    Peacock terminology

    What do you call a peacock strut? I tried looking it up, but the subject is apparently very common regarding men, and that's just awkward. The sticky post "Behavior" section is still in construction and incomplete since 2013. Thank you.

    Utilizing the Chicken Yard

    Is it possible to grow grain in the chicken yard, or will the chickens eat it? I was thinking about utilizing as much of my property as possible. I have 3 and a half acres.

    I went with both hatcheries this year. I ordered ducks and geese from McMurray and a bunch of chicks. So far, we have been going well with both. I lost a duckling a couple days after I got them. She had some kind of growth on her neck. We first thought she was just eating a lot, but it...

    True Wheaten Ameraucanas

    I'm looking for Wheaten Ameraucana breeders for Spring. I would prefer day old chicks to shipping eggs, sexed if at all possible, but not required. If you are a breeder, or know someone who is good, I would really appreciate it. I have blue Ameraucanas and love them, and I would like to add...

    The Olive-Egger thread!

    I have a 2nd gen OE that looks very similar to yours. She has a crested like yours does, but her comb isn't nearly as prominent.
