Hey there, I'm getting ready to hatch out some quail and it will be my first time raising quail. I've hatched them before but never really raised them. I've been reading up on how to take care of them but I haven't really seen anything on their laying behavior. If I make them a little nest box...

So, Hopefully soon I will be moving to a property where I can finally have ducks and geese! I might be awhile before I even get them but I'd like to ask now so I can have everything sorted out when we get there. I plan on digging a pond for them and want to know what a good size would be for...

Hello Ladies and Gents. I am building a whizbang plucker for my wife and I. I am curious as to the motors other have used. I know the type of motor to use (3/4 or 1 hp 1725rpm single phase, farm duty motor). What I am asking is what brand do people recommend. I could always go with the cheapest...

So I'm sitting here watching "Friends" and I've always known that Joey and Chandler had a chick and a duck. But watching it again with all my "chicken smarts" if you will, I've noticed that the chick started out as a silkie, then in one episode (when they found out it was a rooster) it...

Don't know if this is the correct thread for this but feel free to move it. I remember awhile ago looking on Dan Powell's (spelling?) Website and he had something about a brahma project he was working on, Lavender laced brahmas! When I had looked again it said he had retired and sold his birds...

I was just wondering if it was ok to feed chickens baked beans. I have some left over baked beans and was thinking about giving it to the chickens but didn't know if that was ok or not. I know beans can cause gas in humans and if a bird gets gas it dies but they are a completely diferent animal...
