    Freshness after processing

    How long can a freshly processed turkey stay in a cooler on ice before it has to go in the freezer? If I have my birds processed tomorrow (Wednesday) can they stay in the cooler or fridge until thanksgiving or do I need to freeze them after 3, 5, etc. days of resting in the cooler?

    Early morning squawking hen

    good morning all, We have a RIR hen (about 1.5 years) that in the last 2 weeks has begun squawking (very similar to their egg song) beginning at 6am and continuing on and off for 2-3 hours. We live in a suburban neighborhood and the legality of our chickens by way of the HOA is precarious at...

    Roosting ON TOP of the coop

    Okay, so we have two hens, one RIR and one BA both about 6 months old that sleep on top of the coop about 3 out of 5 nights and it's driving me crazy! The other four (1 RIR, 1 BA, 2 EE) all go in the coop and hop on the roosts just fine. This issue has been going on, on and off, since they came...

    1 of 6 roosting on the coop

    Good evening all, We have 6 hens (2 EE, 2 RIR, 2 BA) that are all around 5 1/2 months. They've been out in their living area (coop + covered run + 250 sq. foot fenced in area) for about 2 1/2 months now. They all took to the coop pretty easily when we moved them out but we occasionally had a...

    Dorking or wishful thinking?

    Hello fine chicken folks! We’re trying to figure out what Cleopatra here is (so named because of the “eye liner” as a chick). We hatched her from some eggs we got from a local farm as a 4H project. As she grew we noticed the 5 toes and as an amateur chickener myself (this is our first go around)...

    Confirming Gender

    Good evening all! I'm curious, aside from having you fine folks give your (educated) opinions is there another way to have gender confirmed? I ask because we live in an area that does not allow roosters and I know we have 2 and 2 others are possibilities. I don't want to wait for a crow to find...

    Gender on first 3 of 6 4-H EErs

    Good evening all, We hatched 6 chicks we received through 4-H. I posted yesterday but have more pictures now so here’s the onslaught of photos. We’re mainly looking for gender as we live in an area that doesn’t allow roos but I’ll take any breed info as well. I’ve been told they’re all EE Mutts...

    Chicken genders/breeds

    Hello all, We hatched 6 chickens from eggs we received from 4-H. She named a few breeds she had and said she mainly had "muts" and easter eggers. We're more curious about the gender than the breed because we're not allowed to have roosters but we'll take any information/opinions you fine folks...
