I am interested in hatching some american games, preferably, red pyles. I have found two breeders so far(fowlafoot and prairiefowl) and I thought I would try to get input.
Has anyone bought from either of them, and do the birds look good,hatch good, etc.?
Also if you know another breeder you...
Hi, got some buff orpingtons and easter eggers from mcmurray and am raising them in the house. (I don't know how I got my parents to say yes!) Anyway, it's about 65- 70 degrees at night since it's the summer and I was wondering if they would be okay If I turned off the heat lamp at night? They...
Okay, I free range my chickens during the day. What I'm wondering is, what breed or breeds are best for free ranging? By best, I mean which breeds can eat the most percentage of their diet while free ranging, and thrive on it? Also, which breeds can do the above and lay fairly well? I like to be...
Well my brother let one of our dogs out and guess what happened? I was in the house and I heard the chickens cackling loudly and I looked out the window, and there was willow, our dog, having fun! I put her back and counted heads and they all looked fine. I came back later and I saw a soaked hen...
I am so upset. I had 6 eggs under a hen that went broody and today was day 21 so they were supposed to hatch. Well, I woke up this morning and ran out to the coop. The hen was eating like she usually does in the morning but I looked at the nest and the eggs were gone! Then I found a hole that...
I want to start hatching some eggs, but I don't have an incubator. I've read about how to do it, now I just need the facilitys! So what incubator should I get to hatch around 20 eggs?
Thanks!
I was wondering how well cubalayas and malays do in cold weather. I live in Idaho and it gets zero degrees easy every winter. Basically I just want to know if it would be really miserable for them if they would make it.
Okay, so I saw a lemon pyle brahma the other day and I became infatuated with the coloring. It's so beautiful.
So I was wondering;
Are there any other breeds with this coloring?
Are there any hatcheries that sell any lemon pyle brahmas or similar colored birds?
If not where would I go/ who...
I have four chuckars that I bought along with some chickens. What I was wondering is how old will the chuckar be when it gets to its full size?
Also, how big do they get?
Thanks!
I have a hen that I think is laying internally! It even has one of the undeveloped eggs or something sticking out of her butt. How do you cure this. I'll try to get some pictures taken soon.
All six of my hens have lost feathers on the same area in each of their backs. At first I thought they were molting but the feathers haven't grown back and they haven't lost anymore anywhere else.
I do have a rooster with them but it doesn't look bloody at all and I never see him pecking them...
Hey! I joined because I wanted to learn more and to get help with questions. I have 6 hens and a rooster. Today I bought 4 barred rock pullets and 5 chuckars so I'm excited!
