    Introduction

    I missed this question template: (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? Pretty new. Most of my coworkers have poultry and other livestock, but I live in the city and just dove into chickens in the spring of 2025. (2) How many chickens do you have right now? I have 12...

    Olive egger roo colors and genetics

    I'm still new to this, but I've got an "olive egger" (allegedly) that I can't figure out. She's all grey, and I don't get any olive eggs lol. She's only about 11 months, and she was right on the edge of laying/not laying yet when it started to get dark last year. The quantity of eggs I'm...

    Profitability

    I know this is kind of a stale thread, and I have no advice on running a profitable farm. But you might find this site valuable (walkthefence.com). Basically you put in info about your flock and the site builds you a forecasting dashboard for egg production, meat, hatching, feed costs, etc. I...

    Introduction

    Hi, I'm fairly new to raising chickens (started last spring) and I've already gained a lot of helpful knowledge from these boards. I have an assortment of 12 hens in West Michigan that are doing well so far. I look forward continuing to learn from you all and share what's been working well...
