    What breed is this barred baby?

    Nowhere can I find a pic of a bright yellow chick with black "chipmunk" striping, which is turning to black & white barring. Legs are orange, no feathering, 3 toes. No comb growth yet. It's a two-week-old "adopt me" from Meyer Hatchery. TIA!

    Brooding Outside in the Heat

    I need to move my 2 week old chicks to a small, secure, shaded, well-ventilated outside coop with perches. Our highs are in the mid to upper 90sF ( heat index can get as high as 110F with humidity) and lows around 80F. Do I need to put the heating pad cave in there, even if it's off? What...

    Broody BO on peewee eggs?!

    I have a 20 week old BO who has been laying peewees (her first eggs) for about 2 weeks now - at least, I think it's her because yesterday she went broody! Today I checked and there are at least 5 eggs under her, all peewees, including a green one from my Ameracauna pullet who only started laying...

    Fermenting feed: How big are holes in bucket??

    I don't have time to read all of the FF thread right now (I've read the first 30 or so pages), plus the other threads, plus a search isn't telling me what I need to know, LOL. So forgive, please, if asked & answered. 1. Using the double-5 gal. bucket method, how big are the holes in the top...

    Fermented feed in horizontal PVC pipe feeder?

    My meatie babies are arriving next week so I've got a bit of time to figure this out. It's just a simple question, though: If I pour fermented feed down a horizontal PVC pipe feeder will it spread across the width of the feeder? My feeder would be in a "U" shape, like this...

    NEVER MIND! Nipples in pipe fed by water hose - How to?

    Hi, all. I've seen a pic of this kind of setup at Aquamist, but I want to build it myself. Their kit is expensive! To describe it further, I want a water hose connected to a length of pvc or cpvc pipe. The pipe is capped on the other end, and has nipples along it. The apparatus will be hung...

    Hi from Southwest Tennessee

    Hi, Everybody! We moved home to my Dad's pecan farm in SW Tennessee in April of last year. I had to leave my flock in Washington state, we didn't have any way to transport the girls and Edwin. I had Buff Orps, Barred Rocks (Edwin and one hen), and Rhode Island Reds. I miss them, especially...
