Facilities? Nope.
The idea of having one month old chicks, are just from the ones that hatched at the beginning of summer.
Most of the chickens I've had don't lay through the winter, so I won't be getting eggs from them to eat through winter.
Well this was just an idea. A teenager can really...
Would anyone here search BYC and read
The 12 month plan
I just came up with it and would very much appreciate any input on it and would love for anyone helping get the word out about it. Thank you!!!
I do not do this. I only have a few chickens so I couldn't manage doing this, but I think I may have came up with a good 12 month plan for chickens. I have not googled this or tried to find it nor have I ever heard of this. My apologies if any one has already come up with this. Well here we go...
This may be a stupid question, but I thought about it when I was thinking about incubating. I thought about incubating dove eggs or wild bird eggs. Then, I thought about having to actually mother them, and how you would have to literally feed them by hand. Well my question is
What are the...
Hi all!
I'm interested in getting some sebrights. I have a few questions.
How small are they?
Do they lay everyday?
Are they broody?
How many breeds are there?
If I keep them with dual purpose large fowl, will the large fowl kill them?
Are they predator resistant?
Are they good for free...
I was thinking of getting some of these in the spring. My question is where did you get them? Because I'm looking into a Meyer hatchery magazine and they looks like bantams and yours look like the size of my mixed breed dual purpose.
God I can't wait for my ducks to start laying!! I have a male and female and they will be 6 months old in Oct. Will she start laying then? My dad says she won't start laying until Spring but I really hope she starts laying next month! Does anyone else have a hen that is due to start laying...
Hi all! Just recently I hatched 29 mutt/mixed chicks. 5 came from green eggs, 1 white and 23 brown! They should be laying by Spring!! They are all different colors but 1/2 of them are black on even has feathered legs!!
They are now 3 weeks old and healthy. I had 41 eggs and 29 hatched I only...
I'm not sure where sweet lips is, I am in Lauderdale County. They are just mixed breeds from brown eggs. It was my first time incubating and just found the cheapest, closest eggs I could get.
Before I invest into some expensive chicks. I have some questions?
Are they good at Free Range?
Are the roosters aggressive, will they protect the hens?
How's their egg production?
What do female chicks and male chicks look like?
Is it better to order chicks from greenfire, or eggs from eBay...
I have ducks, why do ducks not have that protective and defensive personality like geese or roosters? Ducks just runaway and hope they're the fastest. Geese only defend themselves and their young. But I've heard about mean roosters all my life, so much that I think they fight for sport.
