I've tried everywhere (besides) Ebay for some of these birds...
Ever feel like parting with some, I'll eagerly pay for a chance!
Nudge nudge, wink, wink.
I'm in NWI too, I'd also like to know how much if I picked them up, and do you have any pics of the olive eggs? I'm interested in some of each. (BCM, OE's and the americunas when available.)
Lovechooks9000, the presence of this forum fostered better lives for countless animals everywhere...
The knowledge gathered here is amazing. One can learn quite a bit, and in that, provide better conditions for their birds.
You don't need a degree to own chickens, raise them, and through the...
Wish I did but it makes sense if that's how its doing it. Would need to take a batch of FF to a lab and have it tested to see what the difference really is. Much like worm composting really, they take in their "food" process it down into extremely usable forms of food for plants. Its just...
I was reading the fermenting for meaties thread, could of swore that's what was said. Whether or not its just freeing them up, don't remember. Ima look now.
This is Colonel Sanders, taken this past fall. My sister was over when she noticed Colonel running around tossing something into the air and slamming it on the ground. She had no idea chickens were omnivores, thought they just ate greens and seeds. Totally grossed her out. Even more so when I...
The first I got decided my work trailer(left the doors open) was a suitable place to hang out. No one near has chickens, couldn't figure out where it came from. So it lived in my garage for a while till I found this site, read up that 1 chicken can get quite lonely, so I bought 2 more from...

I was just about to ask about fermenting feed...lol. It has been said here that it will raise protein content by 12%, so if you're feeding or starting with a 16-18% feed, then fermenting, Yu are going over the preset "limit" of usable protein. It also allows more of the nutrient to be...
From whitmores pics, there is barely a difference in color between chocolate marans and "terra" wels eggs. They admit Marans are darker, but its very minimal. Obviously a breeder will have better stock, I am inquiring to see if there's a few out there who have them from Meyer, and if they have...
Anybody have Wellsummers from Meyer? I'm ordering from them so I can get the assortment I'm after, and was curious as to how "chocolate" their eggs are. I've heard hatchery birds eggs don't end up as dark as you'd expect. I might buy from Whitmore, as they seem to have real good stock, but its...
Any guesses? Feathers aren't as prolific on the feet though, but it's doubled in size and the comb/waddles have gotten way big too, since I found it a few months ago. Still no eggs, or crowing. Any guess to gender as well?, although I 'll figure the gennder one out eventually...lol
Geez. Faith in humanity just got a hit...who steals someone's chickens?
I'm definitely re-purchasing a trail camera, after mine was stolen...aaarrgh! Spending the extra dough for the model that sends the pics to a "black box" so if the camera gets stolen you still get the pics of the theif...
Ok, well having an issue posting pics, seems if I start a thread, nothing happens with the embedding part...so I figure i'd ask my fellow hoosiers.
This is Col. Sanders, my first chicken (was homeless and decided my work trailer looked like a good coop) I haven't gotten an egg yet, doesn't...
Haha, who gives a live coyote as a gift?
Hey, gotcha something, careful unwrapping it, it may be hungry...
I guess I could make a sweet rug, or blanket, would be cool on the basement/man cave wall. There's no way i'ma wait till october to remove these pests from this area...my son rides his...
