    Bully Chick

    Hi, thank you! I hope it subsides for me too! I didn't let her draw blood. I removed her this afternoon. I saw her peck and drag another chick by the fluff around its eye. It's getting darker outside now so I closed the shade, turned out the ceiling light leaving only the red heat lamp and...

    Bully Chick

    Hi all, I have 4 new chick's and one is a bully. She's viciously pecking all 3 other chick's eyes. I put her in another brooder with food and water and tried each other chick one at a time hoping she'd accept one and not be lonely. That didn't work. At this point, I don't have a way to...

    Post your FIRST EGG pics!

    I got my first egg today! I went out to see if I needed to clean the coop this morning and it did need cleaning but I waited till noon. At noon when I went out I opened the nesting box to clean and there it was! Beautiful medium brown egg. I'm sure as she gets older they will be larger eggs...

    A fair price for hens????

    I know this is an old thread but it fits my question. :) I was offered 2 RIR laying hens that are 2 years old for $12.50 each. I thought this was a bit much since they are already 2 years old. Is that a fair price for 2 year old hens?

    Is this a rumpless chicken?

    I noticed on one of my 14 week old girls that she doesn't have the tail feathers that my others have. I think she is a Golden Comet sexlink chicken but where does the rumpless come from? If she is rumpless, what does that mean? The only breed I thought was rumpless was the Auracauna and I'm...

    Golden Laced Wyandotte Thread!

    Well I got up this morning at 4:30am and waited to catch my suspect and sure enough it is my GLW. All I could do was laugh. It was so cute! Oh man I wish I could keep him. It's a sad day for me. I'm calling around to see who might want our young roo. Maybe I can find someone who would trade me...

    Nebraskans Speak Up!!! NEBRASKA ROCKS!!

    What thread did you buy? Had to be a jumbo spool. Even the largest Gutermann spool should only cost $5.55+tax (500 meters) But then, quilting is expensive. Just as any quilters husband. LOL the GC is a Golden Campine and the CM is a Cuckoo Maran.. I was so frustrated trying to find...

    Organic chick starter? Grind up regular organic feed??

    This part I don't understand. I couldn't imagine a GMO grain being considered organic. I'm only beginning to learn the benefits for my own health. I have fibromyalgia. I have 2 friends who will buy my organic eggs. Both are non gmo and organic. One also has fibro and she says it helps her a...

    Organic chick starter? Grind up regular organic feed??

    I was about to ask almost the same question and ran into this thread. I have been giving my chicks gmo starter non medicated food (Nutrena) But now after learning more, I want mu eggs to be organic eggs. If I start feeding them non-gmo layer feed before they start laying then my eggs will...
