The chickens are in a different area, different coop entirely so I should be OK. I actually am getting ready to thin my breeding stock for rabbits so I might have a 4 hole hutch to use with 1/2" wire almost everywhere (one section would need to be replaced).

I have had chickens for a few years now (6? I guess?), added rabbits in a few months ago, but would like an alternate meat source so I am thinking quail. I despise processing chickens, but quail (I have been told) are far easier, and youtube makes it appear that way as well. Anyway, thinking...

OK, pictures not working for some reason... never had that issue before. Hmmm.... Fluffy butts running from the monster camera - can you spot the odd ball guinea? Best pic I could get of the wiggly little guy (I am assuming "guy" based on the fact that I read that in feather footed...

I had some broodys who were too restless to hatch any eggs (kept switching nests) so I was able to buy the last few chicks at Southern States... all the lady could tell me was that they were bantams of some sort (which I had already figured out at that point (oh, and a lone guinea that she...

My BLRWs have been the absolute hardest for me to sex... I have no idea why! With my first trio I kept going back and forth and at one point had convinced myself they were all cockerels. Thankfully I was wrong and had a nice trio of 1 cockerel and 2 pullets. Even now, I have some crosses from...

I have 10 four month old BA's that have decided to roost anywhere but in the coop - on top of it, on top of the coop next to it, in the trees, on the door, etc. This just started last week or so with one or two, now all 10 have migrated there with them. Two even started roosting in the coop next...

I've never gotten into the specifics of feed percentages or tried to make my own, but what I think about with that scenario is the additives in the bread. There are a LOT of other ingredients usually, except in a very small percentage of sold breads (b/c of the shelf life side of things) that...

Is this the "cape" that I have seen referenced to for cockerels a few times? Mine are around 15 weeks old and I'm still trying to figure out what I have! All 3 together. I know the pics are horrible, it was dusk as they were coming in from their first free range adventure - they didn't...

Coops - We repurposed an old shed into a coop that has worked well, but the placement isn't great. We made a hoop coop last year which has served its purpose and have plans to build something bigger and more functional using pallets, hopefully over the winter. Feed - Our local feed and seed...

I SO want to get to your flock health at some point Bee! It sounds like they are amazingly hardy birds . I wish I lived closer, I would buy some of your eggs/chicks in a heartbeat!

Awesome job! Love the cloth diaper too . BG maybe? Can't quite tell...
