    Which roosters are best?

    I've had several roosters. Our Rhode Island Red rooster was the most aggressive. When he chased the 6 year old granddaughter across the back yard, he had to go. I now have an Amberlink, Cosmo. He is friendly, takes good care of the girls and has never been aggressive in the 3 years I've had him.

    People with more than 10 chickens

    I average 25 -40 chickens. My hen house is an 8x10 room in the barn that we converted to a coop. It easily holds 40 when we are at capacity. Right now we are at 26 chickens. Next year I will probably restock with another dozen. We have a separate smaller coop also in the barn for babies. Both...

    Why Do You Use Deep Bedding/Why Do You NOT Use Deep Bedding?

    I only do this in the winter when the snow is deep. My chickens live in an 8x10 insulated room in the barn. Right now the snow is too deep to wheel a wheelbarrow through so about every 2 days I toss in a couple flakes of straw. This helps with a clean layer on the floor and gives the chickens...

    How much do your birds eat?

    I have about 25 chickens. I have aluminum garbage cans that hold 3 50 pound bags of pellets. It takes 6-8 weeks for them to empty the can. They are free range, so they eat a lot less in the summer when they are busy scrounging for worms and bugs. I found I have much less waste feeding...

    Are little eggs normal first few weeks or forever?

    My last spring babies laid little eggs for about a month, then they got bigger. I call them practice eggs. The length of time for practice eggs seems to vary with each new batch of chicks. Kids love the little eggs!

    Official BYC Poll: How Long Have You Been Raising Chickens?

    We started with 6 for the grandkids who use to spend most of the summer with us. We vary between 25 to 35 now, who free range over 6 acres. We converted a partially finished office space in the barn into a chicken coop. With insulation and drywall we only have to supply supplemental heat when...

    Help for chick

    Thank you Chick Nanny. I got some Nutri Drench yesterday and gave her some. I'll repeat it for a few days. They were not vaccinated for Mareks. I'm working on a video, but she seems to be walking better, just having trouble with her balance, almost like her legs are weak. I've been giving...

    Help for chick

    I have 17 approximately 6 week old chicks, in a separate coop from the big chickens. About 10 days ago one of the Americanas start acting strange. She walks like she is drunk and has trouble staying upright. When she sleeps with the other chicks, she lays on her side with her feet stuck out...

    Do chicken eggs sell?

    The word just spread that I sold eggs. One of the ladies I sell to at the gym works in a retail fabric store and brought them to work with her and stored them in the refrigerator while she was working. One of her co-workers asked her about them and now she buys eggs from me too. But I have...

    Do chicken eggs sell?

    Hi Gamefowl I have a small flock of 17 chickens, assorted varieties, but all great egg layers. (I started with 4). I began selling eggs by giving my workout partner at the gym a dozen eggs once or twice a week as I had too many for us to eat. Others noticed and asked if I would sell them...
