So a week ago I looked at the map for chicken laws to show where chickens are allowed and now I can't get it off my Google maps. Can anyone help me remove the markers? I can't figure it out!
Hello! I was hoping to find some locals in or around Wilson, NC we will be moving down there end of May this year! Maybe some tips on good areas to look in that allow chickens and livestock. 😁
A friend of mine is looking to add
2 female Cayuga Ducks
to her flock but the few places she found has a huge minimum order fee or won't ship duck with chicks.
Does anyone have suggestions?
Thanks!
I wasn't 100% sure where I should put this question if it should be in the butchering section or the recipe section. But I am processing a rooster and I want to make bone broth from it do I still have to let it rest or because it's just the bones and a little bit of meat and neck can I put it...
Help me settle a friendly debate, a friend sent me this picture of their chicken.
I think Rhode Island Red Rooster.
They think because no spurs it's hen.
So I ordered 3 sexed pullet Speckled Sussex from a hatchery. This one is looking cockrelish to me. It's missing some tail feathers due to an infected preen gland that is now healed.
13weeks old
So I have a decent sized Blue/Balck/splash Easter Egger Rooster. "SMOKEY"
Then I have 5 Cockrels that are Maran or Maran mixes.
Most of my Hens & Pullets are Dual purpose except the few EE I have.
I am trying to decide which Rooster would be best for my main flock.
In the past I've kept...
I have this pullet chick she hatched on June 21st from Ideal Poultry.
She has been having issues growing tail feathers and today I noticed she was bloody & a swollen preen gland. I'm not sure if she is plucking at it or if the other chicks are plucking too. I'm going to seperate her tomorrow...
This chick is 5.5 weeks old it's a mix so I'm having trouble sexing it. I read want it to be a pullet because I love it but I'm afraid it's a cockrel lol
Cuckoo Maran Daddy the Hen was either my fav EEmix or one of my GLW.
I'll post possible Mother's in the next post.
This chicken hatched May 12th.
At first I thought pullet but now the comb and feathers are looking cockrel. I want to be sure before I rehome any of them.
Cuckoo Maran Rooster over Blue Copper Maran Hen.
This is the 2 Brothers From the Same exact set of parents hatched same time. I've know...
So I have about a dozen of older eggs that are not Floating but definitely on the tip and on the verge of float.
Can these be cooked and fed to the flock? Or should I just compost them?
So I had this chick die in the egg and put off curiosity I opened it up to see why.
It pipped wrong end and there was yellow goo coming out the hole.
I am assuming it Pierced the yolk.
This is a picture after I opened the egg.
Chick is fully forms but is this a yolk sac or something else?
This...
So I got these Gold laced Wyandottes she said pullets but this one has an odd comb. I've never seen a single comb on the GLWs
Could this be a cockerel? It's the only one like that out of the 4.
I have one of the others next to it for reference.
We have been considering Geese but a few people told me they are mean and I've held off getting some.
What if we hatch them ourselves and just keep interacting with them is that better? I have small kids and don't want to deal with them getting attacked.
Are there certain breeds that are better...
So my N360 is in use right now but I want to hatch more eggs. I have my Janoel12 but it only fits 6 Standard eggs. Does anyone have tips on expanding the space? I'd like to hatch more than 6
I lost 14 adult Chickens today.
I'm so devastated I don't even know where to begin.
We have a security camera and at 5:30 this morning a Neighbor's Dog, a Hunting Pointer, Rammed the fenced Run over and over until he got a small opening (still no clue how it fit through) and got into the run and...
So I know #1 is definitely a Cockerel the rest have me Iffy lol
Parents are Cuckoo Maran Rooster
Blue Copper Maran Hen
Or Black/Splash Maran Hen
Care to guess? they are just shy of 6 weeks but i would like to sell them asap to make room since my Broody Hen failed at being a momma.
I have a 3yr old Golden Laced Wyandotte, this is her first Hatch she is aways from the other chickens. I thought her eggs would hatch 12 or 13th. They didn't I know some can go to 25days.
Well this morning we found a new hatchling outside the box and another one dead on the otherwise. When I...
Where are my Rhodebar experts? 😁
These are supposed to be Sexlink Rhodebars. I have no idea which is Cockrel or pullet.
The breeder sent the wrong eggs i was supposed to get Maran/legbar crosses and they still haven't gotten back to me on how to sex them.
