1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.)
Australorp, about 14 months, is losing weight bc she sits in the coop all day. When I do push her out she goes straight to the water. I've not seen her eat feed in over a week, but she is...
How gross are they to eat? I've processed many dozens of birds raised for their meat, but not old layers who are no longer producing well. Are they edible? Is it worth the work? I have six who no longer serve a purpose but are healthy and active. Thanks for any advice you have.
I am a complete newbie, so I'll apologize if this is obvious. I did take a chicken class and thought I did my homework.
My chicks are 1 week 3 days old. I came home today to find two with bloody backends from being pecked. I immediately separated them.
What do I do? Are they too crowded...
I am a newbie and trying to figure out if I can convert an aluminum shed into a coop. I live in Mass. so warmth is a factor. Every search I do leads me to automatic door openers and such. Any btdt or leads on information would be appreciated.
Thanks.
