Chicken Transport 🐓 🚗
I have been thinking about what I would do in an emergency if I needed to quickly transport birds. I found these online... they are 24x16x11.5 and are collapsible for storage. It’s used for produce, but I wonder if it would work for birds as well? Each crate can hold 60lbs and is cheeper than...- Tandy B

Naked Neck/Turken Thread
Farm supply store. I have no idea which hatchery they pull from. I'm guessing at the 4-5 weeks. I picked up some birds from the pullet bins 3.5 weeks ago. This one was mostly fluffy down with the wings coming in. I can't keep him if it's a boy. City requires us to be on 1/2 acre or...- Tandy B

I have zero experience with NN's, so I am coming to the experts. Super sweet bird about 4-5 weeks. Cockerel??? Bought as a pullet, but you know how that goes. Gotta love those soft, sweet eyes.- Tandy B

That's what I did too, because knowing my luck I'd end up with a boy - and I did... again. It just stinks when you have a good bird you can't keep.- Tandy B

My IFA curse is not coming home with extra chicks; it's coming home with the boys when I can only have gals. Looks like my sweet 4 week old Turken chick is turning into quite a handsome boy. If anyone would like him before I take him back to IFA, please let me know. He's a super sweet guy...- Tandy B

I'm taking my two birds back to IFA tomorrow. If you buy from the pullet box and they turn out to be cockerels, IFA will take them back and try to resell them. You don't get your money back, but at least there is a chance that they will get to a home that wants a rooster . They said the...- Tandy B

3 out of 7, that's rough. I'd love to be able to keep mine , but the city doesn't allow roos if you have under an acre. I have someone on some acreage in Tremonton that said they were willing to take any boys we get to integrate into their flock. I hope I'm not pushing it by offering them...- Tandy B

RJ - Good to know. Looks like I'm hitting the 80% mark. I got 10 birds and 2 look to be male. If anyone is interested, I will probably need to be rehoming a Speckled Sussex and possibly an Australorp. Not allowed to have Roosters :-/ Pretty sure at 5 weeks the below SS is male.- Tandy B

Just curious what everyone's luck has been with buying chicks from IFA - meaning how often have you gotten a cockerel when you've purchased pullets? I've got a SS that is looking pretty manly.- Tandy B

I'll avert my eyes, but maybe peek through my fingers. . I'm thinking this would be a great image for this site's calendar. How about a new calendar "The Men of Backyard Chickens". You could be Mr. March.- Tandy B

Hi Everyone! I have been lurking/stalking this page for the past couple months and realized that if I ever had a question or concern no one would know who I am. I feel like I know people here, but no one even knows that I exist so it's time to come out of the shadows. My name is Tandy and...- Tandy B
