    Bantam breed that lay the least amount of eggs

    I want to raise some batams and was wondering what breeds lay the least amount of eggs. I'd be ok if they just a layed a couple during a breeding season, but thats it. For me its gonna be a hassle to look ofr eggs everyday as I will be free ranging them. Thanks!

    ringneck clutches

    ringneck clutches

    Ohh ok. The reason I ask is that I am free-ranging ringnecks so most likely mine will go broody and make nests. My plan was to let the hen raise the chicks for about 1 month, then take them from her in hopes that she will start laying again raise another batch. Would that work?

    ringneck clutches

    Am I right in that Ringneck lay 2 clutches a year? If so does this mean that they will raise 2 batches of chicks a year if condition are ideal? Or will they only keep laying if you take the eggs away from them?

    need to replace murdered Red Golden Chicks - Seattle

    Arghh. A racoon just pulled my 3 red golden chicken thru the wire. It was very gross and sad. Anyone near the Seattle area have any red golden chicks still? They were about 2&1/2 month old. I had a cock and two hens. I have racoon proofed my cage and now need some new chicks. Ok thanks!

    Melanistic Mutant sexing

    I have a bunch of Melanistic Mutant chicks that are around 7 weeks old. A lot of them are getting a white/red coloring around their eye area. Are these all cocks? If so I have a whole lot of cocks!

    Quietest Pheasants - anyone know?

    Found this on youtube: at around 20 seconds the golden starts a shreecking noise then a whistle. I am guesing this is its breeding call? This sounds lower volume then the chicken rooster we had to get rid of, so if this is only a couple months of the year I may be trying some golden...
