First of all, I didn't say I was going to have chickens now. I was thinking about this in the future, It WAS JUST A THOUGHT...I just moved in today and most of my stuff isn't even moved in! I had a rental house before where no pets were allowed and after nearly 2 yrs of living there I got...

We tried finding a place where we could. It easier said than done!!!

I gave up my chickens in Michigan to move back to Tennessee where having chickens isn't a big deal at all. We ended up in an apartment for 3 months and as of today we are back into a house. The previous renter had dogs and now the landlord won't allow pets even outside, but I'm gonna put in a...

one more question-blood in their stool? What is that???

Happy Hensny-LOL!!! Right now I'm thinking...odd, weird, yucky...but I will have to think roasted like you said.

I'm feeding them 12 on and 12 off. And they just look like that because they are growing so fast? They look so odd...The larger space sounds right. Hmm...this is my first time with meat birds. I successfully raised alot of chicks before but never them.

Okay. What about the feather picking?

I have 18 meat birds who are doing very strangely. They are pecking at their feathers or eachothers feathers because there are a few bald spots on some. They all have large bubbles under their skin at their necks. What is going on with them??? My tiny aracauna doesnt have the missing feathers...

I have my hens in a chicken tractor and they're eating the grass along with their feed and they're eggs are richer and a deep orange color. I don't know anything about meat chickens. This is my first time but I'll be ordering them from now on. I just need to learn what to do.

Okay. I was given bad info. So I take it away at night instead of during the day. I was told you give them one day and then take away the next etc. So they won't eat much grass...okay so that's out.

I got my meat chickens on Wednesday so they will be a week old tomorrow. I get various info on how to raise them. I need some good info. At what age/day/week do I start taking their feed away for a day. Can I feed them grass and at what age? If I am feeing them grass, do I feed them their feed...

I had to kill my second bird just the other day. Mainly I drop them off and pick them up bagged up but this time I had to have my friend chop off their heads. It was easier this time. I even ate the meat today. But the thought of gassing the birds...that sounds unhealthy for you. I would never...

I have a black australop, a black sex linked-Both of these are big birds and a Golden Sex Link thats a year old that are all good layers and I would love to trade them for some chicks/pullets, any breed. I am living in a neighborhood and they are too loud for my neighborhood, thats the only...

I posted about the aracauanas and got no response but maybe I could try on here. Thanks.

I put an ad on Craigslist and haven't gotten one response. The same thing happened when I put my baby Aracuana chicks, no response.

I live in a neighborhood and I have 16 chickens. There are some chicken noises that are fine but I have about four birds that are just plain LOUD. I think my neighbor screamed out her door today saying, "SHut up birds." There so loud I can hear them inside the house and they are in the garage...

Yes, thank you. Did you feed them the same feed, meaning your regular chicks ate meat bird feed??

I will have about 10 aracauanas for sale on Thursday for $3.50 each. Please contact me. I'm in the Redford/Livonia area.

I've had chickens over a year now and I currently have 16-(with three being pullets). I've never raised meat chickens before so got several questions. 1) I have cornish rock mixes and white rocks coming, do I need to keep them separate? 2) Do I need to feed them special meat bird feed? 3) Do I...

I just got 7 new hens Saturday night. One is a pullet and she isn't laying yet. So I have the 6 that are older hens of varying breeds. I got 3 eggs yesterday. I was surprised because I thought they'd need longer to adjust. Well, today I noticed that all of them except the pullet were ready to...
