    White Rock Growing Tips?

    Thank you for your opinon al6517. I appreciate the information you have passed on, you addressed my feed concerns. This was a planned 3 family project, so cost would have been spread out among the 3 families but still high I believe. Again not expecting the large weights of X's, I would want...

    White Rock Growing Tips?

    I have 60 White Rock roos coming in the end of May. We can't raise the Cx's due to altitude... From what I have read here, I'm looking at 20 -24 weeks of growing I believe, I plan on starting with unmedicated starter (they will be sprayed at the hatchery for coccidiosis) my question is should I...

    Not entirely happy with meaties. Anyone do White Rocks?

    I'm getting an order of 60 White Rocks the end of May. So I'm curious as to how the ones you have will do as this is my first venture into meat birds and we cannot raise the Cornishx because of altitude. From what I have gleaned here on BYC they seem to be an acceptable meat bird. I was glad...

    Australian Shepherds protecting chickens?

    We have two Aussies, a male and a female. My male is the best at taking care of our chickens, just the other day a big redtail came over the pasture where our birds range and Boomer was on him in no time flat, it amazes me how he knows which birds are a danger, we even have Frugenious Hawks...

    Does anyone work from home?

    I have just started working for a company called West At Home. I found them through Frugal Village, I think. You basically become a customer service agent and receive calls at your home, on your schedule. If you go to their website, it explains it all. I also found WAHM.com (work at home...

    For our bike-ridin', chicken-lovin' friends (grab the tissue box)

    DH and I are riders and last year were nearly rear ended by a big dodge ram, all I could think was this is gonna hurt!! What was funny was the car BEHIND the truck saw what was about to happen and she swerved around him and that is what alerted the driver of the ram, he missed us by inches...

    Living with Pet Chickens?

    I have had a house chicken for almost a year now. Miss Spinner. She does spend her days outside in our patio area or in the baby chick pen, but she comes in every evening and spends time with me and our dogs in the kitchen, then puts herself to bed in a dog carrier. She is a banty cochin and...

    House Chickens

    hooligan As soon as we noticed her beak growing crooked we began trimming it and after only 2 or 3 trims it started growing more normally. We keep an eye on it but so far so good it is off just a hair now you really have to look to notice it. kim

    Slowing down in winter....yeah right!

    2 to 2 1/2 doz a day now. Luckily I have some customers and friends, that are keeping my fridge from over flowing as I'm not the biggest egg eater. I do love going out and collecting, the girls all seem so proud of themselves and there is just something about gathering fresh warm eggs. Kim
