    How do I tell the difference between a fryer and a pullet. Egg Laying?

    Sounds like I got a broiler. The eat a lot. They actually lay down when the eat and drink. I think it is cuz the are to big for their little legs. They are 3 wks now and double to triple the size of the brown and black chicks. DANG IT<

    My family and I attend our first swap type show in Ladysmith Saturday. It was fun. We were looking for hens but someone bought all of them before we got there. Lots of cute animals though. My kids wanted the puppies of course and left mad cuz they couldn't get one.

    New goats! Chicken pics too

    So when you take a picture of a goat and don't have the red eye light on, it gives them blue eyes instead of red eyes? I have never seen that before. Maybe it is a goat thing.
