    Checking-In On Peeps - Post Here To Say Hello!

    We have been so busy that I rarely get on my computer these days. We have been raising out 20 turkeys that we hatched and plan to butcher on the 15th for thanksgiving and we are getting baby chicks, American Bresse, next week to start up a meat bird production. We also raise meat rabbits, have 4...

    My Bresse starter flock

    Because we also have dairy goats, we plan to do the milk soaked grains. We currently do that for our pigs and other chickens.

    My Bresse starter flock

    I have been reading your thread on this topic. I am getting some American Bresse chicks in a few weeks. We are getting these from a reputable small breeder from Washington State. She has not mentioned the issues with the roosters that I am reading here. She has spent years refining her flock to...

    Another Chick ID

    Really, wow, I did not know they were this small. They are actually a tad smaller than my Bantams right now, but maybe they will grow some more. Well, so much for buying chicks from TSC, I do not usually do that, and will opt for a better source next time. Only did so because I wanted...

    Another Chick ID

    but the size is my concern, they are tiny, are barevelders this small? I have never had one so unsure...

    Another Chick ID

    Can I see if anyone knows about this chick that is now 5 months old but 1/4 the size of the other hens who were purchased at the same time. There are two of these little girls. They look like barnevelders (but when purchased from TSC they were suppose to be Wellsummers) but they are not growing...

    They seem fine to me, they are in the shadows so maybe my pics were not the best. But they are happy and enjoying life. Now that they are use to this new home they get to free range most of the day and are only in the cage at night. No fighting now, they seem to have established who is the top dog.

    Difficult Hen With Bumblefoot

    Also once I have the hen inside, after treating her, I keep her in a small cage, so I can treat her foot several times a day and keep an eye on her. This also keeps her from getting her foot injured too. In the past my hens with this issue loved the soaking in Epsom Salt and warm water - they...

    We are raising ours out for meat, we hatched chicks and ended up with 5 roosters out of the chicks... they are now to the point that our main roo will not have them in his space, so had to move them to grow them out.

    This is our Rooster pen, we just completed it today. We have 5 roos that were in our recent chicks we hatched, but only three are currently in this pen. If the others start to be a problem with the big girls we will move them. Our main rooster (Rizzo) is sweet, but did not like these three, so...

    I am actually in the middle of prepping a dog kennel for a roost pen, ended up with 5 roos in our hatching of eggs, and need to let them grow out before culling them. I have 30 hens and one main rooster who is the king, I am hoping that one of my new roos will be able to stay with the hens and...
