    Cannot determine breed

    I have no idea what breed this little chickadee is. The picture was taken at about 18 weeks. Any ideas?

    What Age is Right for Freezer Camp?

    I think a test run sounds like a good idea. I have a few extra cockerels I've been feeding them Purina Flock Raiser (I've got ducks too). They also have free access to grass, bugs, etc.

    What Age is Right for Freezer Camp?

    I'm sure this question's been asked a million times, but at what age should I start making my yardbirds pay their rent? They're about 18 weeks old now.

    My Chickens are Gender Confused! *Pics*

    Thank guys! These were the ones I was thinking were gonna be roos, but I was only about 90% sure. I figured it never hurts to ask for help when you're new.

    feeding challenges plus we're new

    Hi. I've looked around a bit, and I can't really find many good ideas either. About the best one I saw was to have an enclosed feeder with holes big enough for chicken beaks but too small for goat snouts. It's far from perfect, but it's the best thing I've been able to find. Good luck though!

    Our Central CA coop in Progress

    I've seen interiors with paint and without. I think it's really just a matter of personal preference. Once the paint dries, I can't think of any reason it wouldn't be safe for your chicks.

    Purina Layena Plus.

    My local Tractor Supply doesn't carry Layena Plus, but I do have my chickens on Layena. As far as enthusiasm for eating, they seem to really love it. They're only 18 weeks old and haven't started laying yet, so I couldn't say how it does for egg production.

    SO.... when should these kinds of chicken start laying?

    I feel your pain. My chickens are 18 weeks, and I'm so antsy I can hardly contain myself. My wife keeps telling me to be patient, but I'm excited! lol

    My new chickens are broken!

    I use pretty much any fresh fruit for treats, especially watermelon and cantaloupe. I also found (surprisingly) that they love squash. Chickens are about as nuts as I am. Go figure!

    Questioning "the system"

    I'm pretty new at being raised by chickens, but I feed much like everyone else seems to suggest. Mine have access to feed but I also give them (appropriate) table scraps and let them forage as much as possible. There are virtually no crickets, spiders, grasshoppers, etc. left in any area they...

    Made a nipple waterer!

    Thanks for the post. I'd been thinking about making one but hadn't made up my mind. I'm definitely doing it now!
