I was just made aware of this. Has anyone participated? I would post a video to explain, but the one that I found wasn't family friendly. Chicken farmers may be having some boredom issues. 😅

Hey everyone, Got our order from Hoover's today. We were supposed to be getting prairie bluebell eggers, but got chicks that looks more like a male bielefelder, but with feathered feet. The comb does look more like that hybrid pea/single comb atm. Does anyone know if prairie bluebell eggers...

I have a broody hen that decided to sit at around May 17th. Our hatchery order is coming around Friday the 2nd, and I was wondering if I should try to get some chicks under her. I can brood them just fine, but I would love to get her the mothering experience she is seeking (and get her out of...

I am looking at purchasing safe-guard aquasol on ebay from one of the sellers that divides up a larger jug. This is only so I can keep selling my eggs legally 😒. Has anyone else done this and was still successful with the treatment? Does anyone have a seller they can recommend? I am a little...

Does anyone know why this is so? I have read a couple different things on here, (like it can interact with human medications, or make a worm appear in an egg) but I thought maybe someone might know for sure. I know that SG has no toxicity level, so I was wondering why the suggested withdrawal...

I would love to know more about what you do besides poultry keeping. I tried to come up with every hobby/pastime I could think of, but please post and give us the details if I missed yours. Also, feel free to post with pictures or info to show off your multitudes. Thanks everyone!

Hi everyone, I was going to check here because I was having a hard time finding this info online. Does anyone know if you can still call your eggs organic if you are using permethrin? I can just ask the neighbors that I sell to about their comfort level, but we also sell to a collective that...

So, I have had some egg eating going on, because one of starlight green eggers have been laying eggs with a hole in them. We're working on solving that issue, but for the moment it has been a race to the nest box each morning. I finally got it in my head to blow and egg and fill it with...

Hey everyone, Has anyone used this product and seen it work successfully for lice? https://www.domyown.com/cimexa-insecticide-dust-p-2513.html I am fine using permethrin, but I have this on hand. It is basically silica dust which brings me to my next question.... Does anyone have any idea if...

Hello all, I have a hen that is recovering from a roundworm infestation. She is on day four of her safeguard dewormer and is seeming more normal. The whole time she has been sick the only thing I can get her to eat is fruit. Has anyone else found this to be true? Does anyone have any...

Hey everyone, I want to try using a crop bra on my salmon faverolle hen that has been having crop issues on and off. Can anyone recommend one to buy? I am afraid I won't have enough time to make one in time because it has been so crazy here. I was hoping for one with velcro and a support...

I picked up chicks from the PO yesterday from Hoovers hatchery. I have a chick that was acting lethargic and couldn't walk around normal in the brooder. I found her lying under the brinsea heater, I thought she might be dead, but now she has pepped up a little bit in my shirt sling. Would it...

Hi All, I was wondering if anyone has had success raising BSF in a cold climate. We are in between zone 3 and 4 in Northern Vermont. I am almost sure I have seen BS Flies around, but our Summers have very cool evenings and mornings, sometimes 60s for a week, very little 80s some Summers. Has...

Hi there, I was going to see if anyone had seen something like this before, because I can't find a lot of info from doing a search engine. My Salmon Faverolle, Harley Quinn, had a big welt next to her mouth. It seemed to pop up overnight, or went from unnoticeable to very noticeable in a...
