Anyone want to split it. 25 is just way too many and the $35 shipping from MPC is a bit pricy for me...

I have a Banty mixed breed Rooster and a large mixed breed rooster that need a new home. Please PM for more info. ETA: I DO NOT want to know what these will be for... ;0)

Our Tom attacked my husband, along with our big roo. I'm not sure what to do but he's saying we have to get rid of him... Why would they be ganging up on him? It's been all of a sudden. I guess last night Batman (the roo) was following him close behind when he was leaving the coop with Captain...

Captain is either getting an attitude or trying to attract our hen Morgan.What does his hissing/huffing mean when he's strutting? Is it a sign of aggression or is he trying to attract Morgan for mating? He only does this when he's strutting.

We lost our 2nd chicken (mixed breed) to an unknown cause. DH said she was fine Monday and when he went out to collect the eggs last night she was dead. No sign of injury. But we were getting some double yolkers for a while. I'm not sure if she got eggbound or what. What should I look for. I am...

I didn't know who would pop first the pullets or I but the pullets beat me to it! It was hilarious the day that I went into the hospital for false labor. I told DH at least we got something! But she finally made it! Lilianna was born 11.25.08 @ 7:33pm A healthy 8lbs 3oz, 19.5in. Thanks...

Saw this on youtube and thought it was HILARIOUS! We have 2 turkeys and everyone was asking if they were for Thanksgiving... well they are just pets and this song is just what I pictured them singing to us!

It gets dark here by 4:45. The past 2 days DH has gone out to let them out and has found eggs in the nests. Yesterday we had 3 eggs in the nests and that was before he closed them in at dark. Well this morning he comes in with another one. Is it common for them to lay after dark? They just...

Ok Robin our head honcho is misbehaving really bad! I had to wrangle in the turkey who got out of the coop, and when I went into the fence Robin came up and sparred with me. I had to keep my foot up to keep him from attacking me so I could grab the rake in the coop to keep him at bay while I was...

So my girls have nest boxes but I've yet to see the big girls go in them. I do however see them scratching at the wood chips in the corners. One was making some "weird" noises scratching behind the rake in the corner. So I don't know if they're just coming up with a new way of letting me know...

I don't know how to keep the feed separate and keep the turks just on the higher protein feed. Is it ok for me to use Layer crumble mixed with Chick starter? Pullets are 16 weeks (almost 17) Turks hatched Aug 11th. so 8 weeks.

My birds are wonderful... I love them. But I was thinking as DH and my neighbor were finishing up the electric in the coop how much it would cost for each egg to make up for the cost of getting them, fixing the coop, and food. $300 + for fixing up the shed which is now the coop. $5 a block for...

I am so excited! My DH and my neighbor just finished the electric to the coop yesterday. Just in time for it to get darker earlier and get colder! They ran a 70 ft underground line from our garage to the coop and gave me a light switch for the flood lights in the garage. DH is going to change...

Captain our mixed turkey is starting to strut and I'm so excited!!! He hatched the first week in August... It's not the best picture but he doesn't do it on cue for me LOL! Does this mean Captain is a male?

This week my pullets are 16 weeks old. I'm having a race to see which of us is going to "pop" something out first... LOL! I'm 32 weeks pregnant with a history of going early so I don't know who is going to "lay their egg" first... So who's going to lay first? Anyone want to take a guess...

I got these eggs shipped to me way back when and they are supposed to be Ameraucana... I don't think so I think they are EE's. Also how in the world do I tell if they are male or female? Pretty sure boy... #1 Welsummer not sure boy or girl... #2 Roosting #3 The White one in the middle is...

The Turkey's are safe and sound in their dog crate in the coop but when they did get out about a week ago, the chickens really went after them... We always keep an eye on the coop and how the dogs react to the sounds coming out of there. Bella the golden was my clue something was wrong out...

Ok what are the chances my girls will lay around 20 weeks or wait until the weather warms up? I'm so excited that they are almost "of age" but I don't want to totally get my hopes up only to check those nest boxed everyday for 3-4 months without nearly a sign of an egg.

I have a pretty boy Robin, he's a cross between something and a frizzle. If he breeds with one of my Silkies what are the chances the offspring would come out frizzle? He shows no signs of frizzle but that's who the Mommy was...

I was out in the coop yesterday and noticed that our 3rd Roo is starting to crow... NOT A GOOD THING IN A DEVELOPMENT! So please help a chicken mama out. Anyone want a Roo. I have several bigger roosters that haven't started crowing but would be ok for meat. I think I have never processed a...
