    Breeding for red sex links

    Hello, I would like to know if I were to buy some Rhode island reds and delawares from a hatchery to breed, would the red sex links produce eggs as much as buying red sex links straight from hatchery?

    Oats for fodder

    Hello, I was just starting out to try growing fodder. I purchased some race horse oats from the feed store and I am on day three and still no sprouts. I soaked seeds for about 24 hrs and then put in trays. Any suggestions? Are the feed seeds not good for sprouting, or do I just need to wait...

    Unstable young rooster.

    Hello everyone. I have a young rooster that is 12 weeks old and for a while now he has trouble with balance. He is unsteady on his feet and falls over and has a hard time getting up.

    Pullet can't walk.

    Update. She was eggbound and was able to pass it with a little help. It was her first egg and was soft. She layed the egg on Saturday and hasn't layed one since. Will she start to lay again or is she messed up now? She is eating and drinking again and moving around more.

    Pullet can't walk.

    I am in southeast Louisiana. Later this afternoon she stood up finally but her back is hunched and tail down and pooped a little white liquid. I'm now wondering if she might be egg bound.

    Medicated poultry developer by arrow feeds

    So I guess I should see if he can start carrying flock raiser or something, say 18-20% protien?

    Medicated poultry developer by arrow feeds

    My local feed store only carries either a medicated poultry developer or laying pellets. I will be having chickens that are months apart and the tag on the bag says the developer is good to point of lay. I will have to go beyond that point because of the age difference in my 3 sets of chicks...

    How high do babies fly

    Hello everyone. First time chicken owner and almost have my coop finished. My lowest roost bar is 32" off the floor. The question is, when I put my pullets in there, probably around 6 weeks old, will they be able to jump/fly up that high at that age? Should I add bars lower to help get up there...
