They free range all day to forage and I give a scoop of layer feed every day, they have a water tub and a baby pool that I clean out every third day or so, so the grass doesn't die
My first time with geese. They are the heavy show type, the male actual was champion heavy goose at the show this weekend out of 7. I've searched my yard many times but haven't seen eggs. She has laid in the past with previous owner. They have been breeding, male is protective of her, and her...
Yeah, I already told her that, but she really doesn't want to kill them. I had them up in a dog crate up in the second story of a coop I was making, didn't think anything could get up there. They shoved the dog crate down and ate the mottled and left the paint. We finished the coop the next day...
We've never seen coons around my area before. But a week ago now, something got two of my silkies in the middle of the night, the game camera only showed a possum, so I thought that was what got them, but caught two coons on my game camera last night, and caught the smaller in the trap. My mom...
I am selling off all of my red cochin bantams. They are brooding too often for me, and I need egg layers. NPIP 31-1117. There is one rooster, 4 hens. Two hens are frizzled. Feather quality isn't that great with 3/4 being broody, and last is being overbred by the rooster. The broodies have two...
I have red bantam Cochin hatching eggs available right now, $20 a dozen+. My cabinet incubator is completely full. Smooth cockerel over 2 smooth and 2 frizzle pullets. Local pickup only since it's the end of the week. NPIP, located in Lebanon Ohio.

I lost power at 6:30pm sat and didn't get it to 9:30 Sunday morning. Lost about a dozen chicks from my brooders, we hook up my incubator to the battery in my moms car through the window. Wasn't a good time. Ten minutes after my dad had hook up a brand new generator, the power came back on, but...
Just like how people mature at different rates, some hit puberty at 12 and others not until 16-17, it just depends on the chick in question.
I have a rooster that is 1 year, 3 months old, and still not mature enough to breed, so it just depends.
Yeah. We had to cut the door into the coop bigger for them, my dad thought they were turkeys at first. The rooster is just massive, the pullet isn't laying yet but close to pol
I didn't ask names or what lines, but on the photo of their pullorum papers is Kim Alderich from Michigan. Yeah a lot of nice brahma, one light placed champion assistive.
