When feeding we try to feed more in the morning so they have more time to clean up. We feed less at night if any. If I scatter grain outside it's far from the building so rats have to go into the open to get it and risk owl or cat attacks. In grass cutting season, as soon as I'm done cutting...

Good Morning We have an Ameraucana roo and some Barred Rock hens and Delaware hens. If we breed the roo to them does that make sexlinked EEs? I know the Barred hen works for a sexlink but I'm not sure about the Ameraucana. Thanks IHP

Good Morning We have a young Crested Cream Legbar roo and some Barred Rock hens and Delaware hens. I know they won't be autosexing (at least I don't expect that). If I breed these will roos and hens be barred? I'm looking for Barred EEs. Thanks IHP

We keep about 8 breeds. Brahmas are probably our favourites. Very friendly. They eat a lot less feed but love pasture than our other birds. We have 15 5 month olds on a pasture we normally raise muscovy ducklings on. The pasture is still green. That many ducks would have normally trashed it...

Thanks Broody I recently noticed 2 of the hens have small bald spots on the backs of their heads. I'm hopeful that's from him and not the chickens establishng pecking order. We've still only seen him mating them once. Maybe he's shy :). I guess we can try letting them keep their eggs...

Hi We have 1 muscovy drake with 3 muscovy hens. They've been together for 4 weeks. We've only seen him mating one of them. He seems fairly mature. Pretty large carnuncle. How long do we need to let them mate before we can expect the eggs to be fertile? Right now we're collecting the eggs...

Thanks for your help. I'll start counting the weekly output. IHP

Hi We have 12 Frey's Special Dual Purpose hens. They are almost 8 months old. They have been laying for 2 - 3 months. Our egg count ranges from 4 - 10 eggs. They have a large run. I have been searching for hidden eggs and only found one. Does it make sense for their production to range...
