I noticed last year that sales of chicks and young birds were practically non-existent until Tractor Supply ended their Chick Days. They're willing to take a loss on selling pullets for $2.99, in order to sell feed and other supplies. So I inquired as to when Chick Days would end. I was told...

Flies are very annoying pests. So I bought a fly shotgun. Pure bliss. I put some of the available options on this page.

I was just mixing up mash for my birds when I heard the loud rustling of feathers. I assumed that Blackfoot was mating one of his hens. There was more squawking than usual coming from the peanut gallery. I thought that he might be trying to mate one of the 2 month old pullets so I walked over. I...

These young birds are being conditioned to overcome their instinct to avoid wading in water. Once they realize how good it feels on a 95 degree day, they will eventually make use of the deeper shady wading areas that I provide. The water really sucks the heat out of their legs. Big Mama camps...

The Sunflower and Purslane are superfoods.

Barred Rock genes are overwhelming in just about any mix. I'm now hatching some 87% Dixie Rainbow birds and their genes are finally dominating. Their daddy is white and about 12 pounds. Their momma weighs 12 pounds. The oldest batch is about 2 months old. I hatched 5 of these Florida Golds and...

This is a crossbreed project inspired by the Delaware breed. The Delaware were created from white sports that resulted from mating a Barred Rock rooster to a New Hampshire hen. I crossed my Barred Rock roo with Dixie Rainbow, which look similar to New Hampshire but instead of 5 to 6 pounds...

Yoda is totally respectful of my birds.

My bigger birds learned about the delights of wading in water to cool off but my younger birds are staying under the low, bushy palms when temps hit 95 degrees. I just ordered this mister and I'm going to set it up over that palm. Have you tried a mister or do you have any other techniques for...

Oh about 12 pounds. I ordered a scale to see how much my Big Mama weighs. It read 11.96 once I got all her toes on the scale. She went broody a week ago and won't hardly eat now. I wonder how much weight she lost this week? What does your heaviest hen weigh?

Blackfoot posing with my extremely rare Rainbow Rock DoubleEnder. She eats a lot and lays no eggs.

You are probably going to get a good variety of colors from these eggs. Do not buy them unless you want big birds because I think these will be very large. More about this breed in this thread. One dozen (12) hatching eggs for $18. Shipping is $12.80 to all 50 states. Start a flock of Rainbow...
