I should probably start a new thread instead of replying to an old one. Not sure if this is the best category but here goes...

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...
Hello. 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...
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...
Hi All -
I have a friend who had 5 of them dumped at her place and she doesn't want to keep them. She's looking to home them quickly. She doesn't know what gender they are or have useful information - just that they are 'ordinary peacocks'. I'm known as a chicken lady among my friends so they...
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.
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...
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 -...
Wow, you have quite the fancy collection! I've been considering getting an Olive Egger. I need to complete my egg color palate J My girls are laying now and I get a green, blue, an almost pink, light brown and medium brown. I’d like to add a little variety so I’ve been contemplating getting a...
Hello,
I have a small flock of spoiled chickens – 5 hens and a Roo. This is probably pretty silly but…. I’d like to get a few more hens to round out my egg colors J We get a green, blue, and a few shades of light/med brown. I’ve decided that I need an Olive Egger for the dark olive eggs, a...
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...
