    Wow!

    I saw this hen today at the county fair! She is white with a dark PURPLE head! It is not dark red, it is actually PURPLE. I could not find the owner and waited around to find out about her, but had to leave with hubby. Does anyone know what breed or cross she might be? Thanks Elena Lamberson...

    Breeding for Meat

    I met two chefs at a local farmers market. They raise meat chickens for their restaurants. They were looking for Black Copper Maran roosters, and I happen have a couple that are only about 6 wks old. They said the BCM produces the best "physique" for meat chickens. I am a novice but I told...

    White Araucana pullets

    I have a variety of pullets (~35) that eventually will lay colored eggs this winter. Among these are 2 rumpless, tufted white Araucanas hatched 4/29/14. They are the most aggressive of all my hens! At only 3 months they are attacking the other hens. I cannot stand to see them brutalizing...

    Bob White Quail eggs

    Bob White for eggs

    I have about 40 quail left over from gun dog season - 30 hens/10 males and noticed eggs out there this week. Then heard several local restaurants crave quail eggs. Hmmm. So, I want to produce quail eggs for the restaurants. What sort of carton do you store them in? I found at Walmart a...

    New to chickens!

    My husband wants to have fresh eggs. We are building a nice coop with a little fenced in yard (well re enforced for predators) for the chickens. So, in reading as much as I could find, I am assuming we need to buy 6-8 Rhode Island Red hens. Do we buy them as young hens, little chicks or how...
