    Continuing this job search and feeling pretty dang defeated about it...

    They tout college as a way to get ahead but what they leave out is it really depends on what degree field you choose. Someone with a Bachelor's degree in Engineering is far better off then someone with a Bachelor's in History or English. With a specialty field like Agriculture your only option...

    I have poultry fever!

    It's an 8 hour drive but it's not over any state lines. It's from one corner of NY state to the other. We have already moved our big animals (goats, sheep, pigs) so comparatively moving a couple chickens should be a piece of cake. Our older layers are going to a farmer friend of ours so we won't...

    I have poultry fever!

    Last year I didn't get meat ducks because we thought we would be moving before they would be ready to process. Well its long past the time I wanted to move by and I'm still here, so I'm kicking myself for not getting ducks last year. Now it's that time of year again. I have received chick...

    Does aggressive chick = aggressive adult

    I hatched out a small batch of chicks that were a cross of black australorps and golden hybrid layers. Only two of the eggs hatched and they were both roosters. One was a white color and the other a mix of black and red. The light colored chick was always beating up on the other chick even at...

    Hen with spurs?

    I use to have a couple roosters in with my layers, but we became concerned with the town finding out we had chickens (because they are not "technically" allowed) so our roos became dinner. Since then our one remaining hybrid layer (a golden comet, the rest are australorp or australorp mixes) has...

    Crows Friend or Foe?

    I purposely feed my damaged and overly dirty eggs to the local murder of crows. The crows in return chase off hawks and tend to dive bomb the fox if it comes around what they seem to deem their territory. Now when I went to research if other chicken keepers utilized their local crows in this...

    Duel Roos

    Quote: I would say in the next couple weeks. I had one roo that was horrible! He picked fights with the the other bird and ended up killing one of my smaller chicks and would attack me. I knew at about 8 weeks I think that he was going in the soup pot ahead of schedule, but he showed signs of...

    Quote: Just grab her purse:) Honestly I have no idea what folks are charging. Some charge next to nothing to make sure they go home with nothing they brought and some cahrge top dollar as their stock is top notch:) OK sounds like an idea

    Duel Roos

    I had 6 roos and 18 hens at one point, but only for short while once they were big enough they became dinner. One roo normally takes over as alpha. I would keep the friendlier one if you have to get rid of one. I find my hens fought a lot less when I had at least one roo. I would have liked to...

    Picked Up One Of These At The Feed Store This Week

    That is just odd looking. I'd say it kind of looks like a silkie, but it's skin isn't blue.

    Does anyone have an idea of approximately how much people will be charging for chicken and/or chick? I didn't buy any birds last year so I can't remember how much everyone is charging. My aunt wants us to buy her some birds but I need to know how much money to get from her. Thanks.
