    Had an idea

    OK, not a chicken coop, but part of my temporary set up for golden pheasants. The aviary is an old dog run 10x10 that i wrapped in chicken wire. This is dense suburbia, no predators, and I have a 100 pound great pyrenese that discourages cats. Anyway, these guys are ground nester and like to...

    Are Cheetos organic?

    So I thought I would throw this out for opinions. A coworker was talking about some eggs I gave her and saying she could tell by the taste that they were organic. But the fact is I do not think I can say that they are. To start with I always start my chicks on medicated feed (Purina) It may not...

    This pic was sent to me to try and ID the breed but it is beyond my expertise so I thought I would ask the smart people on here. Any ideas?

    New Roof

    So after 3 clear roofs have been destroyed by hail in less than 5 years I decided to go with metal. It sucks a bit because they are 3 ft panels and the rafters are on 2 ft centers. Also nothing is straight, square or plumb anymore, but it is done and looks pretty good. Mostly it is predator...

    Haven't been on for a while but have some updates

    OK my Wyandotte chicks are about 11 weeks now (not really chicks any more) and one hen is definitely NOT a hen and about 1 week ago I added some 7 week old hens (now 8 weeks if you are as bad at math as me!) 3 barred rocks and 1 buff orpington. They are all growing, the two groups don't mingle...

    Silver Laced Wyandotte X Barred Rock

    So, one of my Silver laced Wyandotte hens is a rooster. I was going to keep him and maybe incubate some eggs. I still need more laying hens and can get some Barred Rocks for a good price about the same age as my others. I was told that breeding a silver laced roo with a barred rock hen yields...

    Still not sure about this bird

    OK I got some opinions about one of my "girls" a couple weeks ago. It definitely looks different and I think it is a cockerel but I am still not sure as it does not act dominant and the comb and color are not so different that it could not be a hen. I do not know this breed at all so any help...

    Hello

    Hi There, I have seen this site before and thought about joining but I really don't spend much time on the computer and I do not carry a cell phone. I actually joined because I think I may have a cockerel in my new batch of pullets and we can't have roosters here, so I needed a little help. I...
