So I wouldnt notice if I was eating a fertile egg?
Im assuming my cochin bantam hen would be the most likely to go broody from all that Ive read about her.
I really dont want baby chicks all the time is why... I cant really find anything much on how often they mate and results in babies anyway so I dont have any clue. The roosters are all accidental they were supposed to be pullets and 100% so... ha ha ha but we love them all the same and they are...
I have a question on this topic. I have two bantam size roosters (and one standard but he has a home he is going to soon) My yard is larger for urban areas and a large part is fenced off for the chickens. Could I get away with letting the two bantam roosters just freely roam the yard (its all...
Our neighbor came over the other day to simply let us know we have a flock of chickens on the roof. Such a weird thing to have to come tell your neighbors about it was really so funny.
So now that my entire flock of birds can fly onto our roof how do I go about cutting wings so they can't? I...
He is such a little guy I think it's the small man syndrome so he is loud and lets the world around him know he is here and in charge as often as possible!

We have an accidental rooster (well three) and we would LOVE to keep them (one has a new home though soon) however our little OEG Bantam rooster crows non-stop. I think he crows more than he does eat, if that says anything to the amount of crowing to you. Is this just because it is a new found...
Nature Lawn Mowers is how I see them currently since they don't give us eggs yet but not cutting the grass so often is great!!

Why I Dont Pay for Pest Control to come spray any longer

Alarm Clocks since their run is right out side my bedroom window...
This is about 6 weeks o so old...I cant keep track of the three mixes of ages anymore it seems. Was supposed to be a pullet but I am now doubting it :-/ already have three roosters cant keep another sadly. This is Poof, and s/he is bigger than the other same age EE comb way more red but not...
She looks like the five golden comets I have when they were babies. They were sold to me as BO as well and are very much so NOT! lol
The comets are sweet to us and not skidish at all so that is a plus, and we didnt handle that batch as often as we would have liked, we werent sure we would be...
