    ISO Swedish Black fertile eggs for spring...

    I'm in Wisconsin and will have Svarthona, aka Swedish Black Hens, this spring :) One girl has finally started laying again, so just waiting on the others! We are part of NPIP.

    Anybody Have a Good All-Flock Recipe for a Feed Mill?

    @U_Stormcrow I've seen you helping a lot of people - is there any chance you might be able to share your feed mill's recipe? We might need to tweak it a bit to support all our species, but it might be a better starting point than what our mill makes now. Something they have in there as-is is not...

    Anybody Have a Good All-Flock Recipe for a Feed Mill?

    Our largest client has MS, and has noticed that eating eggs from chickens that have eaten soy causes her symptoms to flare up. It may be psychological, it may not - but we don’t want to lose her business.

    Anybody Have a Good All-Flock Recipe for a Feed Mill?

    Hi all! We've been getting feed at our local mill, but our birds aren't really thriving on it like they were on their fancy expensive stuff (Scratch & Peck). The mill is willing to blend a custom feed for us - does anyone happen to have a full recipe with ingredient amounts/ratios? We have...

    International Black Copper Marans Thread - Breeding to the SOP

    Thanks! He's my fave, too. We're debating now whether to hang onto #2 as a spare or hope that one of our littles in the brooder turns out better.

    International Black Copper Marans Thread - Breeding to the SOP

    Here are a couple more pics I was able to get. Sorry again that they're not great! #1 is our most confident Marans but still hangs behind our Welsummer most of the time. #2 won't stand up straight. He can, but he won't stop bowing every time I look at him, so it's hard for me to get a good idea...

    International Black Copper Marans Thread - Breeding to the SOP

    Thank you! Unfortunately, the space is tight and isn’t conducive to very good pics, but I’ll try again! #2 is verrrrry timid after a couple beatdowns by the others and is locked in an Omlet Eglu with a Jaerhon buddy.

    International Black Copper Marans Thread - Breeding to the SOP

    Hi everyone! What do you think of these three BCM cockerels? I was hoping to have time to let them grow out a bit more, but unfortunately have to cull 1-2 tomorrow :hit

    Which buckeye strain should I be looking for?

    It depends what your specific goals are! On our little homestead, it's vigor > personality > looks > utility. We chose our Buckeyes from a line that everyone says is the friendliest - Bill Dyke's. He started his line with Lay & Shumaker stock. We started with them this year and have got some...

    Norwegian Jaerhon

    Hey all! Just wanted to give those of you seeking Jaerhons a heads up that we’ll have hatching eggs & can have chicks/started birds for people willing to pick up in NE Wisconsin in Fall 22/Spring 23! Ours are from a line straight out of Norway and NOT Ideal or Sandhill. We got our first egg...

    Chicken Breed Focus - Norwegian Jaerhon

    I was gifted some from a lady who doesn't usually share but felt bad after I got two dead batches from Ideal. She brought her line from her family town in Norway back when that was legal! If all goes well, mine will start laying next year and I'll have eggs available (or chicks for pickup) :)
