I'm having a very hard time telling if I have any hens in this bunch of 5 chicks I hatched on Nov 9th. They are 2 months and 1 week old. Any ideas are welcomed.
Thank you!
I have a problem I was wondering if anyone could help. I purchased a Brinsea Octagon 20 Eco Incubator to hatch some small batches of chicks on my homestead. The very 1st time I used it (and my 1st time hatching in general) I thought I had done everything right filling with water, temp at 100.5...
I have a flock of 14 mixed ages and breeds. I'm looking to control their feed a bit more as times are hard and feed prices are only going up. I'd like to make a 50lb bag last a month which equals to a little less then 2 pounds of feed a day. Is this unreasonable? They also free range and are fed...
Ok, I was sold these two hens from a farmer. Said they were Rhode Island whites crossed with something (I think... it was awhile ago) Anyway, they both have yellow legs with some feathers?? Now Im not aware of any white chickens with feathered legs, but Im new. Any thoughts?
Im going to be looking at 2 breeds, the Rhode Island White or the Maran, at a farmers home this weekend. Wondering which would work best for our needs. We are looking for egg laying and temperament.
Thank you!!
