    Worth the butcher?

    My husband and I hatched out our own chicks. Dad is an Americana and moms are a mix of EE, Barred Rock, and Saphire Gem.

However here we are at 14 weeks and they still don’t return? Every evening we get them and put them in... whyyyy? We are going to...

    Crop question not seen in other conversations

    Hello! So I have a 10 week old golden comet that we noticed had a large crop. Note this bird is huge like double the size of the other hens (granted they are barred rocks, idk if there is that big of a size difference?) anyways, her crop was like baseball size and felt super squishy. I read...
