Oh dear, I so don't want you to feel like I am attacking your naivete ...... but what do you think should be done with the no less than 50% of 'layer' boys that get hatched. Sadly, yes, they are re-purposed as quickly as it can be determined that they have NO purpose beyond that day. Try...

Are you thinking Large fowl or Bantam? the bantam barred rocks are really stunning! good buffs in either bantam or LF are very hard to get. also, if they are really enjoying it you might consider that they use one bird for 'showmanship' and another or so for 'conformation' very fun for the...

would she be going into a mixed flock? I have an adorable pullet that lives as a pet. Peaches seems to prefer the company of people to other chickens so lives in crate (which she prefers) and comes out to play when we are out in the barn. I am planning on moving her into the house for winter...

April, I wasn't for sure rather to post you here or fb..... I have a mixed group of pullet eggs set to hatch at Christmas and a batch of them are B/Wh Am's. Again, they are pullet eggs so until I candle I won't have any idea how many to expect. I have a brand new chick from a test egg (first...

OKAY, now I know I have been over saturated with all things "Chicken" (from getting ready for and going to the show, and now home less than an hour and working on plans for the swap). I read that first line as Hi, everyone. My name is Christina and I am becoming a chicken addict!!!! I...
