Hey all!
I want to see the coops/cages/tractors/whatever that you keep gamefowl in, big or small, many or one I am thinking about keeping some games, and was wondering what everyone houses them in.
Thanx in advance for all replies!
I have a flock of one Wyandotte roo, two Wyandotte hens, four Amberlinks, four red stars, two black austrolorps, and two mutts. So here's the story. About one month ago, I noticed the hens were losing feathers. At the same time a hen(BLRW) went broody. While observing the broody hen, I noticed a...
I was wondering how much experience anyone had with bluepoultry.com. It is my understanding they are a mixture of Foleys,Pauls, and Sterling. I saw how cheap their prices were and was wondering whether or not anyone has any comments, concerns, etc. In the future I may have to introduce new...
I have one rooster(a BLRW ) running with 16 hens. Most, if not all hens have bare backs. What is the problem? Overbreeding? Molting? They stay enclosed in a run and coop, but have a total of 426 sq/ft of space.

I have a trio of BLRW and a trio of BANTAM easter eggers. If I put eggs from both trios in the incubator, could they be raised in the same brooder?
Thanx in advance for any answers
I have a bit of an issue. I would like to hatch out some pure blood BLRW from my flock. However, I only have a trio of BLR's and they run with nine other sex-links. I do not want mutt babies but I am not sure how to distinguish which bird laid what egg. I think I read somewere on a thread that u...

Newbie here:) I plan on starting a flock of golden laced wyandottes. I was wondering what a 1-2 year old breeder quality rooster and 3 or 4 1-2 year old hens would cost.
