We ordered 125 male red ranger chicks from Freedom Ranger Hatchery, Inc and received 128 today (June 18, 2020). ALL alive and well. Chicks were shipped a day earlier than expected- so we did a little moving around of the older chicks.
I want to use this thread to document the progress, but...
Hi, I was at our neighbor's today and they asked me about an egg bound chicken. They said she laid around for a day and a half and finally had the egg. But now- she won't get up. I felt externally and couldn't feel another egg. This is my first time dealing with a situation like this. I told...
We just ordered 50 Cornish X online. I am researching feed costs and trying to keep them as low as possible. We are raising and butchering our own to help save our family money (and to k ow where our food is coming from and how it's raised). If we are spending a ridiculous amount in commercial...
I wanted to do a "tutorial" on the new brooder I just made today. I LOVE plastic storage drawer containers! They come in a variety of sizes and are super easy to clean. I use plastic totes for our brooders- but our laundry room is getting awfully full... No more room for more totes. I was at...
Our incubator sits on a filing cabinet in our bedroom. We just got home and I heard chirping... How am I supposed to sleep tonight knowing something might happen?! I could miss it. *sigh*

Everyone has different ways-...
We are Thinking about paying shipping to receive a couple of keets. However- myself and the person with the keets- well, neither of us have shipped birds before. Can anyone tell us how this works, please?
I got some new chicks from the feed store. I was crossing my fingers for some silkies- and MAYBE a polish. Please let me know what you guys think :) if you need closer pics, let me know!
#1- I have two like this, both slightly different colors though.
#2- I really thought this was a black...
We got some hens from a lady. I'm not sure what these ladies are. They're all black. I know they're not Jersey Giants, I have some of them. Any help appreciated. Thanks!
