    Houston Chicken Swap Meet, Lets Start One!

    Organizing a swap meet is a little more than I would want to mess with but we could still use this thread for local chat, selling and swapping.

    Old Fashioned Broody Hen Hatch A Long and Informational Thread

    Well its been more like 5 weeks as we have been getting chicks for a couple. I take the chicks and put them in a brooder after they are hatched. If I let the hen raise them she will get down out of the nest and leave the rest of eggs to be with the chick. I don't have a pen just for broody hens...

    Good luck finding a Silver. I don't think you càn get Silver or Blue by breeding black to white.If you bred back to black, you would get black and white chicks.

    I am using Ideal 236 instead of pure White leghorns. That might make a difference in the sexlinked leg color and barring I am seeing in mine.

    Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

    With my AM/Leg crosses, only the females have slate legs. The males have whiteish colored legs. Not at hatch but around 3 to 4 weeks.

    You dont need anything special. You can ferment your regular feed. All you need is a bucket with a loose fitting lid or an ice chest works well too. Just put your feed in it, cover the feed with water, stir it up a couple times a day and in a couple of days you will smell the fermentation.

    They do drink less water with fermented feed. Especially the chicks because I add a little bit of extra water to theirs. I started fermenting to save money and I had read it's better for your chickens. But it has also gotten rid of my rat problem because it eliminates the feed they spilled on...
