    Game fowl enthusiasts: What's a fair price?

    I'd be selling them as pets rather than show birds. I traded them for some roosters that I hatched and I don't know their background. (The guy I got them from has a very "hands off" philosophy of chicken keeping. They sleep wherever, lay wherever, brood whenever. He just supplies calcium and...

    Game fowl enthusiasts: What's a fair price?

    I have a small flock of game fowl I'm considering selling. The flock consists of 8 females and a male. Six of the pullets are at the point of lay and will get started as soon as the days get longer; one pullet is 3 months old; and the hen of the group is a year old. The rooster is a bantam...

    "So this is the design for the new coop." "Not bad, but where will we put my rock collection?"

    Should neighbors combine flocks?

    Here's my game hens. They're kinda camera shy.

    So here's a video of my boys: One purebred Dominicker and three Dominicker x White Leghorn.

    Should neighbors combine flocks?

    I'm going to post a video of my birds later today. I'm not planning on kidnapping their rooster for breeding purposes, as delighted as I'm sure he'd be to seven game hens all to himself. As far as I can tell, none of my game birds are males; they're seven months old, so I'm pretty sure the...

    Should neighbors combine flocks?

    No worries. Step one is finding a nice polite way to ask the neighbors to restrain their gamecock, hopefully without literally or figuratively ruffling too many feathers. None of mine are going outside the run with him on the loose. My seven, seven month old game hens have integrated pretty...

    Should neighbors combine flocks?

    The only males I have are a purebred Dominicker who just went "red in the face" a couple weeks ago and is attempting to crow, and three Dominicker/White Leghorn crosses that are about two and a half months old that I rescued, quarantined, and have successfully integrated into my flock. The...

    Do you have Muscovys? One of my EE pullets got caught in my live trap once. She won't make that mistake again!

    YO GEORGIANS! :)

    When I had that problem I set some live traps around the coop baited with the "leftovers" of the attack. I'm not sure if I caught the original perpetrator or just someone cleaning up its mess, but so far I've caught two possums, a racoon, and a skunk. Cameras are a good idea. I've also heard...

    Oops. I guess there is a thumbnail. And I guess I attached it twice. Maybe I'm not so good with video :P

    Should neighbors combine flocks?

    Here's some footage of the neighbor's rooster and hen. This behavior is pretty typical. Depending on the time of day, he may be more or less agitated than this. First thing in the morning or when the flock is feeding is when he's worst. I don't know why there's no thumbnail.
