I am trying to figure out how much a dozen eggs cost me to produce. Does anyone know how to do this? I am thinking that you could monitor how much feed is fed per week and how many eggs I get in that same length of time. I don't know how to calculate the numbers or if that will give me what I...

I have Production Reds and Dominiques. From what I have read, if I cross my RIR cock over DOM hens then I will have Rhodebars. Will my first hatching be Rhodebars or will I have to take those offspring and breed them back to get them. Also can I breed my DOM cock over RIR hens to get the same...

Hey ya'll. I am wanting to change feed for convenience reasons. I have many POL pullets and a lot of pullets that are not there yet. The feed cost is killing me because I'm buying layer pellets and Chick Starter. Is there anything that I can feed to everyone ?
I am feeding Tucker Millings 22% Super Layer Crumbles to my RIR and Dominque's. I had a friend of mine tell me that was why too much protein for them because they will burn out and stop laying quicker. I have never heard it this. What do yall think?.
I have got 3 RIR hens(they are right at 1 yr old) and one of them is laying an egg about the size of a quarter. She has laid two of them in the past 2 weeks with normal size eggs in between. The other 2 are laying normal size eggs daily. I am feeding Tucker Millings 22% Super layer pellet with...
I lost a RIR month old chick sometime between dark yesterday and now. The only damage that I found was one of its legs missing(the entire leg, like it was jerked out of its body at the thigh). I inspected the entire pen and there is no damage or points of egress. There are 8 additional chicks in...
I have a 10'x10" run that is completely covered with about 4" of sand. We had a good amount of rain last night and now there is standing water everywhere. Any opinions/suggestions on how to dry it out? I usually put leaves in as litter but they are all soaked too. I was thinking straw. What to...
I have a RIR hen that has no feathers around her vent. The bald spot is about the size of my fist and has a large scab in the middle of it. I tried to upload a pic but could not get it to work. How do I need to treat and should I try and remove scab to clean? Thanks in advance for any advice.
