    How long can i keep rangers

    Potentially off your topic but I have a Red Ranger I picked up in 2019. She is currently still alive with no health issues and gives me 1-2 eggs every week. She was purchased with the intention of eating but clearly didn't happen. Size reference this Ranger with a pure Bielefelder hen both are...

    Rooster appreciation

    I know roosters can get a bad rap (rightfully earned) but I have always enjoyed my roosters. Here is Redneck (thanks kids for another ridiculous name for our chickens that stuck). He is a Bielefelder/Cream Crested Legbar cross. In the background is Bob my og pure Bielefelder rooster and Rednecks...

    Big girls, but what mix?

    Here is a size comparison between a pure Bielefelder and a Red Ranger. I would say it is highly likely to be some sort of Biele cross. For many of my crosses the Biele genes carry over well to the next generation. But I crossed mine with other autosexing breeds like the Cream legbar and 55...

    Broody-henitis

    Thank you all for the advice about broody hens. I wrote my post to just to vent a little about the craziness of my birds this year with everyone wanting to be a mama.

    Broody-henitis

    Let me set the stage... I have a hen and for lack of a better word she's a b***h. I thought Buff Orpingtons were supposed to be nice but I digress... Well I got behind collecting eggs a few weeks ago and low and behold this hell hen has taken up residence in a nesting box packed with about 15...

    DECEMBER Hatch-A-Long!😊

    My hubby said this first little baby looked smug atop its unhatched siblings. Im trying to resist the urge to hover over the incubator and watch some of the others hatch.

    Ok thank you. I unplugged the turner so it is stationary.

    DECEMBER Hatch-A-Long!😊

    Came home to some over achievers. I hope this isn't a silly question but do you absolutely have to take the egg turner out of the incubator. This is my first time using this model and the hubby wanted to keep it in to keep the chicks from knocking each other over but I'm on the fence.

    DECEMBER Hatch-A-Long!😊

    I'm super late to this but I'm in lockdown with my eggs. Finally talked the hubby into a Nature Right 360 to incubate the eggs this time. Im hatching Bielefelders and hopefully a few Biele/55 Flower Hen crosses. Here is "Biele Bob" and his ladies can't wait to see the babies.
