I feel your "no money" pain!! Wish I could afford to donate one to you! I really didn't want to sell my bators or my turner. But, we need the extra $$ for Christmas.

Hi Shelly,
According to Google, it is about 220 miles between Columbia, KY and McKenzie, TN (where I live... LOL)! Were you interested in all three, two, or one??
Please keep in mind that there is one other person who has contacted me about these. And, I don't mean to be ugly, but the first...

Thanks for all the replies and interest!!
Hello All,
I've not been on here in quite some time. Because of my declining health, I've had to get rid of all my chickens. Since I am no longer physically...

Yea, Wally-World sells something called a water wiggler that is not the toy. It is in the lawn and garden section (from what I have been told), and I don't know what it is used for.... probably for the same thing you said.

Thanks Randy. It may be something in the water. But, we live in the country and have well water (I forgot to mention that before). So, I know it's not chlorine in the water. I actually have two of the waters that are the same age, and the other one is showing no signs of rust at all. That...
I use a Little Giant, 5 gallon, galvanized water fountain to water my chickens with. I've only had it about 4 or 5 months and it is already rusting. I've never had trouble with rust in anything that was galvanized. Do any of you have any idea on how I can stop the rusting?? Anything short of...

I am assuming that by keel line, you are referring to the vertical line that runs atop the bone in the center of breast. Is that correct?? If so, I remembered you telling me that. But, is it also standard for them to have a line running the length of their back that is bare in...
Thanks BirdBrain. With all their bare spots and missing feathers, they sure aren't as pretty as my Buff Orpingtons were. But, I'm sure they will look a lot better once their feathers grow enough to cover their bodies.

As of today, I've had the Dark Cornish 5 weeks. And, all 27 of the boys are doing fine. During those 5 weeks, the 27 boys have devoured exactly 100 lbs. of feed. That's about 3.71 lbs. of feed per bird! They can really eat.... and poop!!
Those who have been following the progress of these...
Good luck to you Julie!!! Hatching your own chicks is a lot of fun (well mixed with plenty of anxiety)!!
Just don't forget that the PC fan will probably not be one that can be used with 110 AC house current. It will probably be 12 volt DC current. For it, you will need a power supply that...

Personally I like dark more than light meat; my husband, not so much so, but if he's not the one growing the chickens and cooking them then he doesn't get as much of a vote
Freedom Rangers sound good except that I had understood them to be Wisconsin based and I am in Canada. Even if...
There is a hen..... and come to think of it, I believe that it is the one in the pic by herself, who I see with a feather in her mouth just about all the time. I won't be able to watch her much today. We are having a lot of thunderstorms around here. A few years ago I was standing under a...
I have 13 Buff Orpington hens and 3 roosters. They are about 7 1/2 months old. Until shortly after the time when they started laying, they were a beautiful orange/gold. Now, they have developed very light colored spots on them. I'm sure the sun hasn't bleached their feathers out that way...
What kind of chicken/s do you have that you are going to allow to hatch the quail eggs? I don't know how well standard size chickens will do. A few years ago, I had a friend that kept bantam chickens and quail. He let the bantams hatch his quail eggs and said that they were a lot more...
Thanks for the compliment, pawtraitart!! I would tell the boys what you said, but I'm afraid that it would make their heads swell!!

Alright.... I'll put whatever is left over in a jar and mail it to you!! Now, you go hold your breath and wait for them..... ok????
