    All-Weather Millennium Feathernet Alternative For 50 Birds

    I plan on scaling up my operation later this year to 50 layers. I like the Millennium Feathernet that Polyface has, but I want something where I can keep the birds in a Northern Virginia winter as well. I plan on rotating 50 layers every week through one of 18 different 100' x 50' pasture...

    Help: Pullets Eye is swollen shut, comb looks funky, and may have vent gleet?

    Hello. My 7 month old Production Red from Meyer seems to have three issues that all started just over a week ago. All of these issues have caused her to be relatively docile and not leave the coop to free range. We have quarantined her from the other birds. First, her one eye seems to be...

    Lack of Uniformity From Big Breeder?

    I am roughly 8 weeks in to having chickens for the first time and I noticed two of the 5 breeds (I got 2 of each breed) don't appear to be uniform or look too similar. The pictures show my 2 Cream Legbars (bottom rung of ladder in 1st pic) and 2 Golden Buffs pullets are relatively different...

    Is my 8 week old Barnevelder a cockerel?

    Hello all. I have an 8 1/2 week old Barnevelder that I got from a hatchery and have a feeling it is a cockerel. Its sister (Barnevelder) doesn't even have its wattle and the comb is so much smaller. Would appreciate some help here. I am new to this!

    New to Chickens and want advice on breeding

    Hello all and am excited to make my first post. I have 10 8 week old hens (2 Rhode Island Reds, 2 Barred Rocks, 2 Golden Buffs, 2 Cream Legbars, and 2 Barnevelders). It is really interesting getting to see their personalities develop. The idea of breeding to blend their traits really fascinates...
