    Eggs making us sick?

    Anyone gotten sick from their eggs?

    We've had chickens for going on 5 years now. This past July, they started making me sick. About 3 or 4 hours after eating them, I'd throw up. My husband was able to eat them just fine. They are very healthy birds - fed a high quality Non GMO feed from a local feed mill, along with sprouted...

    Does anybody raise meat chickens on Fodder? I am going to raise Dark Cornish (not Cornish X). I currently raise egg layers and am going to try meat chickens this year. They will be free ranged but I'd like to supplement with fodder instead of commercial feed. I realize I'd need to include...

    Free ranging fowl

    Ok, I thought that might be the case with Quail and , thanks for confirming that. That's why I asked what other fowl people had free ranging - I'd like to hear what people have been successful with.

    Free ranging fowl

    I wish there was a generic category for 'Other BackYard Poultry', but I guess I'll post this in the Quail section since it seems to be the most popular. Hope others see this :) Excluding chickens, what kind of meat poultry do you all free range? We’re planning for our someday mini-farm of...

    Quail breed - How loud are the Roos?

    Hello all, I have chickens and have been concidering getting into raising Quails - for eggs and meat. However, I'm worried about the noise. Normal little sounds are just fine of course, but I'm worried about the Roo's crowing. Is it as loud as a chicken Roo? Is it triggered the same way -...

    Chicken proof pipe insulation?

    My husband has kindly run the water line out to the coop area. I LOVE it – I have 2 spigots outside, one inside and soon a sink to make cleaning feeders/waterers easier. He also hooked up it up to an automatic nipple watering system – 3 nips inside and 3 nips outside. We don’t have harsh winters...
