    Wynadotte question.

    I had the same problem, all the hens I came across were really washed out and not attractive at all. I got it in my head to get him some blue laced hens, blue cochin hens, and blue andalusian hens. Does anyone know what that outcome would be? I thought it would be cool to have a blr cochin, lol.

    Can layer feed hurt 12 week old Orpingtons?

    What will it do to them? I have always fed mine layer at 12 weeks. They are all mixed in with the older gals at that point and will get to it anyway? I have never had a problem with any of my hens.

    Pyrenees issues need advice

    Quote: Pam, I have 2 male border collies that are neutered. They mark the fenceline. We have coyotes in our back field and in the 8 years that we have been here have never had a problem with them. Please don't let that be the deciding factor in not neutering your dog. It is much healthier for...

    Chickens and ducks together and the risks?

    I just posted a thread on here yesterday. I have 2 pekings, and about 30 hens. The pekings are about a year now and have all of a sudden started mounting my hens and really hurting them. They hold them down, and rip at their head. My chickens look terrible and are scared. I am currently looking...

    Confused ducks?

    Well I thought she was. I took them from my sister because she had 4, 3 males and 1 female so I took 1 male and the female because she was taking the brunt from the 3 males. She looked terrible. She is smaller then the male, and more feminin looking then him. He is a lot thicker then she is and...

    New pics from today! Should I buy Star!

    She is very cute. Many horses will rear in the pasture with others. I also owned a horse tha would come up trying to load on a ramp load trailer, but was 100% fine on a step up. Have her eyes checked. She may have vision issues. I would offer him 150.00 cash and say take it or leave it. She is...

    Rats! If they eat poison and the hens eat them..

    I would try a non-poisonous method. We used something a few years ago, I can't remember what it was but the rats left dropping in the girls yard and a few of them ate the droppings and died. Just be careful with what you use. Learn from our mistakes.

    Sex these Easter Eggers... Round 2!

    Quite the variance of answers. I have been raising americauna's "ee" for 7 years now and I can't say the the brown coloring on the wing has ever been evidence of the chick being a rooster. Kind of made me giggle a bit. I would say that chick b is probably a roo because of his stance. And I...
