    Calloway County. I've got several pullets I'd like to sell. I've got a few odds and ends; partridge rock, white rock, barred rock, easter eggers and red sex link.

    Anyone know of an upcoming swap in western Kentucky? I'm looking to down size a little bit.

    The white egg layers seem to be among the best of the egg layers and efficient feeders. Not the best for meat though.

    I really don't think there is a best hen, it is just what you prefer. Does it matter what color eggs you get? In Kentucky you want a chicken that will be heat tolerant because the summers get so hot. But it helps to provide shade, a good place to take a dirt bath and maybe some ice water to help...

    Kitten wont eat

    Does her belly feel really tight hard? A little gentle belly massage seems to help mine. I wouldn't add anything to the milk, that usually just causes more problems. I would dilute her milk down a little bit especially if she has yellow urine. If she is dehydrated the body will pull moisture...

    Kitten wont eat

    If you just switched her to formula sometimes that is a shock to their system and they won't poop for a day or 2. She should be urinating every time you feed her and the urine should be clear or just a little yellow. If urine is yellow she is dehydrated, you need to dilute the formula and feed...

    Kitten wont eat

    Is she an orphan? How long have you had her? What is she eating? How often? How much?

    Does anyone feed their chickens spent grains from beer brewing?

    My husband brews his own beer and the girls love brew days! We just toss it under a tree or in the garden and the girls dig through it while it is still warm. Great warm treat for the winter too. Plus after it sits it, it starts to draw bugs, then the girls eat the bugs, lol.

    Best Waterer for a Mobile Coop?

    My first coop was stationary, so I just have some large rubber tubs. I've recently built a mobile coop and I was wondering how most people handled the water situation. I like the idea of pvc with nipples, but what do you use to hold to water? Do you attach something to the coop? Make it so...

    Easter Egger?

    About 4 months old, is this an easter egger just without the puffy cheeks? It has darker greenish looking legs. Also, pullet?

    Free chick from McMurray

    I thought about keeping him for breeding since all I have are hens, but then he started to crow. So the coop got moved further away from the house to protect my husbands sanity (he works nights and sleeps during the day). So yup, he is looking for a new home.
