I have a 2 year old Cochin, got him from a friend that said he has never had any issues with him. I have had him a month and he was real nice, never had an issues with him. Today I was putting the food down and he attacked me, I pushed him away so I could pass by, he attacked me again, and when...

Thanks shelleyd2008 I have already written to them, they think they have found homes for them all. Just my luck too. LOL

HI I am a Newbie and I live near Walton KY, which is about a 30 min drive from Cincinnati OH on I 75. Since I am so close to OH I thought it best if I put up my request on here too along with my home state. I am looking for some laying hens, I would prefer RIR, Buffingtons, Orphingtons, or...

OK Newbie here I live near Walton KY, which is about a 30 min drive south of Cincinnati OH on I 75. I was told to look on here for help in finding some hens. The person who I use to get chickens from has not answered my emails or call's so I would assume they are out of buisness. Any ways I am...

HI I am having real problems finding any young hens around my area. No one has any for sale, or at least maybe where I am looking no one has any. Could anyone on here help me with a few good places to look? I live about 30 min south of Cincinnati OH, and I have searched on craigs list with out...

So it doesn't matter what breed it is, they are all the same temp? Also how long does it take, I heard somewhere it was 21 days? Francine

OK group I have the foam incubator, and have the eggs what next? The eggs are out of our Australorp and Buff Orpington hens and a Americana rooster. So at what temp should I have the heat set at to hatches our eggs, how many times do you turn an egg in a day, how long should they be in there...

HI group, I took a few of our chickens eggs just to see what it is like to hatch a few of our own. I left them with the hen for two days in hopes she would go broody but no luck. First off is that too long to leave them sit in a nest with out incubating them? I now have them sitting in a box...

I didn't know that, maybe our scientist should be studying chickens to see how they can do this miracle. I know I need to know what they have that is helping them. LOL Thanks for all your input I will put down more feed for them then. Francine

About how much feed should you give your laying hens? I have 3 hens that are just now starting to lay for their first time, I also have a rooster that is with them. How much should I be feeding 4 chickens in a days time? I let them free range in our back yard, but I don't know how much they are...

Are they open at 5:30 am? I thought the gates were closed until 7 am? I am thinking of bringing some rabbits to the next swap date, what does it cost for a booth? And I take it they let you stay with your stuff once you set up the night before right?

I was told you couldn't sleep in your car on the fairgrounds, not unless you have a set up for selling stuff at the swap meet the next day. So where would you park to sleep, but still be the first in line when the doors open on Saturday? If you get there when it opens at 7 am, will you still...

I am a little annoyed here, I think this is the worst run event I have ever come across. I heard it through the grape vine that the Southern Ohio Poultry Association was having their annual swap meet just a few days ago. I have been searching all over the web for more info in regards to it. I...
