I am looking for some Ameraucana or Maran breeders, farms, or organic farms to tour on our trip from Oklahoma to Virginia, in May. I am just getting back into chickens after several years, any tips or links would be greatly appreciated.
I have a ten week old lab puppy and about to have some new chicks. How do I introduce him to the new chicks without wanting to eat them? He will be a outside dog and I want to free range the chicks when they grow up
I am about to order chicks, and thought a few ducks might be fun we have a pond that they can live out their lives in. Can the chicks and ducks be in the brooder together? I have never had ducks before and thought why not. Thanks for any info!!!!
Does anyone know about the Ameracunas from Country Hatchery? I figured they are probably crossed with something but I want colored eggs and the docilness of the breed. Thanks for any information you can share!!!!
I am selling my flock because we are trying to sell our house and we have had negative response about the chickens being here. I have 4 white Cochin hens, 1 Black Splash cochin hen, 1 Quail D'Anver Hen, and 1 Black Splash Cochin Roo. I purchased them at Tractor Supply in March 2012 and raised...
I got this bantam chick along with my bantam cochin chicks and I don't know what she is. She is friendly, and very pretty with her gold color and puffy cheeks. can you help me figure out what she is? I have seen something like her before but I can't find it now on internet. THANK YOU...
The weather has been beautiful during the day and my 7 bantam chicks are going on 4-5 weeks old. I have decided its time to put them outside at least in the day time in the coop. I bought one of those coops from Tractor Supply, and I am concerned about the small wire floor for the chicks. Should...
I am trying to think of something else that I can scatter about for the chickens to scratch at as they free range instead of scratch. They get treats every evening when it's time to get locked up and it is getting to warm to feed scratch because of the corn. Anyone have any ideas for me?
After multiple predators sightings (coyote and possible bobcat) my husband has declaered that the chickens can no longer be let out and need to stay in the coop. They are used to being out everyday, I think it makes them happy chickens and I like to see them running around the place. What are...
I am wanting to learn how to process chickens for my family. Anyone in the Guthrie, Piedmont/ Edmond area that would be willing to teach me? Or can direct me in the right direction.
I am also looking at getting some broiler but I want egg producers also, can you recommend a good dual breed...
I am looking for a new rooster, something killed mine. I am wanting something bigger but friendly and docile because I have young kids. I have two hens that are mutts and kinda bullies. I am wanting to raise him from a chick and maybe two hens . I want the breed to have personality and looks...
I have 15 Australop hen chicks for free! They were purchased and sexed from Country Hatchery in Wewoka, OK and come with a bag of feed and carrier. They are approximately 3-4 weeks old, I have kept them in my laundry room up till now and I can't handle them in my house anymore, the coop has not...
My henstarted crowing yesterday, the same day that my rooster (RIP Henry) disappeared. She is now acting aggressive towards my other hen that I found sitting on two eggs underneath a tree. A few weeks ago my neighbors didn't collect the eggs like they said they would so we came home to four eggs...
Tonight something, most likely a coyote got my loving Henry. He was a Black Cochin and was AWESOME with my kids, he was like a dog, I could holler "chick, chick, chick" and he would come waddling (he was fat) as fast as he could. I am wanting another awesome, pretty rooster, I would like him to...
My husband surprised me with 15 chicks that are now about 1 1/2 weeks old. They have been living in my laundry room in a big rubbermaid tote, with food, water, and a heat lamp. I don't want them in my house anymore they are smelly. I have a metal storage shed, it doesn't have electricity and a...
