    This is a worm right?

    Yeah, did you see it come out the butt? Could they have pooped out a undigested earthworm and there just been a earthworm there? I am not saying its NOT a roundworm. But I don't have enough evidence to say either way. Earthworms have segmented bodies, if its smooth and not segmented then I would...

    When should I let my 9 week chicks live with the adult hens?

    Rocks are even easier, they don't hold water near as much and its easier on the back. Same thing, use the proper tool first (pickaxe) then just shovel it out. At this point you're making excuses. (Being honest, not mean) Want to see true rocky dirt? I will show photos' of the rocks I dug out...

    When should I let my 9 week chicks live with the adult hens?

    I just use a grading shovel and a wheel borrow. Dig up the high part, place you some pvc 6"-8"/gravel down at the low end... You use a pickaxe first to break up the redmud/clay and the quartz. Then shovel it out to the wheelborrow and dump it on top of your gravel/pipe. The pipe prevents your...

    Plugins or something?

    Sir, Blockbuster was on top when netflix came to them and asked them to adapt. In this case you're blockbuster and I am trying to get you to adapt... but just nevermind getting a headache already. Im' going to go do what netflix did. I' like the hill you decided to stand on.

    Plugins or something?

    Yes, my goal was to add the ability for people to see and get notifications etc from their BYC accounts while viewing my website. I was not trying to make my own forum and if anything I was trying to cut work load out. The plugin would prob have been a wordpress plugin or some other. It would...

    Plugins or something?

    I don't want to create a forum. I was looking for a API or a plugin that allows another server to read the data from another. It would not be creating anything. It would if anything just be redirecting the people and traffic towards you... I feel like I am asking this in the wrong place and a...

    Plugins or something?

    Does backyard chickens have a plugin or api or something? I would like to directly incorporate it into my farms website. There is no reason for me to create a forum or re-create the host of knowledge this company already offers. That coupled with the fact we don't sell any of the same products...

    Where do you guys keep your supplies?

    if its steel, just make sure its painted to slow down oxidation and to allow it to survive the elements longer. Even galvanization wears off over time.

    Chick poop with clear water

    I would be more concerned with the paper used as bedding...mold, slippery and a million other reasons. I use pine (Flake, not shavings) and prefer the deep litter method (just add more as it gets dirty). Shavings are too fine and can mess with their respiratory system. Can get them super...

    Landrace/adaptive breeding discussion

    I am trying to breed them with silkies who are too broody, to introduce that into the RIR and I am adding Brahma (Both Dark and Light) who also go broody but also most importantly to me... makes the birds larger (silkies will shrink the reds) but with the right balance I think you could get the...

    Attack from unknown source took two of my girls? Pics/NSFW

    Hawks dive bomb, breaking the neck and take the bodies with them. That is a specific kill shot to the back of the neck. Ground predator, weasles would have piled the heads into a pile.

    Landrace, Rooster?

    If one was to try to make a landrace chicken breed... how does one control the rooster problem? See the goal would be to let them adapt, right? BUT If you limit them to say one rooster, does it not stagnate the results? Causing a bottle neck on the male side? How does one balance these issues...

    Where do you guys keep your supplies?

    ...(and lock) so its only not (bear proof). I keep it, outside, next to their run that contains their coop. (Mine free range, I just have a 20'*20' run that I use if I need to keep them pulled close to the house and not out in the woods). Keeps rodents from wanting to get into my garage...
