    bout how much does one sell a dozen farm fresh eggs?

    Lol, I was thinking when I adopted a flock of 15, 12 standard hens, 2 bantam hens and one super tiny bantam Serema! Coming to my house I said he's either going to be thinking thank goodness finally some help or hell no you don't! Um it was the hell no you don't! I'm far north in Washington...

    Has anyone heard of putting food coloring in a hens vent?

    I know this is old but curious if you ever tried again? We have tried scrap hens but I just read the part about mineral oil and actually putting it in the vent for 3 days in a row! We still have food coloring so we'll try again!

    Unsure breeds within my mixed integrated flocks

    I was finally able to catch my flock running around the last few days to get some good photos of them all. This is Ms. Taffy. She supposed to be a buff lakenvelder. She's pretty small, not as small as my bantams but quite smaller then my standards. She's a great layer of smaller white eggs...

    Unsure breeds within my mixed integrated flocks

    Hello! I'm wondering if what the previous owners told me about the breed was accurate. Granted they didn't remember or know for sure, or maybe that's what they were told and like me doesn't know better. However, I've been researching my breeds and that's why I'm here now, in the descriptions...

    Release the flock! Free range times

    Do they coop up? How do you protect from predators? I let them out for breakfast and free range no later then 10am. We don't usually see sunrise until 7 or 8am. I open the coop door no matter what and leave it open all day. So the ones that want out can and come and go as they want. I've been...

    Release the flock! Free range times

    I'm wondering what time do you allow your chickens start their free range? I read to wait until 10am to avoid early predators but my flock goes crazy if I wait that long, literally pushing and flying out of the coop! Lol We have a huge barn to go in plus lots of land to free range on. The only...

    My silkie roosters are terrible for the last month or so, pretty much they got the voice to show me that in fact they weren't girls but boys! Ever since they chase my hens around all day long! Absolutely broke my heart
