I went on vacation and forgot to empty my counter compost into my large compost bin. I got back the night before my 48hr shift and threw a veggie in there and noticed it was incredibly moldy and thought to dump it but completely spaced. Long story short my son and father decided it would be a...
I got two BRL Wyandotte’s from Murdoch’s, both are supposed to be female. One grew way slow, slower than the two barred rocks I got a week later. The other grew way quick. Wondering if the bigger one is a male. I’ll get better pictures tomorrow hopefully but here’s the three I took yesterday...
My son heard a chick screaming this morning so he ran down to the brooder to find a chick stuck on a wire. I had one of those chick treats that you hang. Somehow she managed to land perfectly so the wire that I hung it with went through her wing. I have no idea what to do at this point. It looks...
I got two red blue laces Wyandotte’s from the same batch. One is hardly growing at all. 2 weeks later I got two barred rocks. Both barred rocks have outgrown the one Wyandotte. Any ideas? Is this chick sick or just a runt?

I'm curious if anyone knows if the area east of Kipling, south of ken caryl, and west of garrison allows chickens or ducks. It is in unincorporated Jefco. Looking to move there. Thank you.
So I got a new jumbo brown today from a dealer that I have had nothing but problems with it seems. I got this one for free because of all the trouble I've had before. Stupid me I didn't look at it before I got it and when I got it home it has a huge patch of feathers missing, also it looks in...
Hi,
I am brand new to quail raising and I got 8 quail. They are 5 weeks old. I was supposed to get 6 females and 2 males. By looking around here I think I may have only gotten 3-4 females. It's hard for me to tell on some of them and it's even harder getting pictures of each one because they...
