I live in a residential neighbourhood where some hens are allowed. I have a noisy girl that hasn't laid in a while (couple weeks) that just seems to be so loud all the time, whether I am there or not. All the other hens are noisier when I'm around and quiet when I am not (I can't hear them, when...

Hahaha well another laid this afternoon! So let the flood gates open 🤣 almost 6 months to the day they were hatched 😎

I hatched some americauna/Easter Eggers out in September 2021 under a broody hen. Today I got my first egg from the group of 4! The 2 eggs on the right are from my 2 veteran layers. Super eggciting! Now just to find out which of the 4 rookies laid the first egg!

Ya I probably should of done more to see signs when i found her, I wasn't in the right headspace when I was handling her. I just hope it is something that was a one off. Really nervous for the night tonight, hoping I don't find more dead chickens in the morning 😬

This morning I found a young Brahma, 6 months old dead. She had blood either around her mouth or eyes, couldnt tell since some bedding had matted to her face. She has been eating and drinking regularly and often, nice weight on her so not like she was wasting away. She was middle of the pecking...

I had a chick that seemed totally dead and limp. The mom stepped on it and sat down. When all the chicks weren't accounted for I found her under mom's foot. I picked the chick up and I thought it was dead for sure, it looked at me then the neck went limp. I warmed it in my hands and it came...

Found a hatchery guide for Canada, good luck!

Breezy bird farms I think its called

I heard there is a good one for ducks in Manitoba, can't recall what it's called though. Guess that isn't much help at all lol

Nice looking birds!

Yes, to kill. I was thinking the cervical bungee method, my dad always did the broom stick method, but I can't recall how he did it, could you explain it better? I think he rolled the neck over the broomstick...i don't really want to deal with a bunch of blood. Great advice, it is the first time...

When is the best time to take a bird from a small flock? I mean to cull a bird but still want my flock to trust me. Is it best to take them from the roost at night or when is it best to take a bird from a flock permanently? Also how do you make a bird comfortable before culling to show respect...

Ahhh gotcha! Ya I could only find like light, dark, buff etc. Colours. Blue Partridge, very cool! Thank you!
