I have a business selling eggs as well. I use all Barred Rocks, but also recommend sex-links. Make sure you get good quality birds, as they will pay for themselves by being good layers. Barred Rocks are very calm, great in cold weather, lay year round, lay nice big brown eggs, and the cockerels...

It depends partly on the breed. My Barred Rocks have never flown out of a 4' fence, though I am putting netting over it to keep hawks and eagles out.

Its great to have you on the site! I live in extreme northwestern Washington State, so cold but not as cold as Anchorage. I like the Barred Plymouth Rock for a cold weather layer. Egg laying ducks like the Indian Runner are excellent cold weather layers that need very little shelter, are hardy...

After taking coffeekittie's advice a month ago, I have had no trouble with him at all. I backed him down once, and have had no trouble with him since and he now fallows me around. I am 6'6", so when I spread my arms out and stand up, I am very big.

Quote: When I said I was being friendly, I meant I like him and would like to keep him alive. I am training him to respect me. I have also never backed down, but I also never get aggressive with him. Also, he was only for sale because his owner was moving.

I just bought a pair of year old Bourbon Reds for breeding. I was told the tom was aggressive. He didn't seam bad at the time, but has gotten steadily worse. He has bitten me many times, which I don't mind much since he has only drawn blood once, but is now following me and attacking just...

Turkeys should not be fed less then 16% protein, including forage. For fattening eating birds, 21% to 28% protein feed should be used. If you want to really fatten the BBBs, have a light on 24/7, and feed them 28% fed right up to butcher time. The Bourbon Reds can be fed less protein (especially...

I have a large laying flock of Barred Rocks, and that is a Barred Rock.

I am new to turkeys, but have many other animals on my dairy sheep and egg farm and have researched turkeys. I have a pair of breeding Bourbon Reds, that were bred right before I bought them. I have read on BYC that a hen will lay up to 100 eggs per year if you keep taking them away. Hatching...

I have 5-acres of pasture fenced with 4' field fencing. I know they can't go through, but can they go over? My tom and hen are a year old and roughly 20lbs and 10-15lbs. Thanks for any information.

I live in northwest Washington State, and have Bald Eagles passing over at least twice a day. I have a 5-acre sheep pasture that I would love to put them in, if the eagles aren't a threat. The pasture is open and flat, with no place to hide. My Bourbon Red tom and hen are a year old, and are...

I have used the BYC forum for info many times, but am now a member. I am starting a small poultry business with my younger brother, and also live on and run a sheep dairy. I have dairy sheep, dairy goats, 4 Fawn & White Indian Runners, 26 Barred Rocks, one Serama/Sebright pullet, and a pair of...
