I ordered 50 male cornish x broilers and 25 misc roosters (not broilers) from mt healthy due to ship Sept 30th. Has anyone ordered broilers this year from mt healthy with or without the 25 extra roosters? How did the birds do? Mortality rate? Dressed out weight? I normally get my broiler...

Today I noticed one of my white bresse looking not so good. This afternoon she was dead. We just buried her. There's a bit of hunching, ruffled feathers, weight loss, loss of appetite *even the muscovies*. It's been very wet with the snow melt off. The chicken vet said it sounds like an upper...

Roosters happen even if one buys pullets. Roosters are awesome, I think. Unfortunately my neighbors, and most people in general don't enjoy the sound of rooster crows, much less a crowing contest. I fell in love with ayam cemani chickens. I live in an urban area, which one would equate to...

I tried uploading picts on both my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 & Samsung Galaxy s5 On sprint and on WiFi It says embedding image, then goes back to my post, sometimes it does let me upload an image url, but most times it does not. Sometimes I can load up 5 pictures. Sometimes only one or 2, but...

I'm so nervous! I have always gotten my chicks & chickens locally, but I couldn't find any white bresse available locally and I just had to have them along with ayam cemani. My 8 bresse are in transit and gaurenteed to arrive within 7 more hours according to usps. Instead of 12, only 8 are...

Hi, I have had my chickens for 3.5 weeks and they were 3-4 weeks old when I got them. They have been on 26% protein gamebird feed by manna pro and they are destined for freezer camp. 20 min ago I noticed one wasn't able to stand on its feet. I have since brought her inside and she's in my...

Hi! I got in 150' of the good 1/2" galvanized fencing to put up an enclosed run for my chickens starting this weekend. There's been a live trap next door at the abandoned property and we catch raccoon, squirrels, and recently a skunk. I have seen mice scurrying around also and brazen...

I have 6 little chicks that are ayam cemani x paint orpington cross. Some are more cemani leaning in appearance than their orpington fathers. And this is one of the hens that are the mothers of my chicks. I am getting svart honas and other pure breed ayam cemani to add onto this project...

Tomorrow we're going to pick up more new chicks my friend hatched over the last week of the same mommie ayam cemani hens. 2 of the new chicks are pure ayam cemani, the others, it's suspected that the paint orpington roosters are the chicks papas. I need to get chicken identifying legbands, to...

Hi! I have these teensy weensie chicks that my friend gave me of her recent hatch from her cemani hens. It seems there was an orpington in the henhouse! I have no experience with day old chicks yet! My friend and I have svart honas chicks otw soon, and they aren't inexpensive. So, since...

I make a lot of goodies with eggs, and I have been making custard based ice cream for a while now and that leaves me with a lot of egg whites. I also have celiac disease, so learning how to bake again has been challenging! I made a fantastic gluten-free angel food cake last night. It took no...

So I went and got these little chicks yesterday, and am trying to sex them and figure out what breeds they are. I'm sure they are barred rock and silver laced Wyandotte. Idk the light ones. How can I tell which are girls so I can rehome the girls with my friends who want egg laying chicks. The...

Hey all. I have my laying flock already. And have been wanting meat chickens for me & my family to have in the freezer this winter. I ordered a 1/2 of an organic grass fed angus cow locally, and it's hanging until it's cooled enough to butcher. Which I could also use advice on. are the...

Josephine was sold as an easter egger / ameracuna. She lays brown eggs, she has almost no comb and beautiful colored feathers and markings. What on earth is she? She has no tufts or comb like my other chickens.

My ladies are all coming into lay, easter eggers and ameracunas, and one polish and one rose comb leghorn. Lenny is a semi-quieted rooster that is salmon favorelle x wellsummer x light brahma and has been getting it on well with my 9 lady chickens. I was wanting to try to hatch them out...

Jeanette isn't acting her normal self, and hasn't layed an egg in about 10 days. Today we caught her and her vent looks like this.

and she is a bit more puffy/red the last 2 days and doing what I refer to as egg song.. but no egg & my 1 year old egg layer stopped laying after laying eggs that the yolks looked like this.

Hi all! I have found BYC so very helpful! Unfortunately my first post was about my easter egger Matilda passing away yesterday, and I'm currently treating the rest of my flock of 8 remaining chickens. 2 ameracunas, 5 easter eggers, and 1 spash polish. Daisy is my favorite chicken, she's so...
