I've searched and looked and albeit feeling unsuccessful with vent sexingm.. seems as though I have all BOYS?! can someone help me? The Texas a&m I have were actually easy to vent sex and unfortunately we had many many males in that group too. I raised these in november and no eggs.... i am...
Which is your favorite and why? I love my embdens but considering getting a different kind for variety... adding 2 or 3 once the hatching season starts
Is straight run more than likely to assume "male"? Im wanting to place an order for embden geese but don't want to really wait till March. The hatcheries ive found before that show straight run only.. my understanding is embden gender are pretty apparent at birth?
Looking to add a couple female embden geese, who will have them first? I found them on ideal jan 29 however, they're straight run only... anyone know who will have them first?
We got the rainbow female mix from meyer and working on figuring out what we got. 12 were delivered, 3 are buff orphington and 2 are barred rock for sure (what we ordered in addition to the rainbox box) we seem to have at least 5 barred rock in the group, was hoping to not have so many (since I...
So this may be a bit of a slow build, chicks aren't due for another week, we work midnights and still renovating our new house...however I remain excited and motivated.. we went today and got our supplies. $400 later not including new tools we needed im still happy I talked myself out of the...

We are waiting on a closing on a house but once it finalized we will be moving to Oconee county, I was wondering if there is a list or search engine of events for buying chickens... In south florida we've kept buff orphingtons and a few other breeds but due to property issues we had to rehome...
So.. this chicken was killed about an hour before the others (total time was 3 hours lapse between kill to fridge) and this one was killed first (took the longest) is the meat bad? why did it do this?
For actual food? Is it easy enough to clean up? What if we wanted to use it for a thanksgiving day turkey to eat, can we still use it even though we have cleaned chickens with it?
What grain do you feed you meat birds?
For the first month?
For the second month?
Do you give them feed all day and take away at night or do you just lay a scoop of grain (2lbs or whatever you use) in the morning and afternoon and who ever eats, eats?
Do you give feed all day and night?
I have been letting our cornish x 2wk old babies play in a playpen during the day, for exercise, to do "chicken" stuff, exc. they seemingly enjoy it, scratching, dusting themselves in dirt, exc but im finding (even in 65-70* weather) i have one that is panting heavily... The one who is having...
is there a reason why it would do that? I did take a video (waiting for it to upload) it looks perfectly healthy otherwise, nice color, active, walking around but doing this weird thing...
My hubby is convinced we have at least two Roos in our flock, given what I've read I'm not convinced, I know this picture is poor but I'm curious if what you can see are the any that look like possible Roos?
