    Aviaries & safe plants

    I started to build my quail aviary yesterday, and I plan to finish it without any cost. I simply do not like having the wire bottom cages and whatnot for an animal that seems much happier outside. So, my plans are to build it like a chicken run with a nest box to one side (more for shelter than...

    Egg Color?

    Tomorrow I plan to set 50 or so eggs into my incubator to sell chicks. Of these they come from a Barred rock rooster or a GC rooster. The hens I have with them are Barred rocks, Buff Orpingtons, Golden comets, and a Brahma. Now these babies will be a barnyard mix and I assume all offspring will...

    So, I am going to do a fairly large hatch in the coming week(s) to get some chicks to give to friends and keep for myself. I have 3 buff hens, two barred rock hens, a Brahma and several production reds and golden comets. These are mainly my layers. I also will be adding a EE and a RiR hen fairly...

    Barred Rock x Buff Orpington

    So, I am soon doing a hatch of my Barred rock rooster x Barred rock hens. I was thinking of also throwing in some Barred rooster x buff eggs. I know these won't sex link, but from my understanding chicks will all be black than as they grow a lot of orange will bleed through or be in the under...

    Golden Comet Rooster x Easter Egger

    Any suggestions on how this chick will turn out? What color eggs she might lay. (If it is a rooster) It is part of my production flock. Because of whitish color I am assuming it was fathered by the commet rooster and not my barred rock. It's the bird towards the front
