    Debeaked chicks

    Debeaking- the truth I was always of the opinion that debeaking was cruel, but after raising a flock of 300 through a maine winter I started to think more and more about it. My hens free range all through spring, summer and fall but the winters here are just too cold. During the free range...

    Murder in my yard again

    Tell the neighbors that the next time their dog is on your property you will shoot it. It is perfectly within your rights to do so and where I come from it would be expected. I had a pair of huskies kill 15 of my chickens one day. They got away before I could do much. Surely enough they came...

    Does anyone have a picture of a Black Australorp (?)

    Post a pic for positive ID. But sounds like a black sex link maybe. A true australorp would have no tan feathers.

    Back from the show, look what I found.

    These remind me of those cats with stubby legs. A useless animal that wouldn't survive evolution without human intervention.

    In my neck of the woods a hen just coming in to lay (20-25 weeks) goes for $8-12 and you can't give roos away. Maybe it's different where you are

    I collect approximately 21 dozen eggs a day from my flock of 324 hens and 5 roosters. Of course I don't bake with many so I sell the rest;)

    Curled Toes and Swollen (twisted?) Hock *Pics*

    I've gotten three chicks like this. The best thing to do honestly is kill them. I tried to save the first two like this and they just suffered. Couldn't get up enough to eat and drink properly. Made the wife do the deed with the third..she's tough....

    overwhelmed with eggs

    I sell 90 dozen eggs every 5 days at whole foods market in portland maine. Contact the dairy manager at a local supermarket, they will usually be excited to buy local eggs. The catch is you generally need to provide your own, non second hand, packaging. I just buy flat top cartons online and...

    what to do with my roos

    Though I don't relish slaughtering the roosters the only reason they will live is for breeding. I hate all the noise and many roosters seem to see my 2.5 year old as fair game for venting their aggression. Albeit I do find them to often be much more beautiful birds than my hens...

    New Hampshire reds and other stuff

    I was under the impression that birds who feather out more quickly and develop their combs/wattles first will start laying first. But you are saying early maturation doesn't equal earlier egg laying? are you sure on this?

    what to do with my roos

    My roos are: 1 RIR 2 New hampshire reds 2 white leghorns 2 australorps 1 ameraucana all are approximately 3.5 months. Surprisingly one of the new hampshires is easily 2 lbs heavier than all the others. It sounds like putting them toghether may work after all if there are no ladies present...
