I've never had a problem with roosters I've even had 50%+ at one time or another. Same with introducing new birds I just throw them in and watch for a bit and there's usually not a problem. That being said I might just be super lucky. 1 roo for every 5-12 hens sounds pretty good to me.
I learned not to long ago that you need a permit for non domestic quail. I also recently learned in my area of oklahoma they generally don't give a darn reguardless. I would get one to be safe if you were selling alot but I doubt I would bother otherwise. That's just me though.
At the feed store I work in alot of customers feed 14% small creep to their chickens and 3 way feed, has anyone on here tried this? Also has anyone tried super scratch? I looks like good stuff.
What is chicken people? Is it a series, or a documentary, etc. Also why horse barns? And any suggestions on where to get leg bands? I think I've seen them at atwoods, but we might have some at my job.
Until this coming spring I'm planning to save a couple thousand+ to build a large breeding setup for Amuricana chickens. I'm still working out how I want to set it up any ideas? I'm definitely am adding auto waterers, and I already have 3 small incubators. I would like to be able to keep an eye...
They're doing great! I have plans to build a bigger pen already, and I bought a few more pideons. I started a new job at a feed store and I'm learning tons. My next plan is to join a pideons club.
No kidding I'd much rather have this as an addiction! I just need to find some kinda club now local to me for pideons, shouldn't be to hard in oklahoma.
Wow tons of good info here, I can already tell how addictive it can be lol. I'm afraid I'll end up with atleast a few lofts in the next year or so. It doesn't help I work at a feed store and have enough scrap materials to build coops with since my family has a construction business lol.
