    Monster egg

    Out of curiosity I've gotten in the habit of weighing my larger eggs. They typically run 55-60g. I have 4 Jersey Giants pullets (3 black, 1 Blue) and I assume they're laying those eggs. I saw this egg and I was shocked at the size, so of course I had to weigh it. And yes, this came from a...

    Corid dosage for young chicks

    I have a batch of chicks in the brooder, they'll be 2 weeks old on Friday, and I need to dose them with Corid before bringing them outside. I wrote the correct dosage on the bottle but it got smeared. Their chick waterers hold 24 oz of water, how much Corid do I use for the 21 day prevention...

    business name

    I'm torn between two business names and I'm putting it to a vote. For now I'm only selling Farm Fresh Eggs, but plan to sell hatching eggs and chicks starting in spring. I might eventually sell pullets, but I don't have any I'm looking to sell just yet.

    Cockerel with swollen eye; injury or illness?

    Good Eye Bad eye I have a cockerel that I assume has an eye injury, but I need to know if it's something more serious. I've read on here some respiratory illnesses can present in the eyes first. I'm leaning more towards injury because only one eye is swollen and I'm not seeing any discharge...

    Uses for boiled eggs?

    I have a glut of eggs and I'm looking for quick and easy ways to cook a bunch at once. Were running out of room in the fridge, but I don't want to sell them just yet because a lot are from new layers. I plan to boil a pot full of eggs (30) and I have a couple of ideas on what I'll do with them...

    Pullets with missing feathers

    Over the last week or two breeding has ramped up. Now I have 2 pullets (of 19) with missing feathers from overbreeding by the males (4). I pulled them from their perches last night and put them in a seperate run. I plan to leave them together in the seperate run for at least a week to give them...

    What would I get if I crossed . . .

    I have 3 Black Jersey Giant pullets, 1 Black Jersey Giant Cockerel and 1 Blue Jersey Giant pullet. What would I get if I crossed the Black cockerel with the Blue pullet. My guess would be Splash, but I've learned things are rarely that straight forward when breeding chickens, lol. Do any of...

    6 months of denial; gender confirmation needed

    So a bit of back story . . . I have two chickens from the same pullet/cockerel pairing, one was hand raised, the other a broody raised . . . they are a week apart in age. This is Cookie I've known he was a cockerel from a pretty young age because he had red leakage and a large dark comb. As he...

    Weighing chickens

    How do you weigh your chickens? I'm mostly curious about my Black Jersey Giant cockerel. He's stands at least a head taller than all my other chickens and is very broad. When he runs across the yard and I hear the thump, thump, thump and assume it's on of my dogs running around, lol. (My dogs...

    BYC Cookbook

    I wasn't sure where else to put this question. I've been browsing the BYC Store and came across the cookbook. I saw a few of the excepts, but I can't help but wonder if it has information on culling and processing chickens, especially roosters/cockerels. Also does it contain information on how...

    Breeding run size

    I currently have two open air runs. The first is 9x18, I use it to raise chicks until they're roughly 10-12 weeks old and can go out with the older birds and I don't have to worry about the younger girls being harrased by the breeding males. The second is 10x25, this is the main coop (open air...

    I culled my first cockerel, now what?

    I culled my first cockerel Saturday evening (with help) and the meat has been resting in the fridge. I have a jar of chicken gravy in the pantry, a roasting pan and an oven. I'm thinking about thinning a bit a of the gravy to inject into the meat and using the rest to marinate it in overnight...

    Mystery 'red laced' Bantam

    This chick will be 14 weeks on Tuesday. I got her with a batch of SR Assorted Bantams from TSC. I can not for the life of me find a bantam on Hoover's site that looks anything like her.

    2 chicks with wing joint abscesses on both wings

    This is one of my 4 week old chicks. Out of 9 this chick and one other one developed a bare patch of skin at the wing joint. Initially I wasn't concerned because they're all at the raggedy looking stage. A few days after I noticed the bare spots scabbed over, but the chicks seemed fine; the...
