    strange looking egg!!!

    So long as the egg shell is not cracked, there is nothing to worry about. The eggs are fine to eat.

    strange looking egg!!!

    Quote: I am tired and when I read this post the first time I thought it said "New Lawyers." I was gonna disagree with you on that one. I have in excess of fifty laying hens (and the good Lord only knows how many pullets, cockerels and other birds I have around here.) and we get the...

    Black sex links

    I breed for the black sex link with my barred rocks and a RIR Rooster. I breed my black sex links back to a RIR rooster and I get a paler version of the barred rock pullets (Looks like the color has started to wash out of them). The male offspring of the sexed links and the RIR rooster look...

    Crossing Sexed link/RI red/Jersey Giants NEED HELP!

    Hey folks, I am in the process of trying to build a bigger, better, brown egg layer. I have currently crossed the RI Red Rooster (RIR) with the Plymouth Barred Rock Hen and have black sexed link (BSL) pullets. I cross the BSL back to the RIR and I have a paler colored barred rock (PCBR)...

    Passive Breed of Rooster?

    Believe it or not, I have found the bigger the rooster, the less aggressive he is. I have bantams that are vicious and seem to suffer from the napoleon syndrome. I have a few Rhode Island reds that look at me as walk through he flock like "Geeze, do I have to move again?" and I even have one...

    Did I just mess up their laying cycle?

    I had the same problem with my birds pecking at the timer. I Cut an old rubber tire and nailed the piece of rubber over the timer so it acted like a cover. No problems since. The light being left on is not a big deal. I raise birds for the hatching eggs and leave a light on (white light) in...

    A little humor from Missouri Farmer

    Well, I caught the chickens trying to cheat the turkeys in a poker game last night. Worst part wasn’t the cheating, they were smoking my cigars. It was a surreal scene, almost like the velvet poker dogs superimposed on the chicken house. They were charging double for the clean bottled water...

    Anyone from Missouri?

    Here in Warrensburg, we did OK. Not too much storm damage. We are getting winds this evenning though. Let the New calf (Clarrisa) out of the barn today. She is following the baby geese around (Momma goose does not care much for that). The fancy chicks are ready to go into their new...

    Anyone from Missouri?

    I have been to the Marshall Swap a few times and I enjoyed the heck out of it. Some sellers do not include cages when you buy the birds, but there was always a lady there selling cages. We just packed the cages into the car before we go, (Thank goodness I did not bring the truck! ) so we know...

    Very odd... confusing...

    We have african geese. The male takes turns sitting on the nest. When he isn't sitting on his mates nest, he will wait for the duck to get up from hers and set there. Never seems to be any argument over who owns the nest. We hatched out several geese and both the male and the female take...
