    New coop- painted floors? Yea or nay?

    YES....paint it!! So much easier for cleanup. Chickens are MESSY!! Gloss/semi gloss. Light colors help make it easy to see mite infestations down the road too.

    svart hona are not...or should I say---do not have to be all black. As a landrace they have many variables that can shine thru....even the Ewe crazy farms rooster pictured..has a mulberry comb/wattles...if you scroll up and look...not black

    I'm startled by this. Are you sure they are not cemanis? My svart honas started laying at 5 months old and lay every single day. The only time they have stopped laying is when they have been broody.

    Svart Hona breeders- quick questions!

    Svart Hona are a landrace, not a breed --so--different colors(white tipped feathers, white/clear toenails, silver hackles(in older cockerels...), mulberry in combs is not uncommon. Gray fuzz is common in chicks as well. Some breed for landrace variety--to preserve all their...

    I Am Looking For A Surgeon To Decrow My Rooster

    I Am Looking For A Surgeon To Decrow My Rooster

    I am with the OP on this one. There is no money in it is why vets don't do it...I would think. Who is going to pay $300 to decrow a roo they paid $5 for as a chick? Not many. I have 2 roosters...rarer types...Svart Hona and Serama---and have fairly close neighbors. I AM allowed to have...

    Vitamin deficiencies can cause 'mystery' illnesses...and death----in chicks AND older birds. I went to tsc to buy feed YESTERDAY 4-23-18.......and the bag on top was dated 09/12/16. I kid you not!!! They said they regularly keep feed for one YEAR past the manufacture date. Although this...
