    12 week old chicks dying

    Ok, I've had poultry and waterfowl my whole life, but this one has me stumped, I've never had a problem like this. An extended family member hatched about 50 Black Copper Marans, and gave me half. Hers are fine, but mine have been dying at the rate of about 4 a week, I only have 5 left. They...

    THE VACATION THREAD!!!!!!!!!!!

    If you have kids, legoland is a blast. If you have the time, making the drive up route 1 to Cambria and Hearst Castle is well worth it.

    Tips on rehoming a rooster?

    Sorry to hear that, it sounds like the SPCA might be your only choice. We have a local family from India that will take roosters and hens from us that are any age, for eating. As long as it's free, they don't care. But if you're in a hurry, the SPCA might be your best bet. Good luck on...

    Do people keep just roosters for pets?

    I know, that's exactly what I'm afraid of - he said he'd be glad to buy more in the future, and seemed to be genuine, but I don't want to be naive. He spoke heavily accented English, so I'm hoping where he comes from "we don't usually eat them" means "we only eat the ugly and mean ones." =)...

    Do people keep just roosters for pets?

    So I just sold a bunch of my extra roosters on Craigslist. They guy was really nice, and I had assumed he was going to eat them. After all, why would you pay $ for a bunch of roosters if you're not? When I asked though, he said he didn't usually eat them. So I guess I'm just wondering, do any...

    Does this Welsummer have a small head?

    Hi All, I've been trying for awhile to get a good breeding flock of Welsummers going, but I've been having hard time. I only have one male left, thanks to a racoon. He's only about 4.5 months old, but something seems off in his body type. Like his head is too small or something. I was...

    How to add a picture?

    Hey all, I've been on here awhile but haven't posted much. How many posts do I need before I can add pictures? My internet is really slow and I can't seem to find the page with the new member rules/instructions. Hope this was the right place to post this. Thanks in advance!

    A question about NPIP

    Before I knew much about chickens, it didn't matter to me who or where my eggs or chicks came from. But now that I've had chickens for quite a few years, I look for the NPIP # before I buy - even though I'm not certified yet either. Ridgerunner is right, I think most states don't care where...
