Thanks. I'm going to try the mustand one a few times. ;) If that doesn't work, I'll probably just get new chicks.

UGH! SO we have roughly 15 laying hens and today I went out there and guess what? 4 eggs! 2 of them had yolk smeared all over them yet there was no trace of broken eggs in the nest so I know they ate the rest of the eggs. Is there any way I can stop this behavior? I collect eggs after school...

Whats the best age to butcher turkeys of the broad breasted bronze and standard bronze breeds?

I order from the same hatchery. I ordered 25 cornish rocks in Feb and I live in Utah. They were all fine and lived to butcher age. Make sure they are due to be there on Monday or Tuesday and let the post office know about the arrival and to call you AS SOON AS they arrive.

I have honey bees. They are cute little fuzzy bugs. They are not at all aggresive. I can work in the garden while they are right beside me on the flowers. You should start a hive. They are fun to have. The honey is SOOOOO good. I couldn't help myself, I had to go dip a spoon in the fresh...

Mine love worms. Thats how I make friends with my shy chickens. I find worms and i run to the yard to give them to the girls. I love how to roosters are such gentlemen and pick up the worm and drop it and give to food call so a little hen can have the worm.

haha yeah it does sound like we are raising something exotic. I thought of Ol' Red Farms. I really like that one. We have a red 97' Ford we call old red and I plan on painting the rest of my animal structures red. So I think that would be a cute name for a farm.

I really like Hoof and Claw Acres. I may change it around a bit if I choose it. I want to center it around my animals. They are the main part of our farm. I thought about in intials of the family but AKGL Farms are a bit of a mouthful. Oh and we also raise Bees!

haha Those are very creative!!! haha You're hilarious

So I am looking for a farm name so I can build a website for my dad. I will just give you random information about our farm so you can get creative juices flowing. Heres a list of animals we have: -horses (quarters and foxtrotters) -cows (black angus and baldies) -rabbits (hollands, hotots, and...

seattlehens83 do you have any more pictures of that feeder?

Alright. Our chickens are wasting a TON of feed. We feed lay mash that we get from a feed mill for a lot cheaper than tractor supply stores. And I swear there is about 1 1/2 barrels of lay mash on the floor. They just flick it out of the feeder and don't eat it. Our barrels are about 250 lbs...

Oh fun! I think my grandma could use a few new ducklings (a fox got a few.) She has some ducks that try to hatch eggs but they go over board and try to hatch 20 and we don't need 20. how many ducklings can you hatch under a silkie? I was thinking I want to buy a pair of 3 colors and see how I...

I want to buy 6 silkies next year and breed and sell them (possibly keep a few.) We have a big market here for silkies. I was wondering how do I have a hen set on them? How should I set up a pen for her? And should I take the chicks after they hatch or leave them with mom? AAAAnd I hear silkies...

My dad says he is waiting for the rooster to attack my grandma and then he is sure that she will let us get rid of him. My mom wants to stuff him and put him in our house! LOL!!!! That would be so weird "That is my rooster, he was mean so we stuffed him." I would feel guilty with him staring at...

I don't know how to tell her that we are getting rid of him whether she likes it or not. "Hey Grandma, I'm gonna go kill the rooster, sorry but he's done making me mad." She would be mad. Plus I have no idea how I am going to catch him...

Thank you!!! Oh, and I forgot to add Black Giants, White giants, and Black stars to that list. I think that is all, if I find more, too bad I'm not adding them.

haha! I was thinking an accident might occur soon. He does peck some of my hens. I have a little skinny leghorn (I call her Sweet Heart, she loves people.) who all the chickens are aggresive to that he attacks. Right now most of the hens are bald on the back and I think it might be him doing...

Hello!! I am new here. I raise my own chickens for eggs and every few years for meat. We don't show, but that does sound fun. We have Cochins, Golden Polish, Red Stars, Rhode Island Reds, Barred Rocks, Buff Orpingtons, White Leghorns, and an Araucana (my favorite girl.) I think that is all. My...

I have a black cochin. He is gorgeous. BUT he has a bad temper and will chase and attack people. He mostly chases kids and women. He is more nervous around men and usually runs away. My grandma wants to keep him because she loves him so much (shes never been attacked, but he tries to attack me...
