    Hens?? 11 New pics

    I have new pics of the crew. I think I agree that they will be all hens. The one has a split beak? Not sure what else to call it. Any advice? She's made it this far, so I think she's okay with it. Could it have happened today? I just never noticed it before, but they always hid. It's...

    HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!

    I picked up my baby duckling's yesterday. ( I was originally getting just muscovey, but I had to add three Rouen's as some of the muscovey's died). Happy mother's day everyone! What's the best think you got?

    When to put chickens together?

    I have 3 EO's (Euskal Oiloased) that are about 4 months old (born the end of Jan) and 5 EE's that are about 6 weeks old. While they have been living in the same room together, the EE's are kept in a separate 'pen' which is surrounded by chicken wire. So the EO's have visible sight of the EE's...

    Just wondering if these three are roos

    I received 5 EE's and they are now about 6-7 weeks. Just wondering if these three are roos. They have thicker legs than the smaller ones and have different tail feathers. i know the pics aren't the best, but hopefully someone can help me. Or, should I wait a few more weeks before deciding...

    Head shaking on new Roo???

    Hi there, I know this has been addressed, but I can't find the specific post. I just picked up a trio of Buff Brahma last sunday and the Roo seems to be shaking his head a bit. There was something in the post about ear mites, could this be it? Or, something else? Should I just keep my eye on...

    Friendly chickens??

    I've always had chicks from day olds and most of them became very friendly because I would handle them from day one. I just got 3 EO's that were born Jan 28, 5 EE's that are 3.5 weeks old and 3 year old Brahmas. Now, I knew the Brahmas weren't super friendly, not aggressive, just won't...

    Not happy with the farm supply store

    Well, I finally have the barn all set up for the chickens this am. But, I am so mad! I had called the feed store on Tues and again on Fri to set up what I wanted. Feeders, waterers, poultry fencing and feed. Now, personally, I do not like the pellets and wanted grain type feed. I expressley...

    Culling on chick starter feed???

    Just a question, but I've always been told, by the farm supply house and the hatchery people, that the birds have to be off chick starter and medicated feed for a bit before culling. Since I'd like some cornish hens when I do get some meat birds, I want to know how to get around this. Any ideas??

    homemade feed recipes??

    I am just wondering if anyone has any recipes for homemade food for chickens or ducks? Organic seems to be a little harder to get up here and I might be able to get the separate ingredients, but I need amounts to get. Anyone have any ideas??

    Hey there from Ontario, Canada

    Hi everyone. While not totally new to chickens, I'm just foraying into the unchartered territory (for me) if specific chicken breeds. I found this site while looking for chicken tractor designs that I could alter for my personal situation. Some great designs by the way. I will be looking for...
