Well I am new to chicken raising. I started with 3 Pullets and there was a small pecking order issue that ended rather quickly and they all hang out now and no issues. I have to keep the cooped up during the day but let them out when I get home from work and on weekends. I decided to get a new...

I wonder if you could buy straw bales and a bit of plastic and make a warm winter coop that is cheap?

I had an idea.....not often but i did this time....lol.......I have 4 now pullets and have no desire to keep a full time rooster. has anyone ever or is this a new concept.......had a stud service for roos? local BYC people lending out roos to help procreate. just curious and maybe starting a trend.

From another post i got an idea of an online farmers market that could..... sell already processed meat....chicken, rabbit, cow, pig, turkey, giraffe...etc veggies and fruit and etc.... i see a ton of posts about people who can not "kill" or people who would but do not have the space to...

I was curious if there are any "classes" online for livestock or poultry? I know there is a lot of information out there but just curious if there is any online or community classes (Indiana preferably)? They offer a free master gardener class through Purdue University in exchange for volunteer...

I had to travel out of town this weekend to my farm down in KY and of course my chickens lay their first 2 eggs. One froze and cracked but the other was just fine. I also got one this morning. I fell like a kid with a new toy...lol...I use some lights and put some cayeene in the water and now...

I have a farm in Horse Cave KY. I want to buy about 6-8 full grown guineas for free ranging they can perch in the barn at night and i would also like to buy 2 full grown muscovy hens.

http://www.brinsea.com/products/rcom.html http://www.brinsea.com/detail.aspx?ID=110 Has anyone ever used one of these or anything similar? All I would ever need is a small incubator due to me only wanting a 3-5 size flock. I was just curious if this works any good?

I have no need for a large incubator. I see they make a 3-R automatic incubator for classrooms that does small batches. It is rather expensive but all I would ever need is maybe 3-4 chicks for a small backyard mini flock. My question is does this auto incubator work good? does anyone have a...

I do not understand what some of the 2 letter codes mean. Like DH, DD and OP etc....is there a list somewhere?

Where can I buy food grade Diatomaceous Earth In Indianapolis, IN? I am trying to prevent being charged for shipping and want to help out local distrubutors if possible. If there is a low shipping online source I would concider if I can not find something local. I want to try it out because I...
