    Help! House Was Sold Underneath Us

    I've just learned our house was sold in February and we have til 10am tomorrow morning before people show up. Whatever papers or complaint that was supposed to be given we never ever got!

    Looking for pullets/hens in the Manchester, KY area

    I can drive up to 30 minutes out but my car won't go further unfortunately. I've lost a few hens and I would like to add more back so I don't have to get rid of my roosters.

    Got my first eggs!!

    After losing my first flock and fully restarting I'm happy to say we made it folks!! I think two of them are laying some light blues. Next thing is to keep them alive through a 9hr move but that's not for a while.

    Only back of roosters legs injured?

    Sorry I don't have a picture the little guy won't stand still but both his back legs have about a 1 inch scab on both of them, none of my other 14 birds seem to have this problem. It's already healed quite a bit but I just can't seem to figure out how it happened. I can't find any blood in the...

    Rooster Jerky?

    Wondering if rooster jerky/chips would be any good or if anyone has tried it with specifically rooster meat before. I have an extra roo up for harvesting here in a week or so about 13weeks old and I would prefer a dried recipe over long cooking. Should I let it rest before marinating or...

    Moving with chickens

    I know this question has been asked a billon times but I thought I'd ask for my specific situation. Unfortunately Kentucky is not the place for us but I plan on taking my flock with me (probably 10 birds) back to Missouri a 10~hr drive. It will be the beginning or middle of September, and we...

    Differences in Sumatra, Ayam and FibroEEs?

    I love these all black breeds but I'm wondering if I should really shell out extra money for the more expensive ones or just go with a bunch of Sumatras as they're the cheapest. IE I can get 3 Ayams, 4 Fibros or 12 Sumatras, not that I need 12 Sumatras but I would prefer to get at least 4-6 of...

    Everyone's favorite game- Hens or Roos?

    I got my suspicious looking birds together and snuck some pictures, some of them might be the same photo but trying to focus on a different chicken. Almost 9 Weeks They're all EEs but if you have guesses on their genes let me know! (bonus frizzle cockerel at the end!) No.1 No.2 I was so excited...

    Red stripes in eyes?

    Not sure if this is an emergency or an issue but this is my runt of the group and she gets picked on a lot and I noticed her eyes are like this? I'm unsure of when they started looking like this but she acts normal other than some ditsy-ness. From what I can tell she's the only one looking this...

    Burn pile okay for chickens?

    Where I plan to free-range we have a large, probably 5'x5' burn pit. I have been working on cleaning up all the bits of trash but there are obviously things I miss and plenty of burnt bits. We still use it to burn trash but I am keeping up with it as to not make a mess or attract the wild dogs...

    Breeds with lots of feathers?

    I'm wondering which breeds have the most/largest feathers. I collect them for various reasons and I plan to breed for big birds with lots of feathers and adding the frizzle gene to them as well. Breeds I've considered- Cochins, Yokohamas and Jersey Giants. These specifically for their colors, I...

    7 Week old chicks- toes curled?

    I was sitting in with them today and noticed several of my chicks (4/15) have their inner toes curling inward or sideways. Is there anything I can do for them? They don't seem affected by it but obviously I don't know. Is it a birth issue? Should I not hatch from those hens? Unrelated but I...

    When to incubate?

    My parents gifted me an 'Square Grid M12' Incubator and I'm wondering when is the soonest I can hatch eggs from newly laying hens. My chicks are quite a few months away from laying so I will probably end up incubating ordered eggs before then but when after they start can I begin incubating...

    What sells the best?

    Sorry if this was already done but I'm wondering what sells best for people in different areas, including meat/poultry sale as I know some people have a rough time selling eggs. If you do not sell you could also answer these questions as what would you be likely to buy locally? Feel free to...
