Old English Game Bantams are a lot of fun. That would be my choice. When my sons were young we showed Old English Game Bantams. If you plan to show them I would start with the solid colors like the Blacks would be good. When you get into the BB Red Old English you will be going up against...

I guess so. They may even be losing money on them just to get people to come into the store as you suggest.

Makes you wonder how anyone can sell eggs for .99 per dozen and come close to breaking even. I don't know what kind of eggs they are but there is no way that I would sell eggs for that kind of money. That was in their newspaper insert this past Sunday, Jan 15th.

I built a 12X10 foot metal building with a concrete floor last March and started with 24 Barred Rock chicks. I built a 360 square foot run covered with poultry netting. I built my own 14'X14" nests, Installed thermopane windows (left over from a building project. My barred rocks started laying...

How do you folks cook older birds that may be several years old?

What do most of you do when you bring new birds home to meet the other chickens?

Flowerchild said she would not go back to a smoker that used wood???? Traeger is a wood pellet burning smoker. Traegers are good smokers if you don't care about smoke flavor. It is mainly used as a chicken cooker in competition circles if used at all. The biggest complaint with serious cooks is...

Not only can you cook incredible chicken but you can also cook high end restaurant quality ribs, briskit and Boston Butts on this cooker. You can also take it to competitionn cooking events and compete with the best. I have a top of the line Traeger, a Meadow Creek smoker, a number of gas grills...

If you go to any competition BBQ cooking events you will not see any of the smokers listed above. If you want a smoker that does not cost you an arm and a leg and one that you can compete with then look no further than a Webber Smokey Mountain Smoker. Buy the 22" smoker. You will probably be...

Cabela's sells an air rifle made by GAMO called the Silent Stalker Whisper IGT. It shoots a .177 caliber pellet and comes with a noise dampener. You could resolve your rooster problem and also use this gun to protect your flock from preditors and other harmful varmits.

Unless it is a large land to chicken ratio the chickens will devour it in fairly short order. Chickens will work it over and eat ever green sprout of grass. Maybe that is your goal which will be very good for the chickens. Good luck.

I now have one rooster and 24 hens. I will try the duct tape suggestion if the condition continues. Thanks for all of the suggestions.

Before I buy saddles I will just chop three heads off. That is a lot cheaper.

I have several hens that are losing a lot of feather off their backs where the tail feather start. Not the tail feathers but on the back nearest the tail feathers. I think that the Roosters may be doing a lot of it or either then hens are picking out their own feathers. They are barred rocks and...

HaHa. It is amazing what two glasses of wine will do to you

MXPres, you are not too far from my neck of the woods. Which hatchery did you get your comets from?

What does "X2" mean???

Yes. I have 400 sq ft of covered run. With shade.

I have a new chicken house that is 120 sq. ft. I currently house 24 layers in that house. I have 3 roosting poles that are 12 foot long. How many standard layers can I get in the house without over crowding?

Thanks for your response. I currently have Plymouth Barred Rocks. I have had several flocks of Barred Rocks but I can't get the eggs out of them that I need. Did you get yours from Cackle Hatchery?
