    Dumbest Things People Have Said About Your Chickens/Eggs/Meat - Part 2 : Chicken Boogaloo.

    Lol, All of the little roos are avid gardeners in my soon-to-be blackberry row. However, at the end of the day, it is a race from the tractor to the coop/greenhouse. Seabiscuit is showing a healthy gait, but I haven't been able to get the shoes on his feet yet...

    Dumbest Things People Have Said About Your Chickens/Eggs/Meat - Part 2 : Chicken Boogaloo.

    Here in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, they have this race-thing that happens once a year... Keeping that in mind, my friends and I were sitting around talking, and decided we were going to have what is known as a "Derby Party" this year. It will mark the first year that I haven't worked for...

    Breeding Delawares to the Standard of Perfection

    Hello everyone, I hate to jump into the middle of a discussion, but I'm going to anyway, as I have to start somewhere and this thread seems like it is the most appropriate. I received my first Delaware chicks three weeks ago. My plans are to carry a self-sustaining stock in order to provide...

    Post pics of stock from Ideal Poultry please !!

    OK, I have a bone (or 16) to pick with Ideal Poultry... I ordered a total of 9 chicks, and received 25! Now, I know they said they might pack extra males in the box for warmth, but that is a lot of extra poultry to handle. To be honest, I am not really complaining. All animals sent to me...
  8. Here is my brooder for 8 chicks, guess I will have to improvise tomorrow. I will let them all settle in to the new flooring and surroundings before I throw them another curve ball...
