I was given 3 -10 month old pullets. The lady did not know what kind they were but said they were laying white eggs.
They have the same coloring as my Easter Egger but have white ear lobes.
Their comb is split on the top and lays down on either side. Sorry but I do not have a picture at this...
I found a guy selling a Pickwick Model HPD and a fiberglass scalder. He said they are in very good condition. He wants $400.00 for both.
Has anyone ever used that type of plucker?
Does the price sound good?
Is it worth buying for 100 chickens per year?
Thanks for any input
I came home today to find one of my full grown RIR was dead. The body was intact but all the neck feathers and some of the breast meat was gone. There was a pile of feathers next to her. She was inside a fenced in run approximately 15' x 20' with no overhead fencing. Do you think it was a hawk...
I want to let my nephew enter a dozen of our eggs at the local Grange Fair/ Farmers Fair.
Does anyone have any idea how they judge them? What would a winning egg look like?
Thank you for any advice.
Hi,
I bought a few Rhode Island Red couple months ago. One hen had a bubble under her eye. Now all of a sudden she has a big bubble on her foot. Does anyone know what is going on? Thank you.
