    crouching chickens

    I will tell you how smart chickens are.........whenever they squat when you get close to them, I have trained them to associate the word "SIT" with the squat. Therefore, whenever I want to pick one up, all I have to do is give them the command and obediently they sit. I don't think most people...

    Rode Island Reds?

    I have fifty RIR's and raised them from babies. Very fast growers, friendly, lay big eggs and continuous! When I go into their pen they are all underfoot and I have to shoo them to be able to get in. If I sit down amongst them, they will hop up on my lap. I don't have them integrated with...

    McMurray's New Shipping Practices...has anyone heard about this?

    Any Red Wine drinkers out there?

    MY RECOMMENDATION IS PINK CATAWBA by MYERS..........if you don't like dry, this is a happy medium. Its not too sweet or too dry. I drink it for two reasons: (1) heart, and (2)poison ivy control. I am highly alergic to poison ivy and a farmer told me 10 years ago if I drank a glass of red wine...

    The same thing happens every time...

    I personally think that you have too many birds in your cardboard box at one time. By looking into the box, it seems that there is alot of available space, but the main problem is that when they huddle in the light source, the stronger chicks will climb to the top and the weaker ones will be on...

    treating for cocci, how long till we can eat eggs?

    The recommended waiting period is fourteen days after the last treatment. It can be very painful to destroy all the eggs during that time period. Some, suggest feeding the eggs back to the chiickens, but my Avian Vet said that was not adviseable in his opinion, due to the traces of medication...

    roofs on runs

    I have metal siding roofs on all my runs and two clear panels amongst the solid panels which acts like a skylight. This provides plenty of natural light during the day and does not keep their run dark. The covered runs definitely allow the chickens to go out during inclement weather and keeps...

    Lets Talk Taxes!

    We have used Turbo Tax for years, purchase the update of the program every year. We have deductions for the Farm and the program won't let you error, because it will come back asking verifying questions to be able to qualify for a particular deduction. This is a much wiser method, due to the...

    fighting hens

    I use to think it was because of a weakness that individual chicken was showing or an illness, but they are like children, all of a sudden they get mad at one of the group and they are relentless in their attacking. I recently had a Black Australorp, who was one of forty, raised with all of her...
