    American Buff or Pilgrim pair and where to buy just a set of 2?

    I ordered a pair, one male and one female. From the research I've done it seems like the Pilgrims are a pretty friendly breed and I plan on handling them a lot. :)

    American Buff or Pilgrim pair and where to buy just a set of 2?

    Hi All, I am planning on purchasing a pair of American Buffs or Pilgrims. What breed is better for raising as pets with a family with kids? I am having a hard time finding a hatchery/breeder that will sell only 2 geese without a huge small order fee. We are in PA.

    Make-shift tools to get the job done

    I used a old road cone for my chickens.....I had to modify it so they would fit but I ran into a problem with them falling out. I finally started knocking out the birds with a quick blow to the head, then stringing them up by their feet and dropping them down into the cone. The string kept...

    I skinned my whole flock and then de-doned the breast, took to the legs thighs off, and kept the wings for chicken soup. Easiest way I know how.

    Ewww

    My wife and I only got 20 and after a week it was time for them to go outside (per my request not my wifes). I just sent the rest of my flock to freezer camp this weekend and I would have to say I really enjoyed it. It was a lot of work but very rewarding.

    Mentally Preparing For Processing Meaties

    I was worried when I got my birds that they would be hard to kill but after 6 weeks of food, water, more food and poop clean up I am looking forward to some fresh chicken. As my grandfather tells me .... his mother would chop the heads off of the chickens and through them out into the yard to...

    Where am i ever going to put these meaties?

    I got my first batch of 20 this year and I started them in a large dog crate with cardboard around it. I cleaned the pen ever other day for a week and a half and then I finally decided they had to go outside (Farm animals live outside). I put them in my shed and the first night they where out...

    Question about cleaning the coop

    That coop looks very nice!!! I am a contractor so I see what happens when people use regular lumber instead of pressure treated outside. You should be fine because your shed will be able to breath "air is moving around it. You will run into a roting problem where the pine comes in contact...
