    Us vs them orpingtons

    I don't know much but it seems to me that you effectively excluded the lavenders from the flock by keeping them separated from the others. The chocolates know that the lavenders are "outsiders". I would just leave them be and let them work it out at this point. Don't try to fix their social...

    Heat lamps for newly hatched chicks - advice please!

    How many chicks are you going to have? You have to have a big enough brooder so the chicks can sit under the heat lamp if they want warmth but can move out of the light to cool off too. Is 90cm about 3 feet? (I'm in the US!) That is a little small for them to get out of the light. My newest...

    Bourbon Red Poults

    Even though female poults will display and strut, they do not all do it. Sorry, just speaking from my limited experience and research online. Please forgive, I won't respond to posts any more. No worries.

    Bourbon Red Poults

    No, all poults do not do this. I have standard bronze turkeys that never did this and also one of my new ones does not do this!

    What Breed?

    Yes, they were advertised as purebred "heritage" breeds. I thought the first one was bourbon red, looking at pictures at a day old, but I thought it would be much darker in color by this age. The second I have no clue! Thanks!

    What Breed?

    I have not had turkeys before and initially bought 2 hoping one would be male. They are Standard Bronze and I'm sure of that. So, I used that old wives tale method of picking 3 more poults (if they hang their feet down they are female, if they draw feet to chest they are male) and I did get...

    Bourbon Red Poults

    You would know because the boys would start to "display". Mine starting displaying at 2 weeks old! See?

    What kind of dog do you have!?

    I currently have a purebred Siberian Husky that just came here and stayed with us 10 years ago. And I got a French Bulldog almost a year ago. Husky is Moki Kasa, Frenchie is Maddie Rose. They love each other and me!

    What kind of dog do you have!?

    Love your Lettie! I had a male Jack Russell for 16 years and a female Rat Terrier at the same time that lived to be 18. Delightful little mischief makers!

    Egg selling laws in CA

    Oh my, I don't know the answer to that. We had our name and registered it with the state. Had to put it in the newspaper and all that costs money, but we did that part first! In obtaining the egg handlers license we were not required to prove our name. I am thinking you can just call them...

    I know what to do, but can I?? Comb issue.

    My black jersey giant named Ebony somehow ripped her comb half off. She doesn't seem to mind except she doesn't like the hanging part in her eye. I know I should cut it off, but I don't want to hurt her. She may be able to take it, but I don't know if I can. The other chickens pay no...

    My chickens act like my doggies.

    Yes, I have 6 Easter Eggers and 1 Olive Egger! I sell eggs and people love the variety of colors!

    My chickens act like my doggies.

    Most of my chickens are older than 2 years and I have such a routine with them that they act like little doggies! At times they know the plan and lead me, other times they just follow me! I have three roosters that all get along with each other and are sweet to me as well. I'm so blessed to...

    What Is This? White substance on hen's comb.

    My namesake hen, Judy Dean, has white stuff on her comb. I thought it would be some soft gooey substance that would rub off, but it is not. It's hard and doesn't come off. Have you ever seen this? What can it be? My other hens are fine and don't have this white stuff. Any ideas? I hope...
