The answer to this questions probably make a difference in how you approach your chicken managment. Do they need to have a profitable return? Do you consider cost in your decisions? Etc.

So, yes, I may be trying to ruffle some feathers here. I'm bored, what can I say more. So Ameraucana breeders/owners take pride in breeding to the SOP, which is a great thing. It preserves and promotes, what they are trying to accomplish. That being said, does anybody else smirk when they...

For anybody wanting the recipe for Vetricin it is as follows: fill an average spray bottle with water. Add 1 cap of bleach, and 1 tablespoon of table salt. Great for treating wounds.

Does anybody have some eggs from Whiting True Blues, Ameraucana or Easter Eggers (edit: or Cream Legbar) that we can compare egg color on? Preferably in the same picture so we truely compare one to the other.

I have some 6 week old chicks(17 of them). I also am just about to receive a shipment of 4 more 4-6 week old WTB from McMurry which I ordered last spring. How much effort do I need to put into the integration, since they will be about the same age? My current flock is made up of 9 RIR and 8 EE's.

Disclaimer: I'm new here. I've read a bunch of stuff claiming that free range eggs are healthier than strorebought eggs. Does anyone have some scientific data I could see to back that up. It sounds nice. The color difference obviously exists. But I would like to see the stats.

If you had to pick a Rooster what breed would you get and why? For me I'm trying to decide. I ordered 15 pullets, 8 RIR and 7 EE. They will free range during the day, on 10 acres. Flock protection is great but we also have 3 small children so I need something thats not too nasty. I realize...

First post here...Wife and I recently built us a chicken coop for our RIR and EE that will be arriving next month. For ventilation we have a 8" X 18" hole on the south wall and left the eaves between the rafters open (but covered with hardware cloth). Do you think that is enough ventialtion...
