How many.. Oh god hmmm. Maybe 800 or more. I have Ancona. I do have all the colors possible for every breed I have. They all have their color pure in their genes. I can't name all the breeds but I do know I have all of them and most hybrids.
All my eggs are from my chickens I've never bought a chicken from anyone. They are my families chickens. All gotten way back then from each breeds original creators.
Hm. I just don't want it in my prize flock. This is 300-400 generations worth of chickens. All came from the first of its kind. Their bloodline is pure from the first of its breed. I don't them dying..
I'm hatching 5 polish chicks. I'm not new at all to hatching but Mareks is new. I've never had it in my flock and read about on the Internet and found out how dangerous it is. They are all under a broody hen. So are there other vaccines I can get? How long do I separate the chicks from there mom...
Since the English first settled in America my family has raised chickens. Even before we settled in America. My family created some of the common breeds you know today. I forgot which ones. So, I am NO WHERE near close to a beginner I know everything about the birds. I've had over at least 1,000...
