Howdy,
I am likely moving to Colorado pretty soon. I am trying to find a place in between Colorado Springs and Denver to live. Can someone tell me of a good area that is either agriculturally zoned or that allows backyard chickens with roosters? I don't know much about the area and would...
I am thinking about getting into raising dove for meat. I love dove, but am not a great shot. ;) Can someone tell me how many eggs they lay during a given time period? If I raised them how many birds could I expect to harvest during a given period of time? Thanks for your time! :)
Ok thanks. I didn't notice any lethargy or discoloration. Is this one of those things where I should butcher it in the morning or can it wait a day or two?
Today is week 8 for my Cornish crosses. I have one that started doing this gurgling thing when it breathes. No nasal discharge or anything like that. Just a deep gurgle on in and out breaths. I wanted to give it another week to grow some more, but it looks like I will have to butcher it this...

This is my first time raising Cornish Crosses. All of them have poopy butts which I gather is fairly normal. However, one has a nice maggot infestation on his butt. I washed it to clean it up and in doing so found that a lot of his butt has been chewed up by the maggots. I am guessing I am...
Just wanted to share that I got my first breeding pair of chickens ever. Pretty excited to start this phase of my chicken addiction. Let's hope that the no crow collar lives up to its name.
So I just got myself a breeding pair of Greenfire / Sacre Jubilee Orpingtons. I am going to make the Jubilee my main Rooster and I was wondering what I would get with him over my current flock. I am going to breed for the Jubilee's, but I thought it might be fun to see what I get with the...
...fly predators. Word has it those work pretty well. Maybe the combo of them, Vanilla car fresheners, the traps and the ducks will do the trick. *Fingers crossed* I did go ahead and order the 3 runner ducks from Metzer. I just don't have enough room for a big ole duck like a Muscovy. I...
