So I got my six mystery hens on Sunday. I’m guessing buff Silkie, barred rock, three Easter eggers and a buff orp? I’m stoked about this picture because this is their first time allowed outside in at least 6 months, so they are getting to do their chicken thing. They lead me to some new...

Just some sex link male for .50 a piece to replace some of the Lost meat bird chicks and two more buff Brahmas to bring me back to four. I didn’t go over what we initially planned to order by adding these guys, if you don’t count the 6 adult hens we will be ‘rescuing’ today. I promised to stop...

Well I left with only 8 more chicks so I did pretty good.

I’m hosting a self control seminar. I’m going without the voice of reason to a chicken swap...

Yeah, it was chaotic but could have been much much worse. I’m hoping that when I get into work the hospital in Superior has reopened so we can start getting patients back where they belong and can stop doing emergency meds for patients. I’m just glad no lives were lost and people are being able...

Ralphie, I think you secretly have a soft spot for your dumb roosters. On another note, I may be up to three coops, 6 adult laying hens, 14 one month old chicks, 9 one week old chicks, and two week old turkeys by the end of the weekend... I started a month ago with one existing coop on the...

The roaches range from like a Pill Bug size up to your standard large cockroach. They can’t fly or climb smooth surfaces, so that’s the one reason (well and long metal tongs) I can stand them around.

thanks for the tips on feed, never even crossed my mind to mix a feed in or try bugs. I breed Dubia roaches for my bearded dragons so that’s an easy enrichment to do for all my fowl.

Thank you! I’ll keep on searching. The turkey and gamebord I have been finding has only been like 22%, only 2% higher than the chick starter I have been using for chicks.

You turkey people, and what percentage protein do you feed your little guys? I have read the first few weeks should be 28%!?!?

Whoops! Bought a pair of turkey poults today...

I saw your post on there, but if we took in a roo it would be freezer camp for him at our place. Best of luck!

Got the new chicks today. They are like jumbo cotton balls on toothpicks. All 20 (1 packing peanut) are doing very good although they have pink/red stains on them. Is there such thing as like chicken angel wing? And just because this guy was so cute and snuggly.

Sorry, I have been that distracted by watching my chicks I haven’t checked here lately. They just got moved out to the coop and boy, they are loving the extra space. Now I have an open bathroom to get re-covered in dust when the (almost a month late) chicks arrive...and for any I collect from...

Good morning all!

Holy! There’s a 62 in there...that’s not Spring, that’s downright summer!

These meat birds are turning out to be a unique challenge. One female, by far the largest of them all, will not let me keep from bonding with her. I try to not get attached and yet whenever my hand is in the brooder box she comes straight over and jumps right on to scoot up my arm and cuddle up...

It’s STILL snowing here. Hasn’t stopped once today. It has provided a great back drop to be able to see the bald and golden eagles that are out back eating the deer something took down last night. Those birds are absolutely massive!
