    Something Strange & Scary is Wrong With Young Hen

    Hello All One of my good Australorps laid an egg outside in the grass yesterday which isn't all that odd, but it was lying in a pool of something that looked just exactly like egg white. There was no yolk. Later in the afternoon, she went inside a small dog house and stayed there. I took her...

    Pls Help can I give Wazine wormer after treating birds with Frontline?

    I noticed mites on one of my birds so will treat them all with Frontline drops that I use for my dogs. How long do I need to wait to worm them and is Wazine okay or is there a more complete wormer I should use? Please advise. Both my red sex links feel very light so I don't know if it could...

    Nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs!

    Set 18 IB eggs today in the dead of winter, in a 'bator I built myself, that were shipped about a thousand miles, and it's my first hatch ever. Now talk about stress! I'm may need some serious therapy when this deal is done LOL or perhaps sooner! Candled them this morning after letting them...

    BYC judging of chickens by photo

    Where did I see that people can submit photos of their birds for a show critique? I think Walt was a part of it, but I can't seem to find the thread. Could someone point me in the right direction please? I'm interested in reading the different comments and critiques.

    laying egg a day in deep winter???why???

    I bought two 15 week old red sex links at a chicken stock in October of this year. Later I added three 5-1/2 month old australorps. I got my first egg about two weeks ago, then every other day I'd get one until last week when I started getting two a day...every day! At first, I thought it...

    Let's hear from all you Iowa Blue breeders!

    I'm really excited about this breed and want to see what is being produced by breeders today. This is a good homestead breed. Photos, stories, lineage...all would be great!

    Just ordered this year's CRs from Welp

    Howdy from Wild and Wonderful West Virginia. I haven't been on the site for quite a while and it is good to be back. I like the new look. We had great success with our 25 CRs (my first time raising them) last year so I placed an order today for 30 more. We still have five or six left in the...

    Black Australorp x New Hampshire

    What would be produced by this cross? Would the offspring be sex linked? I'll bet they'd be good and hardy DP's and great egg layers. BA roo x NH hen> NH roo x BA hen>

    Finding a market for my meat chickens

    some of our friends have expressed an interest in purchasing quality homegrown free range chickens. There are several advantages for me in selling poultry and eggs, one being an agricultural exemption for state taxes. I would need to show gross sales of only $1,000 a year to qualify, and any...

    Processed my 23 remaining Cx's yesterday

    This was my first go 'round with meat birds. I processed mine at two days shy of 8 weeks old. They were very uniform in size except for two smaller birds that were just over 4 lbs. The 23 birds averaged 4.74 lbs. I couldn't wait to taste them so I roasted one for dinner tonight and as most...

    Big difference in Cx from wk 5 to wk 7

    I can't believe what a difference two weeks has made in the growth of the birds. They spend all day out in pasture with feed and water, then nothing from 8 at night until 9 the next day. I'm mixing two kinds of feeds to keep the protein level at about 18%. one is a finisher 15% and the other...

    craw is hard and lumpy, what's wrong

    The bird I harvested earlier tonight had a very lumpy and hard craw. It was impacted with food, and it may have been obstructing its windpipe. Who has seen anything like this? Did it overeat? It was 5 weeks 3 days old and dressed out at 3.442 lbs without skin or giblets. Any comments would...

    Uh Oh, One of Mine Looks Like It's Dying Of Heart Trouble!!!

    Mine are now 5 wks old. They spend the day outside basking in the sunshine and scrounging around. I had to shoo them inside after dark because they just lay down outside their door on the cold concrete. After they settled down, I noticed one of them laboring to breath, by opening it's mouth...

    UPDATE On My Meat Bird Project

    Received my first ever batch of 25 meat birds from Welp on 9/16/11. Kept them in a plastic bin as a brooder for a few days but they got too large so I split them in to two groups and kept two plastic brooders for almost two weeks but again they all got too big and messy. One died at about 5...

    What kind of floor is in your meatie's chicken tractor?

    I'm ready to build the living quarters of my chicken tractor. Mine consists of a four-sided canine kennel that is longer than it is wide. I had to remove old damaged chain link and add hardware cloth. I plan on adding a tarp to the top and down the sides a couple of feet. The kennel frame...
