I just wanted to create a thread for some of my photography. I just started getting into it so I am not good at all but I just enjoy it so I don’t have any rush to get better at, I honestly just want to figure it out as I go. I have a Canon EOS 60D that I have been using. I also use my phone as...
Uhhhhhhh I was told to make this for some reason and I am bored so why not.
Come on down to Logan’s Craptastic Art where your expectations are at zero and you still come out disappointed! We do everything to unrecognizable blobs that should be chickens to horrific drawing of your dog! We...
I have been researching a lot about feeds and have wanted to try making my own feed. I would probably only have it as 25-50% of the chickens diet and they would still have free choice pellets. I wouldn’t be thinking about trying it if I didn’t free range as they can get plenty of bugs and forage...
My 6 month old buff Orpington pullet’s eye is extremely swollen. I noticed some swelling yesterday but it was not even 25% as it is now. What can I do to help her? She is acting fine just but it has to be bothering her and I feel horrible.
I have been happy with my overEZ feeder up until now. I looked in and saw some mold. No big deal, right? Well the feeder was horribly created and there are tons of cracks that make it hard to clean and sanitize. I have no clue how long some of it could have been there for. I am so happy I free...
So Prudy my 24 week old JG pullet started acting off today. She is usually super talkative, very active, and never wants to be away from the other chickens. But today she is lethargic and seems almost disoriented. She will walk and peck for a couple minutes then just stand like this, head close...
So I know that hatcheries follow the SOP very loosely and that results in smaller animals. But I would like to know how much that tends to be for something like a JG. Both of mine are just about 7 pounds, maybe 7.5 for one of them. They are going to be 24 weeks old in 2 days. Are they going to...
My barred rock had 2 random solid black feathers that popped up a couple weeks ago. What is the reason behind them? Should I expect more like them, just those 2 to stay, or for them to not come back when she molts?
I find them pretty funny for some reason as it looks like someone sneezed while...
I have noticed bags of this when visiting TSC and have always wondered if/how well it works. I have horse pellets currently and I like them but would like to try out as many options as possible to see what works best for me. Thanks...
So we have been having a young wild turkey, under twice the size of my 20 week old pullets, that has been visiting my yard every few days for a couple weeks now. My dad first saw it eating off the ground next to one of my bird feeders getting all of the fallen bits, then my mom saw it talking to...
I have two stores exactly the same distance away, one carries Kalmbach 20% flock maker pellets and the other has Nutrena 20% all flock pellets. They both come out to 1.7 lbs/$ and am not sure if I should go with one over the other. Any suggestions or does it really not matter?
Picture just for...
So my chickens have been all been having poops that look like this for a couple of days. I felt like it may have just been from them drinking lots of water while it was hot but today was in the mid 70s and they still have them. They are all acting normal but I just wanted to check and make sure...
Does this look like the start of scaly leg mites to anyone? I am super paranoid about them so I just want to make sure if it is so I can start treating right away.
Thanks!
I would like to get it out of the way first that this is not at all an emergency but just seems to be the most appropriate place to post this.
So star my barred rock has had weird looking wings for a while but after waiting (5+ weeks) to see if it was just her growing it really hasn’t change...
I was wondering, what is the difference between all flock and duck feed? I saw DuMor had a 20% duck feed and am thinking about maybe trying it out but wanted to see if it is a good idea. I have been feeding Nutrena 20% all flock pellets and they seem to like it but I think switching things up...
Hi!So I am having a bit of a hard time figuring out when I should start providing oyster shells to my flock of 13 1/2 week old pullets. I would normally just provide them now but my buff Orpington is a little bit lacking in the brain and will gorge herself on anything new. It took multiple weeks...
So I have been making a quail coop and it has two sections, a covered coop area and an open area. For the covered area I plan to use shingles as I already have some on hand but the roof is only 3x4 and I can’t justify spending $40 on proper underlayment just to use 1% of it. So could I use a...
Hello (again)! Since I have my family and I have been enjoying keeping chickens so much, I am thinking about getting some quail, most likely coturnix quail. So first, how do you pronounce coturnix?
Now onto the keeping questions. I plan on keeping probably 6 or so and was wondering what the...
Hi! This is Princess my light Brahma and while I am confident that he is a cockerel, my mom still thinks he is a pullet. He is 12 weeks old as of yesterday. What do you think?
