    How much feed to Red Sex Link hens eat?

    I recently ordered 50 red sex link hens. I'm trying to find out how much money I will be spending a week on feed for them. I plan on free-feeding them with rolling acres layer feed, they will have a 16x8 coop and a 24x8 run with dirt and wood chips. If someone knows how much feed one hen will...

    Will RSL hens be able to clear a 4ft high fence with a clipped wing?

    I recently ordered 50 RSL and am planning to build them a large run, I was hoping to use 4 by 8 hog panels, unless it won't be high enough. I will be clipping one wing so keep that in mind. If not I originally planned on using pallets and putting the panels on top so that would give me...

    What breed of hens are these?

    Okay. That is what I thought but she is just straight black. I think the feathers were just random ones, as I have had that in other hens as well that were supposed to have clean legs.

    What breed of hens are these?

    Hm. That could be a possibility. The red hen looks much different than the red sex link, even though it doesn't look much different in the picture. I have had red sex link with her and they did not look the same. But it is possible.

But looking at them more closely they do not look like that. The black hen(supposedly a Maran), has a peacomb and had...

    What colour of Wyandotte is this?

    I just googled some photos and gold laced blue is what I am leaning towards now. As for the other hen, if it is blue laced red, it is very faint blue, as it looks white too me. I have only been attempting at breeding wyandottes for about a year and a half, so happy to learn more about the breed...

    What colour of Wyandotte is this?

    It's possible that they may be blue laced gold... I do have a pair of GLW and the colours are different from each other. Here is a better picture(I think?)

    What colour of Wyandotte is this?

    Hi there. I recently bought some Wyandottes from an auction, and they were labeled Blue Laced Wyandottes. I'm just wondering what kind of lacing it would be etc. I also have a white laced red hen with him; what offspring would she produce when bred with the blue laced ____ roo? Thanks for any...

    Hi there. I have always bought feed but am curious how easy it is too make my own chicken feed from TSC or a local feed store because it is easy. If I were too buy the necessary ingredients to make my own feed, approximately how much time would be spent mixing etc and what would be the cost...
