    Jasper, GA?

    I am trying to coordinate shipping some birds from there and was wondering if there was anyone in the area that might be able to help with that.

    broken wing

    I will try to post photos later, but here is the situation: I have a 5-6 week old chick that broke her wing. When I found her, she was barely responsive and shivvering, so I held her against me all morning to warm her up. Her one wing was broken... mangled. I had had them in a dog or rabbit...

    Fancy Feathers 4-H Poultry show in New Braunfels coming up...?

    Does anyone have a link to information on that? I have looked and all that keeps coming up is 2008 and 2009 show information.

    Will a broodie cull dud eggs?

    My son told me there was an egg outside the nest cracked open today. I highly doubt it "rolled out" or that she "accidentally kicked it out" as it is fairly deep (about 9-10") with plenty of hay making it bowl-like inside. She has been a stalwart mama and I have only picked her off the nest...

    so sad....

    This photo was included in an email titled "When it's okay to swear." Most of the photos were of weird auto accidents, etc...but this one is just sad. There was also one of a horse through a windshield. The auto mishaps are mildly amusing, but the animal ones I think are just sick for anyone...

    marking chicks?

    I am hatching out some Ameraucana and some Araucana chicks within a few days of each other soon. Of course, I can tell the difference between the two of them, but I would like to mark the chicks as they hatch as to which ones came from the nicer colored eggs. Are there any suggestions on how...

    I ran over my black copper pullet with the tractor...

    ...twice. Thank goodness it was the tractor-coop and not the Masey Ferguson. The poor thing just couldn't grasp the concept of "when the wall moves towards you, you have to walk the opposide direction". The first time, the coop rolled right over her and she laid in the lawn confused. I...

    grrr... broody at 6-7 months old?!?

    I have a couple cuckoo Marans hens that may be 6-7 months old. They have been laying about a month and now one is broody. I didn't know Marans were particularly broody or that one would go broody so young. Any ways to break up a broodie? (sigh) I guess the easist way is to order...

    Balut?

    Is anyone here familiar with balut? I asked a coworker and she said that the local market does sell it. I guess I had misunderstood and thought that it was a chicken egg, but she said that it was duck eggs only. Has anyone made balut? Aren't there different "stages"? Is it generally 2-3...

    dog food versus cat food

    I had always heard that dogs should not eat cat food, and I had always had fits trying to keep the dogs out of the cat food. But, I had never heard why. Cat food: Crude Protein (Min.) 31.0% Crude Fat (Min.) 10.0% Crude Fiber (Max.) 4.0% Moisture (Max.) 10.0% Ash (Max.) 6.5% Ingredients...

    egg baskets

    I see many egg baskets for sale like this: But, I would like to find one rounded like this: This one is listed as a "novelty" and is only 3in x 3 in. Why are the flat sided ones easier to find than the rounded ones? Are the flat ones better somehow? I just like the look of the rounded ones.

    When is the best time to hatch chicks from a laying hen?

    Does it matter the age of the hen when is best to incubate eggs? Is a younger hen more likely to have better clutches hatch out than older ones? Is there a minimum age a hen should be before her eggs are incubated? I have a young pullet who started out early, like 5 month inthe middle of...

    crowing question

    I have a one year old cuckoo marans e-gg. He is a nice looking, big e-gg and I have four nice cuckoo marans hens who are laying nice dark roosters and I had hoped to sell fertile roosters from them soon. Today, the e-gg started having trouble crowing. He gets the "cock-a-doo" out and then his...

    next question tonight... nesting material...

    What do you use for nest material? I have used sand, hay, straw, pine shavings, sawdust, and most recently pine pellets. The hens seemed to like the hay as they would pick at it while they sat but it didn't seem to stay put at the bottom very well for padding. The sand and sawdust seemed to...

    How many here sell their eggs for eating?

    What types of eggs do you sell and how much do you charge? I was lamenting the whole "cage free" "free range" versus "pasture raised" argument. Mine, so far, are kept 4 each in 4x8ft tractors to protect from predators and I will be putting the dadgum leghorns and sexlinks (12 of them) down at...
