First, sorry no pictures. I went to one of my coops and found a hand full of feathers, her gizzard and her entrails. nothing else. If's its a 'coon this is the first time I'm found any viscera. this hen was a freeranger but now I'm worried about the pens I found her remains next to. Live...

After alot of late night reading- most of it here- I've decided to try my first batch of FF for layers and will be trying this for my 2013 chicks. This has some of the most sound thinking that I've hear of. I'm still kinda new to the whole chicken hobby, less than 3 yrs. Don't get me wrong...

I have barnevelders, but not real happy with the egg color I'm getting right now. They're more of a coffee with cream color, and I'm wanting to find a breeder with better egg color close enough to give hatching eggs a better chance of hatching or purchase chicks. I'm done for this year, but...

I've read on here about uisn zip ties on LF. Would anyone suggest doing this to keep up with generations of project birds? When would be the best time to band them without them outgrowing them and hurting thenselves? I've seen the spiral bands- anyone want to chime in on them? Thanks

My husband has a silver laced polish roo, one gold laced,and 2 buff laced polish hens. Does anyone have pics of the silver over gold crossings? the silver over buff I'd expect a mostly white bird with minimum lacing or markings, would that be right? Anyone's experience would be most...

Hi, I'm more of a lurker on this formum. I lost a young hen/older Pullet this morning. She wasn't laying yet but wasn't far from it. I had brought her in the house a couple of days ago because she wasn't acting right. She was lethargic had a very loose stool that was mustard brown/yellow...
