We have extra laying hens. 6 feather footed Cochin's (3 black and 3 black/white). Great brown egg layers and only 8 months old, so they recently started laying. Very tame, handled by a 3 and 5 year old since birth, and always babied. I've never fed them extra additives and they've freeranged in...

I have 6 chickens for sale: 2 roosters about 13 weeks old. One Maran and one Black Cochin. http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o88/halvey1/DSC00492.jpg http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o88/halvey1/DSC00494.jpg 1 Black Cochin - 13 weeks old. I think it's a rooster, but it may turn out to be...

I have 2 kids, who just turned 3 and 5. Should I take them to their great grandma's funeral and/or visitiation? The visitiation will be open casket. The funeral mass will have the casket in church, not open then we will proceed to the cemetary. My kids have never been to a cemetary. Now...

Small animal swap meet 6AM-Noon, May 17, Goodhue Co fairgrounds in Zumbrota.

My 25 chicks are supposed to be mailed out this week. I have a 44" x 44" box setup with 15" sides and bedding in my garage. about 2/3 of it is covered with a hinged top and the rest has an old screen over it. I have a 250 watt heat lamp over the screened part in a draft free 40 degree (night)...

I have about a one acre "pasture" that has mature elms plus some evergreens, bushes and seedlings I planted growing. I used to mow under there, but because of all the trees, it'd take literally 3 hours just for that area. So, the past 2 years I've just let it grow up. My plan was to put sheep...

I am ording my chicks and thought about using this Gro Gel stuff: http://www.welphatchery.com/otr%20prdcts/grogel.asp Anyone use anything like this? It's cheap enough at least... How about vitamins? http://www.welphatchery.com/otr%20prdcts/vitamin.asp...

I'm ordering chicks in the next few weeks and so far, here's what I think we're going to get: 5 Buff Orps hens (because we already have 3 that are a year old and really like them) 5 Maran hens - my daughter likes the dark egg color 5 Ameracuana hens - again, my daughter thinks the colored...

We have 2 pygmys that are about 10-11 months old. I know it's not typically done, but can these be butchered? How much meat can I expect from a 40 lb live weight goat? What's a fair price to process? I'd be sending these to a processor and probably just get sausage made. Any help is appreciated.

My daughter will be 5 in the summer and we are thinking about getting her started in the 4H Cloverbuds program in the fall. Has anyone had their kids through it? Is it worth the time? From what I see it's more "craft" oriented, and see the value in it, but is there an agricultural aspect to...

I have about a half acre to maybe one acrea area behind my place I'd like to keep "mowed". I have 2 pygmy goats and was thinking of getting one full sized sheep. I'd get one lamb in the spring and once winter hits, I'd either sell or butcher the sheep. The goats are pets and would be sharing...

Last week, one of our four Buff Orpingtons got real lethargic. At first I thought she may be getting ready to lay, but after a few days I noticed she didn't move around much at all. She'd just slowly peck at the food and slowly drink. She just kept slowing down more and more and on Saturday...

Anyone know what's up with it? I haven't been able to get in for a few days now.

I am looking at getting these cornish chickens for meat birds in the spring: http://www.welphatchery.com/cornish_rock.asp I was thinking 2 runs. The first 25 chicks, then if it goes good, 100 chicks Now I hear things like you loose 1/3 before butchering. Is that right? Is it that high? So...

I have 4 Buff orpingtons. How many next boxes (sections) should I make for them? I was thinking 12"x12"x12" per bird would work, but not sure if they "share" a box or not. Any help is appreciated!

Two nights ago, one of my bantam roosters was not to be found. I figured he'd seen his last day. The next morning, there he was. So I figure he bedded under the barn or something. Last night, one of my bantam hens did not return to the coop, so I wondered what was going on. I found her 12...

One of my bantams has her left leg injured. She's about 6 weeks old and favors it, but occasionally will (lightly) put her weight on it. She will also sometimes curl her toes and walk on the "ankle" part of her leg. She's eating and drinking, and seems to mostly lay down and rest, although...

I have a flock of 15 young bantam chickens. They are all "supposed" to be hens, but were too early to sex according to the lady I got them from. Right now, they are about as big as a quail. I have a chance to add 5-10 normal sized hens described as follows: Production red from McMurray...
