I crossed my wheaten cock over a black hen. The hen obviously wasnt pure for E/E but Im not positive what she was carrying. His down looked almost like partridge when he was born, I mistook him as one of my silver chicks at first. He's a cool looking bird, reminds me of a salmon faverolle. He...

I noticed on the perks of PFM you get signature permissions such as links. Does this mean you can have external links that sent users to a personal farm website such as one to sell your hatching eggs?

Hey mates 🖐 I have a few random threads I update time to time, but thought it'd be nice to have a catch-all thread with no specific focus. I find myself checking BYC at work each morning.. so Good Morning BYC and welcome to my cup of joe ☕☕☕

One of my 2.5 year old bantam dominique hens has grown a spur on one leg. Ive heard of some breeds with hens that sometimes have spurs but this is my first, and only on one leg lol. My other 2 dominique hens have yellow legs but this girl is absent or hetero for yellow skin. Shes is a great layer!

Picked about 13 gallons of muscadines with the family last weekend, roughly 70 pounds. It was enough to make 4 gallons of white muscadine wine, and 5 gallons of red (added a few pounds of whites to the reds). Used an old apple press my dad had to juice them. Got them started in new sterilized...

Ive always kept chicks in brooders with shavings, but due to an increase in chicks Im building a stacked brooder to better manage them. Im probably gunna use 1/4" hardware cloth but has anyone used larger wire? Ive also considered using 1/4 on top few slots then a slightly larger wire on...

I have a bunch of splash and blue silkies. Want to get a nice partridge male and cross over blue hens. Should I just keep saving the best blue female offspring that look like they carry the Pg gene, and cross back over dad to try and get 2 copies in the offspring? Then I'd have a partridge...
