    ISO RIR from Pickens stock

    The nicest & best looking RIR’s we ever had came from Mrs. Rosalyn at Lucky Pickens farm. My understanding is she sold her flock. I only have two old roosters and one old hen too old to lay left. I was hoping someone that had some that came from her might have some hatching eggs to mail or...

    Clicking on email noticifications goes to front of thread not new posts?

    When subscribe to a post and receive an email notification, in the past a click would lead to the first post since I last visited. Now it is going to the 1st post in the thread, not to page 60 etc. How do I fix that?

    Peanut Bran - Ok for my chickens?

    I have the chance to get some peanut bran super cheap - like $3.50 a bag cheap. It is rice bran and peanut pieces mixed together. It is being sold as deer feed here. Peanut bits/pieces/leavings mixed with rice bran. Sure beats the $16 a bag I am paying for layer feed if it is ok.

    2 breeds but just one kind dying? Frustrating!

    It took months for my turkey order to arrive. I ordered 20, received 19 live and 2 dead. So 9 royal palms & 10 bourbon reds arrived alive last month. Lost one RP the first night but it was weak when it got here. All the others learned to eat/drink quickly. I spend hours with them, hand fed them...

    Perimeter fencing ideas

    I would really like to have my entire property fenced in the back so I could let my gang free range whenever I am home. I need budget friendly perimeter fencing but have no idea what kind/where to start. It is a barnyard and a large field. It would be for chickens, turkeys, ducks and geese. (The...

    Maintaining Brooder Temps - its 100 out here

    I usually do chicks in the Spring. This year ordered poults, too, not realizing that with the waiting lists they wouldn't be arriving until Mid June. It is just shy of 100 here today. Night temps in 80's. They are due any day - will they be ok without a heat lamp? Too hot with it is my fear. My...

    Hen lays in the feeder - suggestions?

    I have a hanging feeder sitting on bricks in the hen house. I love it b/c it holds several days worth of feed. No matter what kind of board, etc I have tried on top I have a hen that knocks it off and lays an egg in the feeder. I really don't want to hang it as it is hard to lift the feed bags...

    A couple of newbie questions please.

    Hi. Newbie questions. It has been ten + years since we had chickens, and much longer since we had chicks. They were my grandmothers and I just helped, I was a teen. My kids want chickens. If I use a large dog crate (the cage kind) as a brooder for a while, then switch to a kids plastic...
