    LGBTQ+ Poultry Keepers

    Oh my goodness this is a LONG thread! I tried reading through the first few pages (that was a heck of a ride), as well as the last few pages. As someone who identifies as Ace, I'm not always accepted even into the LGBTQA+ family. I hope that's not the case here! There were too many pages to read...

    OHio ~ Come on Buckeyes, let me know your out there!

    I visited a Family Farm and Home the other day and their minimum was also 6. It must be state wide.

    I don't have a food saver, but I'd love to get my hands on one! For now we use ziplock bags and press as much air out as we can. Luckily the jerky never lasts long, so I've never had to test exactly how long it'll store for.

    I ordered three Wyandottes, an Easter Egger, a Steele Egger, an Orpington, an Ameraucana, and an Australorp.

    OHio ~ Come on Buckeyes, let me know your out there!

    That's an incredibly good question that I sadly don't know the answer to. My GUESS is one of the Orpingtons. I didn't get to see which chicken was in there, but it's a brown egg, not blue or green. Unfortunately, we also have several brown egg layers so..... :confused:

    I'm in Mahoning County, near Youngstown. I have 8 hens, all from Meyer Hatchery, hatched this year during the second week of March. One of mine just started laying today, and we're still waiting on the rest to start laying!

    First egg!

    I'm so excited (eggcited lol)! I checked this morning and didn't see any eggs, but this evening I found this one little egg. This is our very first egg ever, and I have NO IDEA which hen it came from, but I thanked them all equally for it!

    Ended Official BYC 2022 Summer Fair—Favorite Fair Memories

    My favorite fair memory was with my grandparents. Grandma took us to a fair and was showing us the horses and the horse shows when I heard an announcement for a bubble gum blowing contest. I was like 7 or 8 and of course I was CONFIDENT I could win that! So we rushed over to where the contest...

    Now for a real preservation entry: Beef jerky! This is just the first batch since my dehydrator couldn't handle all of the beef in one go.

    I don't think this counts as an entry since I'm only preserving it overnight (it's dinner tomorrow), but I wanted to show off my very first basil tomato sauce. Made with tomatoes and herbs from my garden.

    Dust bath help?

    The DE I have is what the feed store recommended. Is it not good? I can get a mix of sand and topsoil for them if not. Or should it be mixed with something else? Thanks for the great idea of burying the bin!

    Dust bath help?

    Hello! I searched for a thread to see if my question was already answered, and couldn't seem to find one, so please accept my apologies if I missed it somewhere (these forums are HUGE!) Anyway, I've been trying to set up a dust bath for my chickens. I got a medium sized tub from the Dollar Tree...
