    Cuckoo Marans not laying at twenty four weeks

    How much peeping is too much peeping?

    Hi everyone, this morning I received a new batch of chicks. This is my first time using a brooder heating plate and I know that more peeping means unhappy chicks. There are a few who are consistently peeping, even when under the plate. How quiet should chicks be? I think using this new...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I’m in 6b in the Connecticut river valley. I’m most aggressive with my German Johnson seedlings.
