    eFowl buyers???

    Why don't you sue them for stealing your pics? If they have used your pics for financial gain seems like you have a case ...just sayin'. At the very least, tell them to take your pics down - or pay you for them - or threaten to sue them ...that's copyright theft ...even if you don't copyright...

    How keep a minimum number of chickens when buying from hacheries???

    I think Ideal Poultry lets you order as few as 1 of any breed ...they have an order minimum of $25 & shipping is very reasonable. They're out of a lot of chicks right now but will have more in May - July. I have never ordered from them - we just got our first chicks a week ago from Tractor...

    Do hen chicks really get their wing and tail feathers first?

    I read somewhere that 'feather sexing' is reliable for SOME breeds, NOT all ...but am under the impression it must be done in the first few days ...don't really know myself
