    Lavender chick

    Most of my hens are Copper Marans. I had an Isa brown hen several years ago and ended up with 2 beautiful yellow and black hens. I was hoping to at least get a couple more yellow chicks, when a lavender chick hatched yesterday. My rooster is a Rhode island red/Americana cross. I don't know of...

    Never laid an egg

    I have a 1 1/2 year old chicken that seems to never have laid an egg. I have cameras on boxes and she checks all the boxes out, even sits for a while, but never an egg. She is a 3gen ISA with BCM roos. Her mom is one of my best layers. She is very friendly and healthy otherwise. I am thinking...

    1 year old never laid an egg

    I have a 1 year old that is a cross of Isa Brown and Copper Marans. The older girls pick on her a bit. She has a balanced diet of layers and high protein scratch. I put trail cams in my coop since I had egg eaters and wanted to separate them from the girls. I noticed this one girl keeps going...

    Butchering 2 yr old BBB

    Our 2 year old BBB hen is slowing down quite a bit. These birds age fast and we have decided to put her down. Is there a best way to process her ie roast, soup, pressure can? I would prefer to cook her in the oven. We have extra large pans for our BBB and large cooking bags. I haven’t cooked one...

    Tomato garden

    I have a beautiful tomato garden. I had a fence around it, then added chicken wire around the outside to keep my turkeys out. I left one side open so they could access treats occasionally. They have started flying up on the boards about 8 feet high and watch while one turkey flies down and...

    Brooder boxes are Full

    I have 7 Standard Bronze Poults that are 4 weeks old. Eventually they will free range with my 2 BBB hens, which pick on them at the moment when they go outside. Most info that I see says to not let them go out at night until 8-12 weeks old. Any recommendations?? Thinking of building a temporary...

    I have chicken and guinea eggs in the incubator. I had 2 hens go broody. I set up my brooder box with 2 large boxes side by side and put the chickens in each.

    Chicken hatched guineas 10 weeks ago

    My last couple of guinea nests had been hit and lost both moms. I had the good eggs under a couple of broody hens with golf balls under the guinea moms. I pretty much write off a guinea hen when she goes broody. A few times I had one return injured and they ended up dying anyways. My first 2...

    wild turkey nest

    My husband was mowing and rescued 10 eggs from a wild turkey nest. We have no idea how far along she was. I have hatched hundreds of guinea eggs and figure that candling should be similar. All of the eggs seem to be progressing fine. 3 of the eggs seem to be pretty full, so I put them on the...

    Injured Tom

    We had 6 of our bbb survive. They are 3 months old. A couple of weeks ago, one of my birds attacked my tom on the upper part of his wing. Not sure what kind of bird, rooster, guinea or another tom. He couldn't stand, but we doctored him up and seperated him from the others. It has been 2 weeks...

    adding turkey poults

Last winter we added 10 mixed breed chickens. 2 were eliminated for dinner since they had a bad attitude. Still have 2 roosters and 6 hens. They are a various mix of banty and red...
