I am looking for a small number of Old English Game Bantams to use as brooders. Can anyone recommend a good hatchery that has broody stock and would ship around 12 birds for a reasonable price? Thanks.
Those are good birds. You won't believe how fast they grow! Mine are about 3 weeks and are flying and perching and running around in a cool shed ignoring their heat lamp most of the day. All of mine survived. They will go crazy for tiny pieces or meat or fish. I'm not sure if its good for them...
I have 50 french guinea keets. They are about 3 weeks old now, but are already flying and perching.
When can I put them outside in a pen and when can I let them free range?
I am planning a chicken run. My main predators are feral dogs. I have some 72" 2x4 welded wire fence for the main enclosure. Would it be best to bury this fence a bit or just lay 24" of chicken wire flat along the outside of the fence?
So my family has 15 acres of fields and brush and some woodland. I have an order in with meyer hatchery for the following breeds(chicks). Due to ship in mid April.
7 RIR 2 roos
7 BR 2 roos
2 NHR
2 Dom
4 BAustralorp
I want a flock that can be totally free range and reproduce on its own. Do you...
