I live in a really cold cold climate especially in the winter! So when there is snow on the ground and they are locked in the coop ad unable to free range I fseed then 2x a day! But check the meat on their breast if their breast bone is not poking out a whole lot then they are getting enough To...

Well I've found out a little info on the breed! Cold tolerant that is! The golden Phoenix seems to be a little more cold tolerant than the silver! So I'm most likely going to go with the gold but I thing that if one was to make a warm enough VoIP with some insulation for winter they would most...

IDEAL is the only hatchery I use and I'm always very happy with their service! When my chicks arrive I always open my box first and look over the chicks making sure that they are alive and healthy! If any have passed away during shipment just contact the hatchery and they will refund your money...

As for breeds dominques and barred rocks are in my opinion great breeds! They don't have feathered feet and they lay nice brown eggs! But there are so many breeds to choose from! I agree with some of the posts I would maybe do some homework and find some breeds that you are interested in. Most...

I recoment IDEAL Hatchery! When I order new chicks they are the hatchery that I always use! The shipping is very reasonable and the prices are very reasonable too! There is no minimum or max number you have to order like some of the other places and just Google them! They have a website and you...

I would definitely say that you may need a few more hens with your rooster! I have about 75 chickens total and only 3 of them are roosters and my hens at times still get too much ATTN from the roosters. I'm not saying that you have to have that many but a few more would definitely help the two...
