I just recently moved back to Pasco from overseas, and I know there were people who "were working on" trying to get the laws changed, and I was curious if anyone knows anything.
Just a quick question, and hopefully this is in the right section of the forum, sorry if it's not....
If I wanted to have a variety of green egg colors, not just "olive", such as light green, medium green, as well as deep green/olive, could that be achieved the following way? :
Light Green...
Hey Everyone,
Quick Question.
I was looking at the turkeys on porterturkeys and I seen the silver auburn and thought it was very beautiful. Normally the pages say if the birds breed true or not, but the page for the silver auburn doesn't say either way. So the question is....
Do silver...
Hello everybody. I've known about Buff Orpingtons and other solid colored ones but what I didn't know before tonight was that there were so many other types of orpingtons (save for jubilee) out there. Exactly how many are there? I've made this list from ones i've seen tonight. Which ones are...
I was curious if there is any noticeable difference in production between a specific Isa Brown vs any other random hatchery sex link red, black, or gold. Also curious if there is a difference in feed consumption between them that is noticeable.
Thanks :)

I know that many people install their next boxes for external collection but I was curious if anyone decided to create a collection and storage room instead where they had the nest boxes fit between the framing studs with access in a separate enclosed room with base cabinets below. I'm just...
I just wanted to put this out there for anyone who may find this useful.
The topic of hardware cloth size and such is a common topic here and amongst people who are new to building coops and runs, and I know most people just go for 1/2 inch hardware cloth, but some people would prefer 1/4...
Hi everyone,
Just a quick question for clarification. I understand RSL's are excellent layers and I see lots of posts about them being able to lay 300+ eggs their first, but what I am not seeing is what their production is like AFTER that first year. I searched the forum's first 10 pages out...
Just a quick question (which may or may not have a quick answer)
when breeding two different types of chickens together will you get the same result regardless of which of the breeds is the roo or the hen?
For example:
If in one pen i had RIR roosters with Silver Lace Wyandotte hens, and in...
I'd like to preface this post by saying the following list(s) are the chickens I have found to be the most attractive either visually speaking or for some other reason. I am not interested in having any roosters and the silkies and polish listed would have their own private dwelling apart from...
I was looking at a feed chart on a hatchery website regarding BBW and the feed amount averaged to about 100lbs of feed give or take(118lbs for a tom 82lbs for a hen) to raise a BBW up to 20 weeks. Is this correct? I don't know anything about turkeys but it seemed like that was probably on the...
Hey everyone. i was just reading the newspaper and I came across this article

It is an essay contest to win these people's goat farm and goat cheese making business. There is a 150 dollar entry fee and the...
Ok for the sake of simplicity let's say your only going to grow barley for fodder and use it as the primary feed. (this is more about the process i am coming to these numbers by as opposed to the specific seed being used -- math was never my strong suit)
I've found non GMO untreated barley for...
I don't have any cows but would perhaps consider having them in the very distant future so I have a hypothetical question that I hope one of you may be able to answer for me.
Is there any biological or psychological benefit to the dairy cow to have them produce milk one year then take a year...
So I was thinking about nesting boxes and came up with what seems to me could be a good idea but perhaps not (ive tricked myself before lol) and I wanted to ask here and see what people thought. I like the idea of the nesting boxes that are fixed in such a way that the egg rolls out but those...
I hope I'm using this section of the forum properly.
My name is Ashlie and I live in Amsterdam Netherlands. I am not Dutch, but I am married to a Dutch man which is why I live here. I am originally from the US. I grew up in the Tampa Florida area, and at some point in my life I have also lived...
HI Everyone :)
I am completely ignorant about ducks, but I find them to be quite beautiful creatures and would perhaps like to keep some in the future. Before I make such a commitment I naturally want to learn all that I can so this is where the research begins lol.
I really like the look of...
