    "mystery exotic" from McMurray Hatchery

    Hello all. I received this guy as the free mystery exotic with my order of Pearl White Leghorns. It's a mystery all right. Any takers? He's just as flighty as the Leghorns and hasn't made the first noise. We also got a Barred Rock rooster with our Red Stars and he's a big beautiful boy. So...

    RIR feeding questions

    Hello all, thanks for such a wonderful forum! My family is raising 6 wonderful Rhode Island Reds who are now about 3 months old. They are very happy outside in their new house. My question about feeding is how long should I be giving them medicated starter crumbles? When should I switch to...
