    BREEDING FOR PRODUCTION...EGGS AND OR MEAT.

    hope so. Yeah I thought it odd to be molting now. Have had the light turned off for almost 3 months now. But their age is right for molting now. This has neen a strange flock from the get go anyway. I think I will reduce them and bring in a new breed or grow more Lav. orps. Have been considering...

    The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

    I was wondering if my American lo would loose value if I bred them with an English lo or if they would retain value? My ALOs are pretty big with hens around 8# and I heard that the english are a little bigger.

    Why is Purina feed "bad"?

    Guess i'm one of the lucky few. I grow and sell organic/natural crops. I can. I have a green house, of which, I just picked lettuce to have salad for dinner. And I have been blessed with great water. My well is 605" deep. When tested they tell me I can sell it as is because its so pure.

    BREEDING FOR PRODUCTION...EGGS AND OR MEAT.

    I have been keeping a heat lamp in the coop mainly to keep their inside water from freezing. I have a light but turned it off as it didn't help with the egg laying situation. I had hoped the heat lamp would help but atlas, no avail. Counting what I have molting I should be vetting 10-12 eggs...

    BREEDING FOR PRODUCTION...EGGS AND OR MEAT.

    Maybe they can get lucky and have someone like me. I go to my friend's horse farm and load up on manure. I can burn it with wood ash or add directly to plants to boost plant growth.

    Why is Purina feed "bad"?

    Well my thought was a little was okay but if you eat it everyday then the body might not be able to expel it over time. As far as the exthroxyquin, I cannot escape it because of what it available in my area. I am trying to use maggot farms to supplement their food but that is hard work to make...

    Great Depression of 2016

    I have to put my two cents in.... The one thing we have that will make a difference during an economic meltdown is the Barter System. Those of us who can produce food will get along just fine using this system to swap for the things we need. However, I suggest to stock up on ammo now because it...

    What do you wish veterinarians knew about chickens?

    I teach Poultry Judging for 4-Hers. Many of the questions I get from parents concerning their birds include what is normal for poop?, and how can you tell what is wrong with a hen by the shell?
