I was recently told by a friend since my roosters are getting a little too rough with my hens and there plucking off their back feathers. That I should give them bacon grease in their water because there missing some type of mineral and that’s causing them to do this. Is this true or is my...

I have this rooster and have no clue what type he is your help is needed.

what about for food purposes. lets say I haven't collected for two weeks would the eggs still be good for eating or pickling.

I was wondering how long will my coturnix quail eggs last if I just leave them in their hutch. I live in florida and my hutch has a closed off section where they lay their eggs all away from the elements.

I have coturnix quail

I was wondering what you think a dozen quail eggs are worth. How much would you pay or how much have you payed ?

I would say that the gutters who be your best bet. With the gutters you could now collect the rain and use it for your flock.

I have never came across those pine pellets before, where did you buy this?

What I did is I took an old tire filled it with fine playgroung sand and now my chickens are loving it.

If it were me I would put and extra box in your new coop just so it does cause any problems between hens

My chicks are now two weeks old and are kicking almost all of their bedding out of their cage and I was wondering if I could replace the shavings with hay, so it will not go every where and get into their food and water.

Haha great stuff gotta love it

I have a baby about two weeks old that looks just like yours. They are telling me he is deffinatly a roo. If youy want to see the pics I posted some on this forum, under the title Chick Identification.

so since I have 7 other bantam chicks for sure, will I be able to keep him with them when they get older? Or will he pick on them since he will grow to be larger than them. I am very curious as to what kind of chicken he will become.

these chicks are only about 10 days old, maybe 11. are the chances high that he could be a standard size? I just cant believe how fast he doubled weight compared to the other ones.
