    Dumbest Things People Have Said About Your Chickens/Eggs/Meat

    My local supermarket has brown eggs selling much cheaper than the white eggs. My thought is they are slower selling and get a price break because of the reasoning of posts above... The brown egg has something wrong with it, it's unclean, etc. So it's not in high demand at retail. Crazy!

    Dumbest Things People Have Said About Your Chickens/Eggs/Meat

    Was talking to a local guy about my chickens and overall I thought he knew a thing or two about raising livestock as he's had rabbits, chickens, guinea hens, etc. So I tell him I don't have a rooster and don't plan to get one. I said how lots of people think you need a rooster to get eggs from...

    Been finding conflicting info from books and people who raise and sell poultry so I am continuing research. 'Storey's Guide to Raising Chickens' (page 103) says for Layers 0-6 weeks (starter) give 18-20% protein. - Layers 6-14 weeks (grower) give 16-18% protein. Thanx for your info!

    How much was the 50 lb. bag of feed? And also what % of protein in the feed?

    Somehow I have one more chicken than I previously posted. Another Ameraucana followed me home! How did that happen? O.K., 8 chicks! That's it, I'm done (for now)!

    Great thread! I had heard that about raccoons and Pepsi years ago and totally forgot about it! When I first moved to where I am now I saw a Fisher (or what I thought was a Fisher) eating composted corn cobs. Now that I have started a small chicken flock I hope that Fisher has moved on and is...

    The guy is having a hatch in 1 1/2 weeks (his own flock) and it's straight run, and they go fast. I didn't ask how many eggs he has in the 'bator. Is there a way to sex them early? Things I can look for? Also I don't think he ships.

    Just have to announce, it's official, we now have our very own little flock of chickens! Yay! I have 3 Black Sex Links, 2 Barred Rock and 2 Ameraucana. They are a week old and doing great! I'm looking to add a Mille Fleur d'uccle Bantam in about a week and a half. After that I will start...

    The Baltimore Oriole is a very pretty bird, usually way high up in a tree and harder to spot. But if it's nesting try to see the nest because they are 'weavers'. They weave a hanging basket nest for their nest. Nice to see when you get a glimpse!
