    Welsummer & Polish Cockerels central VT

    I have 3 roosters. A Welsummer, 13 weeks, he had an incubator injury, and lost the tips of his toes because the other chicks got to him before I removed them, so he has no nails. Doesn’t seem to bother him one bit. Another Welsummer that’s 8 weeks, and a 12 Week old gold laced polish that was...

    Turkey left home and joined my flock.

    My neighbors had Spanish cross turkeys for years. I loved to hear the gobbles every day. They lost their flock to coyotes and had one solo hen left. (5 years old) she came down and started hanging around my chicken flock. I haven’t wanted her to get eaten at night so I caught her a couple times...

    Rooster help

    I have a buff O Roo I kept that was supposed to be a pullet, and thought I’d give it a chance. He’s 1 yr 2 months old. I love him. We had a come to Jesus moment around 13 months where I let him flog me until he stopped, so we’re good now. He was protecting the hens and I had to handle one. I...

    Need help asap! Brinsea ovation EX 28

    Please don’t crap on me for my incubator and tell me to by something else I can’t do that at the moment and it’s not helpful. - it’s worked fine in the past when I’ve put 6-12 eggs in spaced. I have 27 eggs in. The little cradles are not balanced and flipping entirely over and my eggs are...

    A couple questions about a run

    Hi there, I purchased 6 silkie eggs to incubate. I have a new incubator Brinsea Ovation EX, so far so good. I love not turning the eggs! Anyway, have 6 eggs and I’m on day 9, candled yesterday with two popping beautiful veins. But four look like clear albumen and yolk. Not a lot of pores in...

    Help with cold weather & ferment

    Hi all, I added 5 new chooks this year to my 4. I’ve always fermented. I have it down to a science, been great. But I only had 4 and now there’s 9. Winters have always been a challenge. Less challenging with 4 lol. But now the temps have dipped into negatives and I cannot keep the food from...

    Sweeter Heater question.

    I want to add more to the roost area, and I asked the company if I could daisy chain them together, they responded yes. But I looked at my 11 x 40 and I didn’t see how that was possible. What am I missing?

    Rooster issue

    So I im a celiac, and cannot handle gluten in feed. Cross contamination can cause all sorts of bad for me. I’ve always used New Country organics wheat free layer. But this past spring I was surprised with a Roo, who I adore, he’s my chicken shaped dog. Anyway, I’ve asked a few times about feed...

    Name two common foods your chickens won’t eat.

    My wonderfully (albeit stupid) girls and one guy refuse to eat sunflower seeds and strawberries. They would literally clean a carcass if allowed. They prefer a mud puddle over fresh water provided in several locations. But for some reason strawberries and sunflower seeds are poison.

    Anyone train their Chooks?

    So I’ve been training the chickens with some key words, and my Roo is incredibly smart and has learned his name, gentle, roost up, and food time lol. (The last was easy) I use “roost up” when everyone needs to get into the coop, adverse weather generally, or I have a lingerer outdoors...

    Over EZ large coop

    Here’s my modifications and input. I ordered this coop because I planned on having someone build for me, but they ended up not being able. My criteria was a walk in coop for cleaning and I have 9 chickens. If you aren’t free ranging or have a small run this isn’t the coop for you. The company...

    Texas Naturals

    Good Morning, just curious if anyone knows an online dealer for Texas Naturals. I need their starter grower crumble as I am a celiac and I cannot have any wheat in the feed. (Or be exposed to wheat) I’ve found some wheat free that I’m using but it’s soy / corn only & I need to be soy free as...
