    YO GEORGIANS! :)

    I feather sex Black Copper Marans and Ameracauna's also if they are less than a day old. Usually 90+% accurate. Can't do silkies or Polish though...too little at hatch.

    French Black Copper Marans in North Georgia

    I have thirteen one week old chicks, which are a Cottage Hill/Wade Jeane mix ($4 each or all 13 for $40). I also have seven 5 week old chicks that are a Bev Davis/Wade Jeane mix (these are $5 each or $35 for all). Additionally, I have 2 roosters (brothers) that are around 6 months old. These...

    roundup: To use or not to use

    We do our entire property using permaculture and it works great. I wouldn't buy anything made by Monsanto.

    Where are all my eggs????

    When I can't find eggs in the nesting boxes I look in the shrubs and bushes. Sometimes they just want somewhere different to lay. I have a few Black Copper Marans hens that are molting right now and they quit laying all together.

    This was weird.....surreal even. What was going on?

    I always see a danger in chickens getting too familiar with certain types of animals. I have a neighborhood cat that wanders around my fenced yard and the chickens have gotten used to him. However, there are also feral cats around that would kill them. I would rather have them be skittish and...

    BYC Homebrewers?

    I also do all grain home brews. 100% of the spent grains go to the chickens, and they pick them clean. Whenever I start an outside brew, the chickens keep a watchful eye, knowing that they are going to get fed when it is all over. I grew Centennial and Fuggles hops for a while, but they...

    How many wine makers do we have here?

    I make wine from the combined fruit that I grow on my place. My first attempt was a few years back with concord grapes. Initially it tasted like pooh, but after a couple years in the bottle, it was exceptionally smooth and fruity. I made a Chardonnay 2 years ago for my oldest daughters...

    YO GEORGIANS! :)

    I lost 2 birds in the coop a couple of weeks back. The attack looked like the work of a weasel, although I have never seen a weasel in this part of Georgia. I put doors on the coop the next day and lock them up every night. I haven't had any problems since then, but that doesn't make me feel...

    Egg Wash Products on Hatching Eggs

    I have a friend who worked for a commercial hatchery. He said to never get hatching eggs wet or to clean them with any liquid. The commercial hatchery actually used a fine grit sandpaper to clean the poop of the eggs. I also use the sandpaper method with good success. I recently incubated...

    Diary of My "Doomed From the Start" Incubation"

    Sounds like a great ebay seller. The first time I got eggs in the mail (2 months ago) I was waiting at the Post Office for them to open so that I could get the eggs before the mail carrier got them. I watched the big Post Office truck pull up, open the back, and the driver threw (not dropped...

    Help strange illness killing chicks.......

    Maybe a stretch, but sounds like symptons of poisoning. Is it possible that someone has put out gopher or rat poison? Gopher poison can come as coating on grains. Perhaps there is residual poison in the gopher poop that these chicks found and picked at? Maybe a long shot, but the flapping...

    Bullied 4 Month Old Chicken with Cloudy Eyes

    I had a speckled sussex last year that developed cloudy/gray iris in both eyes at around 3 months old. The other chickens picked on it like they knew something was wrong with it. I separated it but it became totally blind very quickly. I thought it might have been Marek's, but it didn't have...
