    Mash not Going Well - Help!

    Hello everyone! I wanted desperately to feed nonGMO feed, and found a local supplier. Unfortunately, it is a finely ground mash. My chicks aren't eating nearly as much as my previous chicks ate crumble, and it doesn't fall through the feeders as well, either, so I have to go out several times...

    ISO Wheaten Sulmtaler Cock NOT from Greenfire Farms line

    Hello! I just bought an entire flock of Sulmtalers, all of Greenfire Farms lineage. I'd like to find a cock or cockerel who is of breeding age that is from a different lineage, such as Widget Creek, to get some genetic diversity. Thanks!

    Wheaton Sulmtaler Chicken Eggs, Rare Breed, Able to Ship Anywhere

    Which line do your birds originate from? I'm looking for some that are NOT Greenfire Farms because that's what I already have.

    DIY Electric Scalder with NO cutting or wiring needed

    I love this idea EXCEPT ... since the bucket heater only heats to 150, what is the purpose of the thermostat? Save some $$, just add a cheap thermometer to let you know when the water is hot enough.

    What gauge needle do you use? I found Tylan 50.

    Sneezing/Coughing Pullets

    Well, I isolated her the other day but apparently too late. I'm hearing snuffling/sneezing sounds in the whole coop now. I think it's the infectious bronchitis since it came on so quickly. We brought some juvenile birds home from the fair and have kept them isolated, but I admit we cared for...

    Sneezing/Coughing Pullets

    Hello all, I have seven young 8 week old Barnevelders that I hatched who range with my adults. I purchased some 16-week birds recently, but had them in quarantine for a week before adding to the group, and they show no symptoms whatsoever. I have them all ranging during the day in a large...

    Anyone in WV???

    I'm the friend! Thanks, Diane! I'm looking for a show quality BCM cockerel/rooster. I'm in Proctorville, Ohio (just across the river from Huntington, WV) and am willing to drive up to 2 hours for the right one.

    Lavender Ameraucana Breeders .... UNITE

    I wasn't trying to start a debate, just looking for info! I bought them because I think they are pretty, and then got curious about how the were "created." I noticed that many of the eggs I hatched out were more of a greenish/olive color than blue. I'm assuming that is because they are likely...

    Lavender Ameraucana Breeders .... UNITE

    I'm new to breeding but not new to chickens in general. I bought some Lavender Ameraucana eggs from Diane (faykoko) and I got a good hatch last Thursday/Friday. They are beautiful so far. I just read in the above posts that Marans were crossed with the Ameraucanas to get this color? So...
