    How long does it take for an egg to form?

    Quote: I wanted an answer to this question myself. So, i came to BC naturally and found that the threads go off in all directions and indeed, the replies just get to be OT immediately. I watched a video on UTUBE about how to prepare chickens. The bird had stopped laying suddenly. Once the...

    GMO discussion with teacher

    Quote: Suing is one thing and COLLECTING is another. Don't you think? My argument would start with the fact that each subsequent generation is a GMO and go from there. Mapping the DNA of corn kernels next to each other on the cob would show slight potential differences IMHO and that what...

    I've decided that raising chickens = heartache.

    Quote: I would say that ANYTHING you try to raise will result (at some point) in heartache. (Ask me about last season's cucumbers...) So perhaps, "...thinking it would be easy..." is your first mistake and listening to someone else is another. The advantage: You will learn a lot in dealing...

    Hello from OK!

    Hi from The Osage Rez. We just dressed out 4 meaters yesterday. The largest (10 weeks) was 4.75 #'s and it was a solemn first time for me.

    Quote: I feel as if I have been lucky or blessed or Karmalized or what have you, all along. As I held the first egg in my hand I realized though, just how awesome Nature is. One of the birds is consistently laying double-yolks and we can't keep enough eggs on hand. I have treated open wounds...

    Hi. I have no problem participating ...

    Quote: I gather different methods from different sources. Most claim what you are, about leaving food out 24/7. Others claim 12 hours on 12 off. These particular birds are voracious -- as though their moderation switches have been turned off. They eat until their crops get so distended that...

    Hi. I have no problem participating ...

    Thank you. I've been reading about someone that had a roo bite the skin off a hens head/neck and all the steps that were taken to nurse it back to health, i.e., yogurt, penicillin, etc. I respect that. In fact, I have treated one of our own layers that had a pretty serious injury and she lays...

    Hi. I have no problem participating ...

    ...but today I came here to get some answers from the experts. We have (as of April 2011) been raising chickens and on August 24th we bought 15 Cornish Broilers chicks. I will do a search but the condition I'm about to describe is to me, unheard of... and I'm older than you probably. The...
