    Non-commerical Feed

    Hi guys, need some input here. We are in the process of moving away from commercial feed for our 200+ chicken flock. They are getting as much papaya as they want (we have a source for truckloads for just $10!). We also are getting a large amount of kitchen scraps from an organic retreat...

    Jumped in both feet!

    I have a fairly large flock of chickens, around 250 and growing. I have been getting a lot of requests from my customers for duck eggs and/or salted eggs. An opportunity arose and I got 100+ ducks of various breeds, but mostly Khaki Campbell and Pekin. We picked them up today and the poor...

    Type of Rooster?

    Got as a Rescue, he's gorgeous, but I have no clue what breed he is. Coloring is varied shades of grey. Thanks! Juli

    Broody duck!

    Ugh! Just found Daisy's clutch of 13 eggs she has been sitting on. Unfortunately she doesn't have a partner so the chickens got a treat. (Broke our hearts, but no idea how long she'd been on them.) We put some larger fertilized chicken eggs back in her nest. Any chance she'll hatch them? Zero...

    Post FP issue

    I just went a round of fowl pox with my flock. I lost some of the youngsters as I had 2 broodies hatch out 19 each during the mess. I pulled them out of the coop/run as soon as possible, but still lost 5, and a couple now only have 1 good eye despite hours and hours of attention and love...

    Barred Rock Breeding Group

    I've got a rather large free-range flock, close to 200. I've gotten many requests for specific breed chicks so I'm starting to set up breeding pens. I've put the Barred Rock rooster in a 12 x 10 pen with 4 Barred Rock hens. My question is this, how long do I need to pull eggs before I can...

    Adding to flock during DFP outbreak?

    I've got a flock of a little over 100. I sell eggs and was selling chicks and roosters until last couple of weeks. I've got a run of dry fowl pox going. Not sure where it came from, nothing new in the flock in months except my own hatches. Neighbors do have chickens, but I've not seen one...

    I have a flock of about 120, I checked them all and only this one has this. Do I need to be worried???

    What kind of duck?

    This poor guy/gal wandered onto our property starving and dehydrated. He/she has been fed and is enjoying their new pool. Any idea what breed and if it's male or female? I know nothing of ducks, just chickens. Thanks!

    Rooster wheezing

    We got this rooster and 12 chicks about a month ago. He was healthy up until 3 or 4 days ago when he couldn't crow. Now it looks like he's struggling to breath and it's real raspy. I've separated him from the flock, but is there anything I can do for him? I did some research and what I...

    No feed available

    The joys of living in Hawaii. No feed on the island for 2 weeks and I am down to 100 lbs of feed (some shipping SNAFU). With 100+ in my flock I am going to have to ration. They do free-range, but I've got 30 at POL that I'd like to make sure they are getting enough feed. I do have a few...

    Offspring?

    Black Australorp hens with this rooster, (might be mixed silver pencil and barred?). Will I be able to auto-sex at all after hatching? How about with Black Jersey Giants? I believe with my BRs I won't be able to, correct? Tried to look it up, but the more I looked the more confused I got...

    New to me chicks/Rooster

    Got these today. The rooster someone said could be a cross between a Barred Plymouth and a Barred Pencil. Here are some of the chicks, several of the black with silver "sort of" stripes have the white spot on top of the head. Any idea if this is a good indicator of cockerel or pullet? There...

    Pipping issue

    This chick pipped way far away from my last air cell marking and it has just a touch of dried blood on it. Any hope for this fluffy butt?

    Broody left the nest

    Ugh! Not the best luck with my first time silkie moms. This one sat for 18 days and then decided to change nest boxes. I found the eggs cold but brought them in and candled. One clear, but the other two still Kicking! I put them in an incubator that already has 7 on going into lockdown...
