    Whats your Favorite Breed?

    Buff Orpingtons. They're beautiful, multi-purposed and really friendly.

    At what age can chicks be fed scratch for treat?

    When a hen hides out around the farm somewhere and hatches a clutch of chicks, they come running out and eat scratch with her at feeding time. You can definately give some to pullets/cockerals of that age with no ill affects.

    Chicken Feed + Kitchen Scraps = ?

    I let my chickens free range (when I'm working outside to supervise them) and feed them surplus produce from the gardens. I sometimes feed table scraps, but try to avoid giving them much bread since it has very little nutional value.

    my chickens ate thir own egg

    Some say that chickens may begin eating their own eggs if they have a calcium deficiency. You could try giving some oyster shells and add some golf balls for a double pronged approach.

    Aren't dogs and chickens great?

    I have what the vet speculated to be a retriever mix that gets along with the chickens well. When he was a puppy, I would take him into the coop and set in my lap while the chickens walked aroud us. I repeated this until the chickens became a normal part of the environment for him and nothing to...

    Worms for treat

    In the past, I used to keep pieces of old wood on the ground and flip them right after a rain to get the worms underneath. The chickens loved them.

    I know they're not stupid, but they sure act like it...

    They can certainly be bird-brains at times, but still not as bad as turkeys.

    How tame are your guineas.

    My guineas are fairly tame. They stay home, return to their pen without a hassle and follow me around when I'm holding any container which they believe to contain feed. I handled them quite a bit as keets. I've read that they can be made tamer by letting a friendly breed of chicken hatch, raise...

    Hello From Seagrove, NC!

    Hello, everyone. I've found this site to be a great source of information and decided to go ahead and sign up. I've kept poultry for about 10 years now and enjoy it as much as ever. Of all the breeds I've kept so far, my favorite is the buff orpington because of their golden color and great...
