Hi all, Summer just gone i rased 3 meat chickens and enjoyed it, both rasing and eating nice meat. My question is, dose anyone on here know of a breader that sells chickens that will be ready to prosess in about 8-10 weeks? I had naked necks this year, but i want to do more so need them to grow...

Wow, they are little eating monsters! Thanks for your input.

Hi everyone. I'm getting (hopefully) some day old chicks on Monday. So I have everything ready, I would like to know how much good to get. I don't want to get loads and have it leftover, but I don't want to get to little and have to get more. I'm planing on getting 4 chicks to keep for...

Thanks for all your input. My mum and dad have a large dog cage that they don't use and said I can have that to raise them in. I'm planing to have them in there for 4 weeks then have them outside in day time until we get nice weather all the time. The lamps/box melting and catching fire does...

Yeah, I have started to build a bigger run for my flock. At the moment I have 3 girls and hope to get about 3 day olds in a few weeks. I have learnt the hard way about having the water at chest height. I think I read it on here somewhere? I was changing the water 2-3 times a day because it was...

1 egg from 3 hens. One girl has not started laying any yet though.

Thanks for the info guys, the wood I'm going to burn is parts of trees I've cut back and some roots from bushes and trees I've dug out. So should be OK?

When people say they use wood ash, is that ash form any wood? I've got lots of stuff to burn in the yard and would like to treat my chicks to something new.

Hi all. I'm planing to build a new run in the new year and was thinking of going with deep litter. I have read a few other threads on here and other sites but only really found people saying they used it in the coop and nothing about in the run. My question is can it be done in the run and...

Hi, sorry it took so long to reply. I've not had time due to work being busy. I have looked on Google for the breeds that you have suggested and most of the photos that come back look like my girls. (I really like the look of the male Faverolles! If I didn't have so many neighbours I would...

Yes, I'm in the UK. Is there different names for different places in the world?

Hi everyone. I got my first hens a few months ago and in the excitement of picking them up I have forgotten the breads the breeder said they were. Would love any help so I can look into the breads a bit more. Here is a photo I took the other day: I think the one at the back is a...
