    What is a good price for a 7 week old Lavender Orpington Cockerel?

    I ended up getting two of these guys, and only need one. What is a good asking price for them? The hatchery I bought them from sells them at $32.55 for a day old chick. I was thinking between $40 - $50, but wasn't sure if that is too high.

    What do you use for a breeding pen?

    What do you guys use for a breeding pen? And about how big should they be for two or three birds? I'm planning to raise Cayuga Ducks and Lf. Chickens.

    Substitute for Chick Grit?

    Can anyone suggest a good substitute for chick grit? I'm currently buying it from TSC for $5 a bag and they go through it pretty quickly (I have around 50 chicks), so I'm looking for a more cost effective alternative. Thanks!

    Is it ok to feed shells from store bought Eggs?

    I've read so many posts on here and other websites, where people said they feed Egg Shells and/or Hard Boiled Eggs to their chicks, so I'd like to give it a try. Unfortunately none of my girls are laying yet, so all I have are store bought eggs. Is it ok to feed them? Or are the shells treated...
