    2016 BYC Calendar - Your Pictures Needed!

    He started to develop small black spots like frost bite, but it was 89 degrees here. I loosened it up and they disappeared after a few days. He is a bit louder now, but I don't mind as long as he stays healthy.

    2016 BYC Calendar - Your Pictures Needed!

    They are so funny to listen to with the collar on. Just a heads up for anyone new to the collar. .I put one on my young rooster. I had it so he still crowed but quieter. He was fine with it for awhile but he started to develops some spots on his comb. I originally had it so one finger could...

    New chick killed by mother hen

    Thanks. She gets up and wobbles around, then sleeps, etc. She isn't shivering and she moves away from the lamp and back to it, so I think she will be ok.

    New chick killed by mother hen

    Thank you! The chick is currently in the brooder since I do not have an incubator. I am thinking I should pick one up though. Never know when I might need it. .plus there is 3 more eggs. I have the heat lamp on her, but I am a little worried she is cold.

    New chick killed by mother hen

    Hello all. I have a hen who decided to go broody. She was sitting on two eggs originally, but then stole a few eggs from my other hens. The first two eggs hatched last Saturday (yay!). I knew if I left the other eggs they would be about a week behind and was concerned if she would stay on...

    ROOSTER CROWING at all sorts of times at night

    I have a rooster that was very loud. I was not about to get rid of him or rehome him. He crowed all day long. I did some reading on the no crow collar. I was skeptical that it would even work and if it was harmful. I went ahead and bought it. I don't have mine as tight as some suggest, so...

    Coffee Roasting!

    Excellent. I have my grandma's popcorn popper from when I was a kid. That should work perfectly. Thanks again for the idea.

    When will the avian flu pass?! RESPOND FAST!!!!!

    I heard about the shows being canceled but I hadn't read about possible testing of flocks here. I will definitely look that up. This flu is horrible. I ordered my daughter a chicken finger dinner the other night. It use to come with 6...they have cut that down to 3 at the same price. To...

    automatic poultry waterer

    I bought some of those nipple waterers but haven't made the system yet. How did you introduce the new system to your birds?

    Coffee Roasting!

    I too am a coffee junky. I have not roasted my own, but have been wanting to try it. I like the popcorn popper idea. I have one, I think I will give it a try. Thanks for the tip!
