    Choosing the right type of housing, too many choices!

    We have an egg business now with 125 hens and a handful or roos. We bought it set up but I am thinking it may need some changes to fit the farm. They are free range on our property and this won't change (there is a 40x40 electric fence in front of the door to keep the fox away from the chicken...

    Broad Breasted Whites All sorts of questions....

    How many sq ft would you recommend for BBW's? I figured when I opened them up to the 3 pens at 10,000sq ft they would feel like it might be enough? The area has loads of pickings, vegetation, and bugs. Only 1 section is more like a grass lot. Waters are topped up twice a day, never out. I can...

    Good idea on the wings! I'll give that a go. I did find this chart, wonder how accurate it is? Oh and there's no mills here, we kind of moved near the very edge of the country lol

    Broad Breasted Whites All sorts of questions....

    Well we finally got the farm, and somehow I am the proud owner of nearly 50 BBW turkeys. *Sigh.... I helped raise and slaughter them on a friends farm, but have never had the pleasure of owning my own. We had them in a nice 40 x 40 electric fence when they were small and they realized the could...

    Chick with bent legs, NOT spraddle leg

    A friend had a chick hatch with bent legs, like a little bunny. I've never seen anything like it. Any ideas if it's correctable?

    tips and secrets of the GQF 1502 sportsman...

    Talked to Berry Hill, looks like you can't fit two green duck trays contrary to the description, you need to cut off 1 row of the tray to make it fit.

    I can't get two egg trays on the shelf. They are catching instead of turning because they won't push back any farther. Anyone else run into this??

    Treating Wet Feather

    Picked up a flock (3 Drakes, 8 Ducks) of Pekins Sunday and looks like they have wet feather. Owner got rid of them because he needed to move the pen due to mud and floods. He bathed them and put them in the shed before we got there so I don't know how dirty they were, but he said it was bad. I...

    Scaly leg mites and dosage for ivermectin 1%

    Also wondering, we were "gifted" a pair of silky roos with VERY bad leg mites. They are in quarantine. We treated behind the neck and under both wings but no one told us how many times or if we need to re dose. Do we need to oil their legs as well. I'd really hate to have to cull them but we are...
