    Michigan Thread - all are welcome!

    Well we said we were going to wait. We were going to wait until the thawed out just a little bit. But darn it if those little fluff balls didn't get me at TSC. So now we have 26 black sex-linked chickens. None of them have a white spot on their head so we're hoping they're all female (please...

    Which Duck Breed Fits us Better?

    Okay, so my husband and I want to get into ducks for eggs and meat, mostly eggs and we'll eat any spare drakes. We're debating between Indian Runners or Khaki Campbells. There's an Indian Runner breeder nearby, and he says he's getting great egg production, and that his ducks don't fly...

    Resuce chickens!

    Thanks for all the replies! All the chickens have been dusted for mites, dewormed and sprayed with PoultryAid (Tractor Supply was out of Blue-Kote). Here's a picture of one of the hen's back, those black spots are new feathers right? I've never had to deal with sick/injured chickens before...

    Resuce chickens!

    My husband and I brought home 11 rescue chickens, they were living without food and there were WAY too many roosters in such a small space, needless to say the hens are missing a ton of feathers on their backs and the Polish chickens are missing head feathers. We brought home the 11 we were...
