    Review by '' on item 'Andalusian'

    I was pleasantly surprised that the Andalusians, while being large combed birds, actually had no comb freeze problems over the winter. I live in Northwest Montana, and our weather is extreme, from extreme heat in summer, to extreme cold in winter (30 to -20 degrees and colder). These birds...

    Review by '' on item 'Wyandotte'

    Wyandottes come in an amazing variety of colors, the Silver Laced and Blue Laced Red being my favorite colors. These wonderfully sweet tempered, dual purpose birds, can be confined or raised to free range, they are adaptable, thrifty, predator savy, and their mellow laid back personality allows...

    Help please,Run floor Wet after heavy rain

    Hi, I would use pallets, cut strips to fill in the gaps or put plywood on top, then wood shavings, not sawdust, sawdust is too fine, absorbs water too easily. Pallets would raise them off the wet ground, keep them dry. The softwood (pine only) shavings dry out quickly, and are easy to change...

    Comment by 'little feather' in article 'Cochins Chicken Breed Page'

    I was recently given two large fowl Partridge Cochin chicks. They are so big! What I noticed that is different, at least in my experience, is that these chicks have literal claws on their wings! I have never seen such a pronounced "claw", on the wing of any chicks I have raised in the past...

    friendliest turkeys??

    Hi , Turkeys make great pets! You would be better off with the smaller breeds for pets. It depends alot on the type of chickens you have as to whether they will mix well or not. I have found chicks and poults dont mix well, different growth rates ,food requirements, and temperments. Chicks pick...
