Ok, I've had poultry and waterfowl my whole life, but this one has me stumped, I've never had a problem like this. An extended family member hatched about 50 Black Copper Marans, and gave me half. Hers are fine, but mine have been dying at the rate of about 4 a week, I only have 5 left. They...
So I just sold a bunch of my extra roosters on Craigslist. They guy was really nice, and I had assumed he was going to eat them. After all, why would you pay $ for a bunch of roosters if you're not? When I asked though, he said he didn't usually eat them. So I guess I'm just wondering, do any...

Hi All,
I've been trying for awhile to get a good breeding flock of Welsummers going, but I've been having hard time. I only have one male left, thanks to a racoon. He's only about 4.5 months old, but something seems off in his body type. Like his head is too small or something. I was...
Hey all, I've been on here awhile but haven't posted much. How many posts do I need before I can add pictures? My internet is really slow and I can't seem to find the page with the new member rules/instructions.
Hope this was the right place to post this.
Thanks in advance!
I've been wondering if I can create some Welbars using a cuckoo maran instead of a barred rock. I realize there is a difference in theappearance of the barring, but will the cross still produce similar results (I guess techinically it wouldn't be a Welbar...)? I'm just wondering because I have...
My EE pullet has been pooping pure blood but is otherwise healthy and gorgeous and very active. I'm thinking she ate some glass or something else sharp (there was an old homestead here 70+ yrs ago). I'm afraid the damage has been done and she may go quickly, but was wondering if any of you...
I just wanted to say hello! I'm a long time poultry owner (ducks when I was a kid, chickens as an adult) and have been reading this forum for awhile and finally decided to join. Right now I have EE's, a few other LF breeds, and a long wish list!
I'm married with two girls, and live in Virginia.
