    Need help / references in regards to chicken processing

    Hello all! I'm currently in Utah, and haven't had much time to read through all the posts here, so I apologize in advance if this has already been asked. Does anyone have the name / number / website of someone in northern Utah that does chicken processing? I need to process my chickens...

    Dead bird in coop, what should I do?

    It's been a while since I posted, but I had a shock when I got home tonight-- One of the two birds I got from my neighbor 2 months ago was dead on the floor of my coop. Both birds are under a year old but have both been laying. I've removed the bird and bagged it, but now I want to know what...

    Mixing old and new

    Hi all, I'm kinda stuck on the idea of integrating a lone hatch with the rest of my flock. I have 4 EE's that are about 8 months old now, and they're fine and dandy living outside in my coop and run. I hatched a baby Australorp about 2 months ago (2 months and 2 weeks). I no longer have...

    First hatch (questions) stuck at work!

    Hi y'all! I got 6 eggs from a lady in town, and 3 of them cracked horribly during an incubator accident. One of them never developed, and one of them candles as being filled by baby chick, but hasn't yet pipped and it's day 21. Should I leave it in for a few more days just in case, or give up...

    First egg, and a question about egglaying

    Hi y'all!! I'm kinda rushed today so don't have time to search for an answer to my question, so I'll ask. I got my first egg every on Thursday, and it's Saturday. When should I expect another one? Should I be worried? How soon until they start coming like clockwork? It's a little bitty...

    Incubating advice. Should I give up on the entire batch

    So, I opened my incubator on Sunday to candle my eggs (one week in), and turned off my egg turner. I didn't realize it was still off until tonight when I checked them again. They don't appear to have developed any more (I could be wrong though). Seeing as they haven't been turned in the last 5...

    Earned my right to be a carnivore

    Earned my right to be a carnivore for the first time today. So far, I know that I have a right to Chicken and Fish and Seafood. As for Beef, Pork, etc, I'm gonna need a farm first (or just a differently zoned property). I guess the whole dressing and such gets easier after the first time...

    Chicken Videos?

    Hey y'all! I uploaded some videos of my chickens to Youtube today, and wondered if anyone wanted to watch or not (sorry about the clicking, but my digital camera records the noise the auto-focus makes) Here's the video of Kellog crowing (He's only been doing it for 3 days): Here's the video...

    Eggs of all shapes and sizes and your thoughts, please

    Hi All! I just recently started strolling through the world of eggs outside those of chickens and 'caviar' by picking up a dozen duck eggs for $5 from a lady a few miles away. I was really impressed with the size and taste of duck eggs and I want to try more exotic options. I've always been...

    Skipping some steps: Hi, I'm from Utah

    Hi! I'm from Utah. My name is Boots / Bryan (seriously, my friends call me both). I already typed out some of my story on my My Page, but here it is: It all started with a posting to one of my favorite websites, BoingBoing about how much fun backyard chickens can be. I read the article and...

    Run height

    Hi All, Second post, about my coop. I've got the building up (10x4), 6 Ameraucanas, 7 weeks old. The coop looks awesome, but I don't want to totally freerange my chickens so I want to fence in the garden box right in front of the coop. It's 12 x 12, with a weird 3x3 cutout on one side...

    What are the coop sizes generally?

    Hi All, I'm definitely new here (first post). I keep looking over the Coop Designs (Small, Medium, Large) and was wondering, what are the qualifications? How small is small? How big is a 'Medium' coop, etc? I just built a 4'x10' coop and working on a 12x12 run for them. Once I get all the...
