    After seeing my pictures Welp hatchery swears these are the white rocks I ordered. the males feather in more slowly because of the rapid growth, but they should lay as planned. Supposedly they look great! lol We'll see in a few weeks! If they are too big, too fast, I'm still going to...

    How do you guys weigh your chickens for accuracy??? Is there a special chicken scale? We took the scale we use to weigh our food. It was hard because we had to weigh the box first, then put the chicken in ... once the chicken and the box were on the scale it was almost impossible to see the...

    are these the birds I ordered????????

    I am hoping someone can identify my birds! Originally, I was trying to figure out why my birds are "loosing" feathers!! I can't tell if they are plucking them out themselves, or if they are doing it to each other. I lost 2 yesterday and can't figure out why. Poos look good, eating and...
