    Lavender Orpingtons/choosing the best cock?

    I hope this is the right place for this. I could really use some opinions on which of these 5 Lavender Orpington cockerels I should keep as my breeder. They where hatched in spring this year and one is a few weeks younger than the others (I am not sure which). Orange band has already slipped his...

    "Jack" the Naked Neck Rooster

    The naked chickens are actually about making their lives better not worse! They are intended for very hot climates where cooling is a serious and costly issue. It has nothing to do with them being 'oven ready".

    grannys gone and done it

    Just a thought on the odd smelling chicken, did you remove the gland at the base of the tail? I have heard leaving it can make bad tasting/smelling meat when cooked.

    You can totally rotate the video on youtube after you upload it. Just play around in the settings/editing section and you will find it. I do it all the time as my cam randomly rotates videos sometimes as well :)

    building paradise for the birds

    I haven't tried a hoop coop yet, but my favorite quick and cheap coop is a used dog kennel. You can find them in classifieds/online all the time for pretty cheap. Usually they are 10'x10 or 12'12' and all you need to do is wrap the lower half with predator proof wire of your choice(make a 1'-2'...

    First time worming questions.

    Thank you, I had no idea you could see them like that! the youngest showing symptoms is 23 weeks old so I will try that with her around dusk so it will be easier to see if it works. If it does I will try to take pictures. So the treatment is 0.3ml per kg for 5 days, do I repeat after 10 days...

    First time worming questions.

    Thank you very much! I realize that gapeworms are rare but some chickens show symptoms (gaping, wheezing, raspy voice) with no nasal or ocular discharge or other indicators of ill health. I live on a property frequented by ring necks. They even do their mating displays here. The area my coop and...

    First time worming questions.

    My chickens show symptoms of gapeworms, other illnesses have been ruled out, and they have indirect contact with the local wild ring neck pheasants who are known to carry and spread gapeworms. I have also been told time and time again by breeders and other chicken keepers that they worm their...

    First time worming questions.

    I'm worming my chickens for the first time this spring and I have a few important questions first. I was able to find Safegaurd 10% paste and Piperazine dihyrochloride 53% powder. I am also 99% positive that some of the flock has gape worms. Which product would be the best to use? What dose and...

    Life In The Land Of Summer~

    Phew! Long absence again haha. I've been busy with chicks hatching on NYD and processing all of the cockerels except for Marcus and chester last week. Things are much quieter here now with the hatchlings moved to an outdoors brooder and only two voices crowing. All of the young ladies have...

    6th Annual BYC New Year's Day 2015 Hatch-A-Long

    Thanks This was my first hatch and 24 out of 29 hatched. I think it helps them zip easier as the egg provides more resistance to their movements, but they do seem to have a bit of a difficult time actually getting out of the shell sometimes once they finish zipping. It also has the bonus of...
