All I can suggest is writing a letter, not an email. Depending on how "urban" the property you are buying is, try to convince the city of the benefits of chickens as well as explaining what the chickens are being used for (4-h is an educational program). Also, if you only have 3-4 chickens, that...
This has happened to me several times in the past. I could never figure out why, but some reasons could be disease, lack of space, drafts, too cold/hot, or birth defects, even. Watch them every hour or so for a little while, make sure there are no signs of illness (runny nose/eyes, lack of...

Hi.
I am showing at the state fair and this is the first year I'm taking a serama chicken. But I dont know what "Class" to put him under. He's a Bantam roo over 1 yr old, but when I look under bantams the list of all the classes they do not have serama ( I didn't expect them to really.)...
I never said i could put nine pounds on a turkey in two weeks. I am asking how much he can gain in that time. I weighed him and he weighed 25 pounds. He gained 4 in one week. He free ranges too. He is not a heritage breed, though.
Thanks.. by pellets I mean purina turkey grower. As in, well, turkey food... I don't know whats not to get. But his food is 20% protein, which Is enough for turkeys..
I have a turkey i am showing at the fair (in 2 weeks) and he is several pounds under weight. He is 21 pounds and the minimum is 25, but ideally 30 lb is the best. He's 12 weeks ( give or take a few ) old and i am feeding him some cracked corn along with pellets. Any idea what he will gain in 2...
The fedex man came a while ago, and my over-friendly hampshire sheep whether decided to greet him. The fed ex man responded " A goat!! don't they head butt?" And back away very cautiously. XD
We had Seismic oil testing a few weeks ago, they didn't find anything, thank goodness. I don't want anyone tearing up my peoples' land for oil. I always think of what my native american ancestors would have done in a situation like this. If they had found something it would have ruined the land...
My Campbells Couldn't fly, and were not afraid of my dog, but my dog is a sheep dog and is supposed to herd and protect them. If they are brought up in your barn/yard and are fed and in a good safe enviroment with no stress they would have no need to leave and probably would not. Welsh Harlequin...
