I am currently working on a breeding project for next year that will involve frizzles of various types(mostly Serama Cross) and a few EE/NN bantams. My hope is to produce bantams that are frizzled and lay green eggs. I am also working with Booted Seramas and a couple of other frizzle projects...

I was wondering what you guys thought about butchering and eating a chicken that is sick and openly showing symptoms at the time of butcher. I have a girl who has asked what to do with her chickens that are displaying what we believe to be coccidiosis symptoms and some people are telling her...

So, this question has just come up and I have seen it answered three ways. One says not for 3 weeks. One says 8 days. I was told the second egg laid after mating. So now I'm confused... Having not been with a rooster, how long after the first mating until a fertile egg is laid? My internet...

Here's a video of some of the tricks I've taught Grayson and Tucker. They love performing with me and were very easy to teach.

I am writing an article for the article contest and none of my roos have spurs, all still young. Anybody got some good pics they'd be willing to let me use. I may use them for examples of spurs, too long, too sharp, or trimmed properly. But please don't take offense if I do. I won't be using...

About 4 weeks ago I came home and there was cardboard box with chicken in it sitting on my porch. She was on;y about 8 weeks old then and was so thin and sick that I couldn't be sure of her breed. Now, however she is healthy again with a blot of love and patience. Any ideas on breed? She is...

My 1.5 year old serama hen is producing really thick saliva and a bit more of it than she should be. When I first looked at her I thought she had just eaten a slug and it got stuck. I then tried to pull it out and fount it was stuck to her tongue and wouldn't come off. I then soaked and...

Miss Puffles and Me in Petco Today is Miss Puffles’ birthday, well, the day I brought her home from the feed store as a chick. I remember that day, too. I had just won a Champion in showmanship and the prize was a gift certificate from Wilco in Mcminville. Iwas delighted to learn that the gift...

I have been breeding chickens for 10 years now and when I started I just had 4 little seabright crosses. I loved my original chickens and they were super friendly. I didn't care that they were mutts, I just loved them and enjoyed their company. I later got into breeding show birds. I started...

I went out to check babies about an hour ago and the smallest baby, about half the size of the other, as it goes, was kicked out of the nest and pretty cold. I brought him in, got him warmed up, and fed him a bit of gerber rice cereal, all I have. I mixed it as thick as the hand feeding tube...
