    Big breasted bird? What to pick?

    Thanks! That is what I thought but then I went reading and saw comments about big legs. That got me confused.

    Big breasted bird? What to pick?

    We are white meat people, not dark meat people. What would you recommend?

    What is my rooster???

    Thanks so much! He is a handsome man. Quite the comical guy and talks with the neighborhood roo's. We call him Elvis b/c his comb flips to one side. I won't part with him for nothing and will be sad when he is gone. He definitely has spunk!

    What is my rooster???

    So we got him from a friend, of a friend, of a friend but were assured he had a good home. I would believe it. He is great with the ladies but... thinks that humans are going to abduct him for human experiments. He will run from us! I have touched him half a dozen times since we got him in...

    8 1/2 mo old black sex link pullet has lump...

    Well, I just wanted to say thank you for the assistance. It must be her crop because today it was little. Must just be she is so freaking skinny that it shows a lot more than the others. She is the little lady we call Number 1 (because that is the ankle tag I gave her being she is so little).

    Sigh. Foxes. How to get them to stay away?

    Dawn - you did not ramble, I enjoyed the read. Thank you! I think the first one getting the jolt will be one of the boys, both of who have yet to figure out that Mom really does know what she is talking about. I don't know how many things they have touched that I warned them were hot. They just...

    8 1/2 mo old black sex link pullet has lump...

    Well, I guess I thought the crop was a bit farther down than that. I will keep an eye on her. Being she is so thin, that could easily be why it is showing so much. She has muscle tone though! Put up a fight when I caught her at first. Thanks a bunch!

    My Friends In The Feed Barrel !

    What about one of those plug-in sonic things? We have one up stairs (it is unfinished) and that took care of the mouse problem up there. It does not seem to bother anything else.

    8 1/2 mo old black sex link pullet has lump...

    I have one lady that has always been really small compared to the others but she is towards the top of the pecking order and gets more than her fair share of food. However, she never really developed out like the others. She is still a lot smaller and has almost no meat on her breast. I noticed...

    Sigh. Foxes. How to get them to stay away?

    Well, here is the coop. I call it the chicken condo. The run extends out from where the chicken door & ramp are for a good ways. It is totally enclosed and human height. The birds are able to get under the coop as well to shelter from the hot summer air (if we ever see that again). The underside...

    Sigh. Foxes. How to get them to stay away?

    ...do I do now?! Help! Fox!" So I flew in for my trusty 20 gauge to fire off a round. The fiance asks what I am doing and I told him there was a d**n fox down there. So he runs out the back door while I grab my shot gun and shells and yells at the fox to get lost. Yeah, that is gonna work...

    I want more chickens but what to do with all those eggs?!

    We live in a small town and one of the local grocery stores wants our excess. You might try that?

    I should take out the eggs right?

    Since they just started laying, they aren't likely to go broody for awhile. Tell that to my broody lady! The first egg was not even a month ago and she has been semi-broody for over a week!

    The egg song REDEFINED! ;)

    Well, apparently the egg song has been redefined by my ladies. I have one that sings the song from the moment the first egg of the day is laid until I go collect. Then if more eggs are laid, she will start singing again until I go collect the eggs.

    Chicken anatomy, is there just one hole?

    I posted this a while back about how a chicken lays their eggs. It is quite an interesting page and is very helpful in understanding the "process" https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=298698

    My girls have done that one leg, one wing stretch from day one and still do it. They were born last July.

    Help! My Silkie Rooster is attacking me!

    A friend said one of her husbands roosters will target her when she walks out the back door and come running to attack no matter where he was at. She takes a broom with her to sweep him away. She hates that poor rooster!
