    Where to get pullets?

    Has anybody bought any pullets online? I've watched some reviews of people purchasing pullets online, but the only issue is that the pricing plus shipping is expensive. I've reached out to my local supply store and they have 2-4 month olds for $25-30. Is this a good price or should I wait to get...

    Local feed stores

    I don't know why, but it just popped up in my head, does anyone know what happens to live poultry not sold at local feed stores? I would think there would be some unsold poultry left.

    Turkey beginner

Will snipping off her flight feathers really prevent her from flying? 3. What is the best breed to have as a pet? 4. I don't want chicks and...

    A cat issue?

    Over the past 2 weeks, we've come outside to dead chickens, some without their head and neck, some with only half of their body eaten, others dried up, and some with just the structure of the wings and feathers left. I've done many research as to who the predator could be, since we fence our...

    Female pekin mate

    I don't have a video of her, but I went to check on her and she was no longer wobbling her head, instead, she seems to be hiding. Should I bring in another male?

    Eggs to eat

    I was watching Becky's Homestead and she mentioned if my chicken's eggs had poop on them that may mean there are worms, but I've collected and wash clothed cleaned them before watching the video, so I don't remember if they did have any poop but I know some were dirty. Is it still safe to eat...

    Chickens are randomly dying

    Thank you! Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture but both chickens were lying on their backs. I would say they were both about 2.5 years old and were hens in a flock of at least 10

    Chickens are randomly dying

    It's starting to get warm here in Minnesota, no more winter, but yesterday and today I found two dead chickens. They were pretty healthy, nice and fluffy, I didn't find any predator marks on them. What could be the problem? Is it because of the sudden change in weather? But the first one that...

    ordering chicks

    I have never ordered chickens online before, but I might plan to. However, how does it work? Is it guaranteed that it's safe for the chick? If so, what sites do you recommend? Also, do I have to pick up the chicks? Where?
