Good Evening People of Oregon! I am actually writing this from Phoenix Arizona currently but I am planning a trip out there next month to check out places to live (along with Washington State). I currently have 19 chickens of my own and I know as far as AZ goes there are a lot of places that do...

Good Evening Washingtonians! I am actually writing this from Phoenix Arizona currently but I am planning a trip out there next month to check out places to live. I currently have 19 chickens of my own and I know as far as AZ goes there are a lot of places that do not allow any chickens or only a...

Thanks for the replies hellbender, Kev, and sharkman! I figured it would have been done already if it was possible, it's been a question I've wondered for a while

I have a non NN specific question regarding gender and incubation. I had wanted to breed/raise Russian tortoises when I was in high school and everything I read said you could skew the gender ratio by changing the temperature during incubation a degree up or down, example: a degree higher than...

Is the Cornish a roo by chance? And how old? Btw that looks awesome!

I was wondering what the earliest age I can put chicks outside full time is? My Turkens are coming up on 5 weeks now and are stinking and dusting up my house so bad I matter how often I clean! Not to mention they are getting too big for the brooder and getting real antsy when in it! I have no...

Ochochicas thanks for the advice, I hold a bowl of their food on my lap and they have started to eat from there but I have to be very still and silent or they scream and run away so I hope they do calm down with age Kassaundra very nice looking birds! Shakespeare is gorgeous! DesertChic wow...

I got them from a local feed store at a couple days old (the day they got them in) and I can't remember if they get their birds from privet or ideal (they told me once) but they are from the same hatchery, all of them

My babies are 3 1/2 weeks old now and everything is COVERED in dust (I've given up cleaning the living room until they are outside lol!)Tthey are not friendly in the least so I'm pretty sad about that (I hold them every day and constantly talk to them to no avail), they scream and try to commit...

Thanks for the information! I'm glad your NNs did better but looks like I'll have to be extra watchful when they go out not that unwind be basically mother henning them the whole time probably anyways lol! I'm switching them to a larger brooder this weekend since it's getting a bit too warm on...

I have a question. For baby chicks, it says to decrease the temp 5 degrees per week in the brooder until it's equal to the outside temp. What if the outside temp is higher than the brooder temp? My babies are a week and a half old and I'm worried about how they will handle the high heat when...

I was just about to ask this same thing! I noticed my babies necks are getting so dry and even peeling a bit! I'll be looking forward to hearing from someone if they have a solution

They get new orders on Fridays. If you're looking for a specific breed you'll have to call to see when they get them in

Wow that is awesome! What kind of seeds are in there? Vegetable, fruit, flowers, trees?
