    Shrink bags for half chickens?

    I'm particularly worried about the sharp edges of bone cutting the plastic. Not a worry? I've seen the packages of just legs or quarters,but that doesnt have the whole bony underside of a half chicken.

    Shrink bags for half chickens?

    Shrink bags look much better for freezing than vacuum bags, but does anyone know if they work for chickens that have been split in half? A whole 8# roaster is a bit much for our family so i usually split them and vacu pack that way, but i want to try shrink bagging this time

    can 3 month old hens eat the same as laying hens?

    I'm adding new hens to my coop. Before this I had a friend who had a spare coop for raising the pullets separate from the laying hens that we both could use, but she moved. I've never added hens that were this young. I really cant figure out how to feed them different feed, so will layer feed...

    Costco has a playhouse that can be an easy coop

    Annalisa has it right. We don't all have tools, space, trucks to bring home lumber to cut down, or time. This would work really well for someone who want to keep a few chickens in an urban/suburban small area.

    Are you legal or an "outlaw"?

    Legal to the town, but not allowed by HOA(I think) however we're on heavily wooded lots,fairly far apart, and the neighbors can neither see,nor smell,nor hear the chickens,so no one realises I have them

    when is an egg bound hen better?

    I have an eggbound hen in the bathtub right now in warm water. she's laid one egg,but still looks swollen. Does she have more eggs in there that need to come out?

    What does Broody mean?

    is it important to break them of this? I have a broody hen that the rest seem to be laying eggs around her. How do you break them of the broodiness?

    Bins of JOY!

    Quote: Don't use them outside. I found out the hard way that they are in no way water resistant to rain

    Questions about 4-h and meat sheep!

    I buy 4-H lamb from the local slaughterhouse for 200$, so the price you're being quoted seems seriously bogus
