    Chicken afraid of other chickens?????

    I don't even see them make any notice of her at all. But as soon as she sees them she runs and hides. She does OK with one other chicken on lay up.

    Chicken afraid of other chickens?????

    Processing my first chicken ~Pictures added~

    Red Laced Cornish X and project talk (pics p. 8)

    Wait! Wait! Someone in this thread said the Red Laced Cornish grow slower? I just bought a batch of eggs to hatch out with the plan to eventually breed with Rock crosses for meat chickens. Was this a bad idea?

    Question about Cornish's as meat birds......

    I am looking to raise my own meat chickens for the first time this year. I have raised other breeds for eggs and pets. From what I've read, the ideal meat bird is a Cornish/Rock cross. I'm assuming they mean a Cornish crossed with a white Plymouth Rock. Remember, this is my first time...

    Sebright bantams?

    I'm highly upset that the most beautiful chicken in the world only has a few posts. I guess that's because we're all speechless from their beauty. I have only one Silver Sebright right now, but I want to breed and show them this year. Last year I ordered eggs and got a 4 out of 12 hatch, but...

    Can I clip wings to make stay

    I had a peacock for years that stayed very close to home and he only had 4 chickens for company and I never clipped his wings. I gave him grapes and chopped up hard boiled eggs, and sometimes sliced apples and tomatoes each evening. He never went far, and he always ran to see me when I was...
