    I'm new at all of this, so please bear with me! Is there an admission fee? Can I purchase birds there? Does anyone know if anyone will have any turkey poults? Thanks for your help!

    big decrease in egg production

    I am having the same problem with my flock of 15 hens. 8 of the hens have been laying, and the remaining seven haven't begun yet. I've gone from 6-7 eggs a day to one or two. Is it due to the cooler temperatures? Or could it be that they need deworming? I know in Juner when the egg...

    The Olive-Egger thread!

    Quote: I have two chickens that are about 20 weeks old now that look just like the picture of this one. However, one has what appear to be tail feathers that a rooster would have. I see no waddles nor spurs on this chicken. Do you suppose it is a rooster? It's funny as when I got them, the...

    First Timer: UPDATE: 12 Days After Hatch: Roos to Hens?

    We've got one chick as of around 1:00 am today! No signs of any more yet, but sure as heck hoping. We started with 13 eggs and by yesterday were down to 8. Hoping at least one more will hatch so this little one won't be all alone....

    Are these Eggs dead? Candeling pics

    I'm currently on Day 17 of my very first hatch and we've had to toss three eggs so far. However, I knew when every one of them went bad, as I could smell it. Then when I determined which one was bad, I removed it and put it in about three ziplock bags and then opened it. Sure enough, each one...

    Lack of respect in young people today

    I live at the beginning of a dead-end dirt road and my only neighbor is about 500 feet down the road. I have gotten woken up during the night before to people's voices, dogs barking, coyotes howling, bob cats screaming (which sounds just like a woman's blood-curdling scream) and I've always...

    stiopped laying

    A little help from our friends is all we need now and then! I wouldn't have know if it hadn't been for the local feed store people. Just a reminder, check for the withdrawl period. The bottle of mine didn't tell me, but their website did and it was two long weeks before we could eat the eggs...

    First Timer: UPDATE: 12 Days After Hatch: Roos to Hens?

    My daughter and I just set a dozen eggs for the first time in our homemade incubator on July 14. We hover around it several times a day checking temperature and humidity. Every time the temperature has gone low or high, I think well that's it, I've just killed them! Then we candle them at...

    stiopped laying

    When my hens just suddenly stopped laying and I lost two of them, I went to the local Feed Store and they told me that my Chicken's needed to be wormed. So, I followed their instructions and used the product they recommended, and it wasn't two days and I was back to normal in production. It's...

    Please help! Two dead birds since Monday!

    I have six Rhode Island Red hens that I purchased locally as my first flock of birds in early May. Two of the smaller birds just became ill. The first one died Monday after becoming really lethargic, her comb flattened out, and she had severe diarrhea. She died one day after I discovered her...

    Rir 1yr Old Not Laying

    I've noticed a drop in the last couple of days in my six one year old RIR. I was wondering if it was because of a switch from mash to pellets for feed, now I'm wondering if it's just their nature? I was getting four eggs a day and now I'm down to one.

    pellets vs. mash

    Two weeks ago I switched my flock of six one year old Rhode Island Reds to the pellets from mash. Up until the last couple of days they've been laying mostly four eggs a day. The last two days they've only laid one egg. The weather has been rather cool for my area for June with a lot of...

    goat people....Cross breeding goats....boer/nigerian?

    I bought four nigerian and nigerian/pygmy cross that had been bred to a huge boer buck. Those kids were born fine, however, the kids of the nigerian/boer cross had difficulty delivering their fist kids. I crossed them with a pygmy/boer cross buck and the kids were huge. One doe had such a...

    What wonderful information! I never gave it a thought about them not using the nesting boxes to roost in...It makes great sense! Wish I had figured that out sooner! Thank you!
