I have several of these that I am looking to sell. I live in Waukomis Okla which is in north central Oklahoma. selling for $8 a piece for pickup or local delivery only

i/ve got 27 chicks that are 2 1/2 weeks old now. i built a 4x4x8 foot out of plywood and hardware cloth on the bottom and put a tarp down underneath to catch all the poop. its plenty tall enough (4') they can/t fly out for quite a while and i have a heat lamp on one end and their feed on the...

i like catching grasshoppers and throwing them in the hen house! boy do they go nutso!! when i let them out i/ll go fllip logs and boards over just so they can scratch and eat the bugs.

i have 7 hens:2 SLW 1 Brown Leghorn 3 EE 1 Mutt. i get 4-7 eggs every day and my EEs are the best! i can/t get enough eggs to keep up with customers. i sell for $2.00 a dozen and they bring me the cartons. getting a load of salmon faverolles that i hope to have laying by fall. i/ve never had...

i would wring its little neck and be done with it. quickly and easily. its better for you and the chick this way. you don/t want to breed this bird whether it be hen or rooster and you don/t want to babysit a deformed bird either. it is part of hatching and raising your own birds. just try...

i/m like you and i want a crowin rooster! otherwise it just ain/t natural! lol there/s gotta be somebody to keep them females in tow and he/s gotta be the man to do it. he/s just vocalizing his authority. a rooster without a crow is like a goat without a bleat

i have 3 EEs 2 SLW and 1BLH and they all started laying really good the first of Jan and we also had a huge cold snap to come through here but it didn/t stop them at all. i had frozen eggs for a week that i had to feed the dog or back to the chickens but i was happy w/ production. i made up my...

i wouldn/t change a thing! make sure they have plenty of food and water and if the eggs freeze they freeze. thaw them out and cook and give them back to the chickens. i haven/t had chickens become egg eaters because i left an egg in the box. i don/t think a couple of days is going to start...

I have about a dozen cochin cochin mixes polish mixes and frizzle hens and roosters for sale near Enid Okla. contact me for pics. will share. almost all hens and roosters were hatched this past summer so will be ready to lay come spring.

i just ordered from Cackle yesterday! 25 Salmon Faves and 10 BJG! due the 3rd of march. can/t wait for the cotton balls to arrive

i let my group free range the last couple hours before dark. they don/t go far and it keeps the predators more at bay because of the limited time that they/re out. and i can keep my eyes on them also. haven/t lost a chicken since i started doing this. i used to free range all the time and i...

i/m sharing your feelings! 2 of my EEs started laying this week. just got my first blue egg today and got a pink egg 2 days ago and today. i have a brown leghorn that has been laying 2-4 eggs a week here recently also. i can definitely use the eggs too. congratulations again

depends on how much protein and light and the weather. it takes a lot of energy to keep alive at the temps that have already been this winter which it isn/t winter yet technically. you will probably get a few here and there but they will def not start laying good til late winter early spring...

the wing dance is exactly what the others say! i/m your man and you belong to me. almost like he/s herding them into his own personal corral. don/t become too friendly w/ your roosters either. a lot of times the closer you get to the roosters the more they see you as a threat or...

i know the sooner i let mine out to free range the sooner they go up. if its late when i get hom to let them out, they stay outside longer than they would otherwise. almost like they/ve just been let out of prison and want to enjoy as much outside as they can
