Look around for small dairy or pork farms selling out, you might be able to pick up a grain bin for cheap and talk to a grain company about delivering bulk grain, delivery might be cheap if you have commercial farms in the area using the same company, talk around. another thing you could...
I've got meat rabbits in the same facility as chickens, though the are seperated and the rabbits are in hanging cages. I would never recommend housing rabbits on completely solid flooring especially with other animals, they're just too prone to parasites. i have seen settups where the chickens...
I'm looking for a bantam Rhode Island Red cock to use as a stud, the pullets I'm breeding conform to the SOP very nicely and I'm hoping to find a rooster that does the same. I am willing to pay a reasonable amount of money, drive or pay for shipping for the right bird. thanks!

I manage a small dairy farm and pretty much always have a folding box cutter on me, it cuts anything and the blades are about $0.04 a piece, for killing chickens my favorite tool is a small spined paring knife, victorinox does make a high quality very usable knife. If you don't feel like...
Hey everyone, I've recently acquired three very nice rir bantam pullets and I'm looking for a stud for them. I live in frigid Vermont so a rose comb would be preferable, but i have kept single combs up here and know all the tricks to keeping them frostbite free. I'd be willing to drive or pay...
After a 5 year hiatus because of college and frequent job moves I've been able to get back into breeding and showing some birds. I've never worked with silkies before but ended up with a pretty nice pair recently. I'm wondering if someone could tell me what actually counts as a fifth toe, the...
sorry it took me so long to get back to you, i actually may have a violet neck, it is still young so it's neck has not fully turned the dark color that your probably expecting and before i say yes or no i want to double check that thats what it is.
I have a bunch of ringneck doves that I'm selling in Groton MA, I have both smooth and silky and might even have a few cresteds for sale, I've got a couple different colors. Whether your looking for something specific or just want to get into doves please contact me.
Just over one year old bred from very nice SQ birds, due to circumstances I can not keep him, if you are interested or have questions please let me know.
Selling a very nice old english wheaton rooster, roughly one year old this spring, hatched from very nice SQ birds. If your looking for a pair I can set that up too, he is pullorum tested. PM me for details or questions.
i think that vultures dopn't have head feathers so they don't get covered in blood and other gross stuff associated with carion. Also, have you ever noticed how naked neck/turken chicks don't have feathers as day olds yet poults do? My poults quickly outgrew my chicks, but it may depends on the...
i know i'm a little late but pigeon eggs aren't shipped because pigeons and doves should almost never be hatched artificially. Baby doves and pigeons are born blind and naked and are completely reliant on there parents to survive for the first month, unlike chickens which are born feathered and...

i believe you are referring to a clikpped beak, where they cut off the front of both the top and bottom beak to prevent picking, but correct me if i'm wrong. Beak clipping is something different, you only take off a small amount, it doesn't hurt the bird or cause blood (it's like...
I'm raising standard cornish chicks right now, strictly for meat. Their three weeks old and about the same size as my freedom rangers were at that age, there growing wikid fast. But they are also really energetic, but so are cx's up to that age. They're also getting agressive, i can't stick my...
