    Is anyone working on a Chocolate Mottled Leghorn project?

    He has dark shanks... Orps are supposed to have white shanks. With the Leghorns having yellow, the offspring should be white or yellow, not dark... ? So I happened to mix Leghorns with English Orps in the past. They were not the goal but a building block to get larger eggs and faster growth in...

    FLORIDA!!!!!ALWAYS SUNNY SIDE UP!!!

    We are looking for a farm rental in FL. Little bit odd situation, but we have an RV, and have been renting at a farm for a while now, with our chicken coop and own fencing. But the current landowners are moving out of state. (The goal is eventually to have our own land, but prices/financing...

    Training Chickens For Extensive Handling - Resources?

    I'm not an expert on this... but I am trying to work with some chicks I hatched, as they may eventually go on to a girl who wants to show in 4H. The timing is uncertain so it may be their offspring, but in any case I'm trying to keep them tamer than I would usually bother with. For most of my...

    At what point is overkill on permiter run fencing?

    To the title: When you can no longer access your chickens 😅 To the body of the post: We have found 2x4 4ft welded wire "No climb" fence with metal t-posts every 8 ft to be sufficient for our chicken yards. It's less pricey which helps us give them a big yard. During the day, when chickens can...

    Prepping for winter ugh

    Umm, I think there's a rule against talking about winter prep when we are roasting 🥵🫠 😅

    Any advice for Coccidiosis

    With them already very sick you are far better off getting some tolturazil. I believe it's easier for Canadians to get online (?). But your vet could certainly prescribe it. When they are already very sick they can go downhill fast. One thing I learned the hard way is that when they sit with...

    Please help with run placement! :)

    Shade! (to the title) To the body of the post... still would choose shade, always. Whether the chickens pose any danger to the tree from exposed roots depends on the age and type of tree. We have old Live Oaks with some exposed roots, it's a very hard wood and the chickens like to use them...

    Chicken Heart Health

    I'm going to risk being a pest and tag @U_Stormcrow because I know he's talked about organs in dissection and has read more poultry studies than most of us could contemplate. But it may be a little bit before he has time to reply. For me, I would like to know how to evaluate chickens for...

    Things you wish you could say

    I live where many Florida-Man can be found, so YES it should totally be a thing! LOL Last year we got some safe yard fireworks including flaming swords that were very fun to wave around, but too short lived. They need to perfect those things. So much better than sending fire into the air that...

    How to find small breeders?

    Since the rest has been answered I'll just respond to this part... I've had better experiences (3) from private breeders. One was a box of chicks sent from a member here, with Ameraucana and Genetic Hackle chicks. All arrived very perky and grew into good examples of their breed. Another time...

    How inconsiderate could they be?! What's a ghetto bird? It was pouring rain all evening here... but still somehow the new downtown fireworks were going off until 10:45. It's not actually that far away from here so the booming was fairly intense... my mom asked "Are we sure that's not bombs?"...

    Things you wish you could say

    I only drink spring water... Zephyrhills to be specific... it comes from a deep aquifer. Once water has been evaporated into clouds, that's distillation which removes everything that's not a water molecule. Therefore rain is safe, although not very yummy without the minerals. And once rain...

    Things you wish you could say

    Ewww... I haven't tried it, but I don't have to, sometimes you just know something is yicky. Like fish, broccoli, escargot, mixed produce "smoothies", sugar-free beverages, prunes, sauerkraut, spore-filled fungus sponges, various oozing lumpy mixes termed "salads" that really aren't, desserts...

    Looking for Gene info for the Alula / Bastard Wing / Carpal Spur.

    Reminds me of Deinonychus, which I recently saw featured in this video... PBS - "Birds Are Living Dinosaurs"

    Why do breeders do this?

    Humans come along thinking Gods design has no purpose :rolleyes: I would be worried about dust and particles causing issues down the road. If the nostrils were supposed to be open the natural coverings wouldn't exist. Most likely, the people that do this are using it to mark culls for sale, so...

    Assess thyself

    The questions had absolutely nothing to do with the results? I was surprised with how inappropriate it was. But anyway, I got Mansplainer, not a surprise. Probably only one of the questions led to the answer, and the others were a distraction. A rude, indecipherable distraction... what gens...
