    Gwinnett county georgia possibly allowing chickens!

    Revisions passed. http://www.gwinnettdailypost.com/news/2015/jul/21/divided-commission-oks-chicken-ownership-in/ . The article fails to list that in excess of 2.99 acres there is no limit, and changes do not affect Agricultural zoned properties where roosters are still allowed. The change...

    Pasturing on bermuda

    Any of you ever pastured chickens on bermuda? Not sure if that is a good grass for them or not. Certainly attracts a lot of grasshoppers, etc. Any input will be appreciated.

    Setting Leghorn

    Mine won't budge and isn't laying any more. Just great. You buy leghorns for layers and they want to go broody. LOL Oh well, will head over to a buddy's tomorrow to rip off some fertile eggs to stick under her along with the three Buff Orpingtons and one Buff Orpington/Black Australorp...

    Laying vs Moving

    UPDATE Two days after the previous post I went over to the farm with a bag of frozen nuggets and held them up for the chickens to see. I told them "eggs or nuggets, your choice". The next day they laid 18 and we've gotten between 28 and 32 everyday since. Might want to try that sometime...

    Reduce feed cost ideas

    I've tried planting stuff in chicken runs for years with no success. Just not enough space to keep them from scratching it all up. Best thing I've found to cut feed costs is ground up left-over biscuits from local restaurants!

    Feeding Schedule

    Do you guys keep your birds on a strict feeding regiment---same time every day. A buddy and I are keeping an egg laying flock and he was aggravating me today about keeping the birds on a strict schedule. He's raised dogs before and that's how he did with them. I've raised chickens for 35...

    Behavior Issues - Feather Picking and Egg Breaking

    I've got a mixed flock of brown and white egg layers. About 90% of the brown eggs will be cracked on the large end almost like they were dropped. Thinking that might be the issue, I added even more straw to the nests and actually watched one hen lay a brown egg this afternoon. As soon as...

    I got me some Fulvous Tree Ducks

    Who cares if they are crosses? Neat birds. Guarantee if one those showed up in my beaver swamp and I could splash him, his butt would go on the wall!

    Eastern Turkeys in Georgia

    Sarah, Didn't you used to be, or maybe still are, on the GON Board? Just wondering. My understanding is you can have wild eatern turkeys in Georgia, some hatcheries even sell eastern poults. I imagine it's like bobwhite, call DNR in Social Circle and ask them. Speak to our old friend...
