So, we left a dozen eggs out of the refrigerator from this morning until this afternoon. I've put them back in, but do you think they will be okay to eat? Thanks!!
Pretty sure I have a raccoon problem. Going to set out 2 live traps tonight until I get it. What are some of the best baits to use to get him in the trap? Thanks in advance!!
I received my order of chicks from Murray Mcmurray yesterday morning. All 15 +1 arrived alive and healthy. I ordered 8 Red Stars and 7 Pearl-White Leghorns because I wanted some egg layers of both brown and white. Along with my order they sent me a free rare exotic chick which I have posted...
Bought some chicks the other day from some local chick farmers. They all look healthy, except that I just noticed fresh blood in one of their stools. I'm assuming that is a sign of Coccidiosis. If so, what is the best remedy to alleviate this problem? Thanks!!
Wanted to get back into chickens after a break and a couple of local guys raise and sell a few breeds. I mainly want to raise them for eggs, but also enjoy the whole "raising chickens" thing. I know there are other chickens that are much better for egg-production than these, but I'm probably...
Thank you Sunken. I noticed the shipping was pretty high and the whole debeaking thing really bothers me. I may just have to go with chicks again and grow some patience along with the chickens. :)
I am wanting to purchase some started pullets, but prices vary so much between the hatcheries that I have found that sell them. Can anyone recommend a hatchery for quality and price to order from? Also, is there a difference in de-beaked and trimmed beaks? Thanks!!
I have a friend who has 5 Welsummer Roosters and 1 Leghorn Rooster she needs to give away. If you live in North Alabama and would be interested in them, please let me know and I will put you in contact with them. Thanks!!
For the Record - I absolutely love our Pullet-Shut Automatic Chicken Door. Works perfectly and was easy to install. Would highly recommend it to anyone considering an automatic door. Money well spent!!
Okay. One of the neatest things I have ever installed anywhere. I will admit, it was terribly easy and fun to install, however, I had to cut out and create a new panel to mount it on cause the original hole in the coop was too small and some of the wall studs were in the way. I think all in...
After 4 years of opening and shutting our chicken coop door by hand, I finally bit the bullet and purchased an automatic chicken door. I did my research and decided to go with the Pullet-Shut ACD from chickendoors.com. I ordered it on Monday (spoke with Mark) and it came in yesterday...
Thank you. That is what I was kind of thinking too. My wife loves the chicks, but they are starting to dusty and stink up the garage so I was going to move them down to my out building, but I was wanting to just go ahead and move them to the permanent coop/pen. I'm like you - the only real...
How old do chicks/pullets have to be before they are moved from inside garage to an outside coop/pen? For the record, we live in town so there is not a major predator problem and I do not have any other chickens in the coop/pen. Should I possibly get a grown rooster to put in the pen with them...
