    Best way I've found yet to deal with snake problems!!

    I am not a snake person as far as that goes, but I do not mind at all having a king snake around. We have one here that has been hanging out for the past couple of years, wishing it would mate and make a few more as my husband found a very large poisonous snake skin last fall on the trail below...

    Chickens and Mixing Breeds (sort of )

    Thank you so very much for your reply! I know the Orpingtons are of the same breed, hens are buff and roo is white, and then the buff rocks, I was just curious about this. Does not really matter to me, curiosity.....Thank you!

    Chickens and Mixing Breeds (sort of )

    I have 8 Buff Rock Hens, and 5 Buff Orpington Hens, and I have a neighbor a few miles down the road that has too many roosters. He offered to give me a White Orpington Roo, about the same age as my girls. What should I expect when they mate as far as the chicks go? With the Orps and the Rocks....

    if you have genetic questions

    I have 13 hens, 5 are Buff Orpingtons and 8 are Buff Rocks. I am hopefully going to be acquiring a White Orpington (quarantined first) but would like to know how the mating of these would make the eggs and chicks look?

How can I determine the color of the egg with the cross, and how do I determine the type of the cross, I am still new to chicken keeping and I was wondering how this worked. Please...

    The true cost of backyard eggs!

    You can add food grade DE to their grain and then you will not have to worry about grain moths or any other insects. This product scratches their exoskeleton and dehydrates them! Wonderful stuff, not to mention the trace minerals your chicks will get, and I have been told that it is also a...

    Newbie looking for advice on increasing protein in flock diet: Feather-pecking issue

    When you feed the chickens mealworms, give them the smaller ones if they are still chicks....if you get the large ones, be sure to pinch off the head.... I read on here that it is a problem for baby chicks (with the super worms).

    Newbie looking for advice on increasing protein in flock diet: Feather-pecking issue

    Mealworms are an excellent source of protein, I bought a few back at the end of March, and now have my own colony....Easy and much more cost effective!!!

    Help with new chicks

    All of my baby chicks were vaccinated for Coccidosis and Mareks disease, and so far at 12 weeks, they seem to be doing fine, happy and healthy!
