looking for local eggs about 3 dozen a week. Modoc is just outside Augusta GA. My wife can pick up

Hi it's been a while since I have posted and due to some unfortunate circumstances I have had to sell all I of my birds and move. I still have a taste for home grown eggs however. Is there anyone around Modoc SC that would be able to supply my family with about 3 dozen eggs a week? Name...

I go up earlier than usual this morning and went to check on my birds before leaving home. This was at 2:00 am. When I got close to the coop I heard something running away from the coop ( other coons I guess) buy anyway there he was looking at my girls and looking at me, caught red handed...

My Flemish giant rabbit loves to hang out in the run with the girls. I put him in there from time to time. I was considering combining their habitats. Thoughts? Is it ok for them to eat each others food? Does anyone do this?

Its been over 90 during the day for the past three months with a few 110+ days. But now I feel a coolness comming on. Any one else feel fall coming closer?

I added a pair of young BCM pullets to my flock memorial day weekend and at long last I got my first Marans egg today!!! It has got to be the most beautiful egg I have ever seen. Dark dark brown with speckles all over. Can't wait till tomorrow. What kind of laying rate can I expect? Also...

Went out about 4 this morning OTW to work andchecked on the chickens. I spooked two coons and watched them leaving the coop. All birds accounted for and the didn't harm the eggs. Could they bejust eating the feed??? Or did I catch them before they could do any damage? Will they harm a...

This morning is the first morning I have been home late enough to hear to roo crow in a while. As a usually leave for work at like 4:00 am. Anyway, like normal he is crowing up a storm but also have a 20ish week pullet that is crowing. Whats the deal. I know that a hen will sometimes crow to...

I live close to a guy who has a portable sawmill. He has tons of sawdust that he would be glad to give me. Would this be acceptable as brooder litter? Also how bout as a floor covering in my coop?

I have a 1 gal waterer and am medicating with denagard. I have a small flock and they drink about half the gallon in a day. I know Duramicin is unstable after 24 hours and you have to change out the water hence losing the meds in the wasted water. Is it the same with denagard? This isn't a...

Its always a treat to come home from work and go out to the coop to find my daily gift of fresh eggs from the girls. Yesterday though, I came home to find my best layer dead. What happened? I think it was the heat... is this possible? All I did different is start them on denagard. They had...

I found some old threads on here talking about feed prices but they were from like 2009. What's it going for per 100 now? I am talking the good 24% + stuff ??? I am thinking I will get a way better price at the local country feed store where they mill their own. TSC seems really high. Also...

I am looking for a good hatchery for meat birds or Mabye an individual. Any direction would be much appreciated

Ok so I know a little about layers but not much about meat birds. That being said... I see a lot of folks on here that use tractors for their meat birds. But in them I see no roosts. What do they do just sleep on the ground. And what about square feet per bird? Looking at getting like two...

Ok so I think I am gonna venture into meat birds soon. All I want is to have fresh meat that is home grown for my family. As far as cost goes, how many would be worth while to make the meat around what it costs in the store. My layers eat about a pound a week each. Is the close in meatbirds...

Ok so I have a Flemish Giant and I put him in the chicken run on the weekends and he loves it. His pen is twice as big as it has to be with a covered run and the works, but he. Loves to hang with the birds in their huge run. The question is sit gonna hurt him to just stay in there and...

My poor roo won't row anymore. Poor guy just hacks and coughs. I think its COD. I hear Denagard is good stuff. Hope it works. Nothing else has. Could COD be why he isn't crowing. I love to hear him. It makes me happy!!

I have four hens that are mature layers. And I usually get two eggs a day and sometimes only one. For the last three days in a row though, I have gotten three eggs a day. The only thing that is different is there feed. I went from the cheapest I could find ( the local feed store's...

I have heard that guineas are self sufficient. That they will roost in the trees, and that total free range is fine. This being the case, why would you need a coop for them? My chickens free range and come to the coop for roost. Will guineas find a "favorite" tree and come back to it at...

I am in need of about Thirty brown egg layers and Four or so olive eggers I will pay cash need to be in the Augusta area. I want younger birds that are laying to older pullets that will lay before summer is over.
