    Holes in Eggs?

    My chickens are new to laying, they are 5 months old. I am getting more eggs each day. Today I got 6 eggs outta 10 hens. I’ve been eating the eggs already but today I decided to boil a few eggs to eat. The shells are all very hard and uniform, great looking eggs but when I put them in the pot...

    Any Bob White People??

    Im raising my first chickens that I love doing even more than I thought I would. I’m interested in raising a few quail. My grandfather always had Bob Whites when I was younger but he’s passed on now so can’t consult him. Anyone here raise them? Do you raise them for meat? I understand that...

    Layer feed vs flock raiser

    I’ve been searching on here about feed and haven’t really found my answer. I have 18 week old girls and no Roo. (Thank the lord he was rehomed the hateful loud mouth.)

    Advice on Flock size please.

    So I got 16 chicks from Mcmurray six weeks ago. Everywhere around here has stopped carrying chicks for the year and I was finally in a place and ready to get chicks that I’ve wanted for years. The hatchery ship limit was 15 and you get the option of a free chick and I mean who doesn’t take a...

    Chick Grit

    I have searched forum and can’t find anything on chick grit. I’ve read other places they don’t need it if they are eating commercial feed. Some places I’ve read they do need it. My question is do 6 week old chicks eating Purina Start and Grow non medicated even need grit. I’ve been mixing it in...
