It's been a LONG time since I've been on byc! Hope everyone is well and enjoying the beginning of fall
We have had a year full of experimenting with our poultry and have decided to buy/ build a chicken plucker. Eyeballing the one all set to go from strombergs.
I would love to hear any input...
That's sad. I'm sorry. Would you like the black sizzle to make up for it. The stink crowed this morning. That makes 8 silkie boys in a row.*(&%@#$.... I give up on broody silkie hunting. I'll never have one. So now that my scovie are laying I'm rooting for them to go broody by the spring. They...
I'm sold on wetting all food. No waste is important and I like adding to their hydration.
I'm debating going back to all flock with the high cost of grain. It is a bit smelly wet but I'll just do it at the coop rather than how I mixed the grain in the laundry .lol
I just decided with this last azure order to drop my whole grains. I have been splitting 1/2 soaked whole grains and 1/2 soaked crumble but the prices have jumped that it's not within my budget anymore I'm lowering the portions a bit every day until the 150 lbs I have run out. Kinda sad as I...
Yikes! We don't need any more boys round here lol. Can't wait till fall to send ours off to the butcher. But nice to see another person close by. Placerville is 45-50 min away
Hahaha. Super cute oicture.
That's so sad. I am sorry you lost the rex. My daughter finally got the ok to select a breed of rabbit and the biggest warning we are getting is the heat over the cold. So for us that's not so daunting since cold us our larger climate extreme. I hope whoever shut off the mist isn't to hard on...
Hey all,
Long time no chat-
My daughter is wanting to keep a few rabbit in our turkey hoop house. Any breeders in the area?
She is interested in lop ,Californian or possibly harliquin. Actually she will be persuaded t ward a rabbit that can take the tahoe winter's with the turkey. Any...
Yikes that's hot! Hope everyone stays cool. Up here its been almost 80 which is a surprise for us. The sizzle and frizzle serama have become 5he mama's of the grow out coop. At first the sizzle was a horror to everyone to protect the serama. Once she calmed down I could add younger and younger...
I realize this post is old but I hope you receive notification of my quote. Is your 30x40 foot yard small enough to keep the hens from flying out. I had read they need a bit of running space to clear a 6 ft fence?
Thanks..
My best collar was 4 inch industrial velcro from amazon. Next time I will sew fleece on the inside because it did blister his neck. I ended up sending him away for bad manners. The problem is always when a collar would slip to far up or down more than how tight it was. A finger able to slip...
I have moved on to telling dh " oh those are going to the butcher in the fall"....
I have a trio of white. They are only a few months old. LOVE them so far. Do you like them for meat or eggs? I have not had either yet....
