    Ideal OEGB

    They don't vax for all which I've been told, only some breeds, and most aren't vaccinated, I even asked directly, and they said they won't vaccinate.. I mainly do for Mareks, and preferably Coxy preventative. Any Vax available really.

    Ideal OEGB

    I love cackle, but I dislike they don't vaccinate, idk where to buy vaccines nor do I know how to do it myself. But later if I learn I'm going to purchase Golden Phoenix, White Phoenix, and Cubalaya, I might order some Brown Red from them, but I think I might buy Purely Poultry BR because I have...

    American Game and Red Jungle Fowl

    I personally prefer Asiatic and game breeds over most. Especially Brahma and Sumatra under Asiatic breeds.

    Dubbing brahma rooster

    They don't perceive pain the same as we do, the most they would get is stressed and uncomfortable unless you forcefully caused pain. Which is probably how his dad survived after being attacked and got his head caught up in a fence. The bigger worry is infection unless it's cared for correctly...

    Dubbing brahma rooster

    I'll get a new photo! but I don't want to pick him up again until this evening or when I put more oil on. His comb is yellow in spots and raw. I just don't want it ending up like his dad's rose comb which had flattened down within one winter from injuries and frostbite and stayed purple all summer.

    Dubbing brahma rooster

    Has anyone here ever dubbed a rooster with a pea comb? The man I'm considering doing this at home, the frostbite isn't bugging him but the cold is drying it out and cracking it. I'd honestly be ok doing this if he had a single comb but a little bit more nervous or being a pea comb. He's a big...

    When to start heaters and heat lamps??

    Don't. Just insulate the coop, heaters and lamps are terrible in coops, they do not help make them cold hardy, they are at risk of fire, and the lamps a mess up production making them think it warmer so its better time to lay when in the cold it's a bit unnatural to force it especially because...
