    Converting The Flock To Free Range

    Well I keep finding out things that I have, apparently, done wrong. I have 24 chickens or so. 19 of them are about 12 weeks old. The 5 older chicks have been roaming around and doing the free range thing pretty well but I am running into a problem with the large group of youngsters. After...

    What is a good age to process RIR Cockerels?

    I have around 10 cockerels that I bought from McMurray (Production Reds) about 8 weeks ago. I am reading that I should be processing them by now (of course those articles are on meat birds that, I assume, grow much faster). They seem too small t process yet... Does anyone with Production...

    Baby Pygmy Goats - Pics

    My pygmy goat Nannie had a baby pygmy goat this morning. She has a history of having more than one but we only have one so far. We bought her in January and this is my first dealings with goats... period. So... is it pretty much over or do goats tend to have a space of time between one birth...

    What's The Process

    I have never processed a chicken myself. I clicked on the banner of one of the fine BYC sponsors and they have a pretty good deal going on surplus birds. Seeing as I am woefully inexperienced I figure I am pushing my luck even buying 50 of them ($35 for 50) but that is the smallest amount in...

    Rooster Choice Advice

    Alright... I guess i am starting to learn something. I have a small flock of (1) RIR hen, (2) ISA Brown hens (possibly her daughters) & (1) Rhode Island White Roo. Since Roo is mean as the devil and tries to bludgeon us to death every time he gets within eyeshot of us I was looking forward to...

    Howdy From Arkansas

    I live in Rison Arkansas and I currently have 5 hens and a roo. Well... I think that is the count. I have 2 that we incubated ourselves and one of them is really starting to make me doubt my sexing call. We might have 2 roos & 4 hens. I am pretty much a green horn at all of this but I am...
