    Jewelry Made from Chicken Feathers!

    Yeah so I've heard....the new craze. And I do mean people have gone completely crazy. I always just admired how beautiful some of my EE roosters were! and for the longest time I of course didn't have a use for so many roosters that I got when I ordered/hatched chicks, and they were butchered...

    Egg Laying Mystery

    Before you say so.... yes I know there's currently a thread on why your hens may not be laying. I found incredibly unhelpful, and tried to post my own story and got no response. Also multiple times in the past i've posted questions only to have someone respond with links to other threads or...

    drying Chicken Feet

    I'm attempting this for the first time... I read a really old thread on here in regards and someone had said they just use salt for 3 days to dry them out. I have mine in a coffee can completely submerged in salt, for the last 4-5 days. My question is, how long do they have to be in there...

    cleaning feathers - off the bird!

    Well i'm sure we've all looked at our chickens at one point or another and said to ourselves '' How pretty!'' I had a bunch of 'excess' roosters butchered this year and though the meat was appreciated by all, I couldn't help but say to myself 'what a waste of pretty!" So I bought some tools and...

    My Chick Is Going To Explode!

    These Ameraucana X Barred Rock chicks are about 3-4 weeks old. I have them side by side for comparison. I was admiring my little peepers just a while ago and noticed one of them is absolutely huge. FAT. I picked him up and I just couldn't believe....he feels like a balloon! He's completely full...

    Info needed on shipping birds

    Anyone have a review to give me on a Sportsman cabinaet incubator?

    So I'm hoping after the holidays I can get the Sportsman 1502 i've been eyeballing for the last few months. Though I can't fin much in the way of reviews on it, I wondered if anyone on here had this model or a similar one or if there's some general advice to be given on cabinet incubator. I'm...

    Looking for a pheasant breeder - Impeyan and Lady Amherst

    I'm looking to get into pheasants this spring. I wanted to start with the Lady Amherst.... They are a particular favorite of mine and I'm told by other breeders that they're fairly easy to raise. Once I get the hang of that, I'd be interested in investing in some Impeyans also, though I can't...

    Chicken or Turkey?

    Well our one Buff Orp roo has never seemed to like the other chickens. they never fought but he avoids the flock like the plague. My flock pretty much stays between the barns, road, and house, however he wanders way way out into our horse pasture and hangs out with our horses every day. Walks...

    Welsummer....roo or hen? PART II

    So I posted a few months back on the topic of a Wellie hen I'd purchased from a local guy. I wasn't seeing any eggs from 'her' and thought I say the beginnings of spurs, so I posted here to see if someone could set me straight. The votes were that this was indeed a hen and I should see eggs...

    Some kind of Mite? And how do I kill it?!

    Getting a picture seems almost impossible, these little buggy things are very tiny, maybe 3/4 the size of the "I" on my keyboard key. Some about as long as the I. Long thing narrow body, shaped and moves more like a centipede or a worm. They're inhabiting my bird's feathers, I dont see any on...

    Crowing? already? Do I have a chicken prodigy on my hands?

    So for the past week I thought the pitiful crowing was coming from a stall that has a couple 3-4 month old roosters in them. Though yesterday, I'm feeding the chickens in the brooder....and it turns out here be the source! This is my first time raising Jersey Giant so I didn't know if it was...

    Ameraucana? Or Imposter!?

    I bought 20 straight run Ameraucana chicks from a woman who breeds and shows locally. She raises black and blue so i'm not surprised most of the chicks turned out to be black, and one shed out to a dark blue. I have a couple roosters that have some cream colored flecks over their wings but other...

    Using Wazine

    At least this time working out the dosage was easy.... but how long should they be drinking Wazine water? If more than a day, do I need to replace old water and mix up new stuff? It says to repeat worming again in 10-14 days....should I use a different wormer or can I use wazine again? It...

    Welsummer...Roo or Hen?

    I bought these two 'Welsummer Hens' about 6 weeks ago from some guy who just had a little backyard flock of odds and ends. His ad said they'd start laying around May. Well into June now I haven't seen any pretty dark eggs. Iv'e waited and waited. No dark eggs, and no increase in the amount of...

    Chickens on Duramycin 10...

    After their 14 day spree on this stuff...how long before it's safe to eat/incubate eggs again? I used this to clear up some sneezing caused by ventilation issues, I put a fan in there and along with the meds, it's helping. Someone else also told me they use herbs to treat things like this...

    MOST UNUSUAL EGG EVER! Something wrong with my hen?

    Just collected this from the coop a few minutes ago. Just HAD to post. I've gotten strange color rings on this side of hte egg before from one of my hens (I suspect the same one) but nothing like this. It looks like scarring after removed stitches. Seeing as it's an egg, that would be an...

    Any Aracauna breeders goign to Uniontown Show April 18 in PA?

    Our rooster just tragically passed away and the breeder we got him from is going to this show and said she'd look for a roo for me. I dont need a show quality bird, but he does have to be of breeding age. I'd love a wheaten but as far as colors, i'm not picky. I'm wondering if any BYC members...
