His quality.

This roo is 9-months-old I would appreciate feedback/critique from knowledgeable person thanks

it's just like trimming your finger nails. cut them too short and it will bleed and hurt.

I was hoping to find someone near me that has some. Is yours a good layer? Are the eggs extra dark and large?

Who has this breed?

Your COUNTY doesn't allow roosters??? How can that be? Craziest thing I've heard lately.

you sound like a busy young lady. animals are way better than anything else going on socially these days.

also your pile should be equal parts of green material, dry material and moisture. if you have a small tractor with a blade on the front, just push the pile around once a month or so to stir it up and get air inside.

you don't have to blow it out. leave it in a cool dry place for a long time, and it will dry up inside. it won't rot because it is so tiny. you know it's done when you can shake it and hear a little ball like thing inside. i have even put then in a food dehydrator to finish them off.

according to what I have read, you should only have one drake for that amount of hens.

I learned the hard way that barley and rye are not to be fed to chickens. There is some non-nutritional ingredient in those grains that gets thick in the hens digestive system, and keeps important nutrients from being absorbed, thus stops or slows down egg laying.

Oh my! I found a pullet egg today. She isn't more than 4 1/2 months at the most. Does this sound about the right age for an ISA to start laying? If not, what is normal for ISA Brown? thanks

thanks

STANDARD OF PERFECTION I believe
