In NY state with extra Malines roosters and only 1 hen. Wish we were closer to trade..

There seem to be plenty places in Canada with them, east and west. It’s stateside where they can’t e gotten without paying $60 for a day old srraight run chick.

Yeah, there is a short metal lip, front and back at the bottom of each nesting box that looks as if it should hold the galvanized floor but only holds the bottom row in. I assume the concave side should face down? I'll probably have to add wood or metal strips to hold the floors. Since it's...

still need trim and paint and a gutter in back to hook to the water drum to feed the bell waterer

Just finished a mobile coop on a small hay wagon gear.

Does anyone use the older style galvanized nesting boxes? I've inherited and old 15 nest unit. The removable metal nest bottoms I assume go concave side down. No matter which way I put them in, many just fall straight down. I think I'm going to have to modify but want to see if anyone else has...

I've just noticed in a torrential downpour. All my Bielefelders standing in the rain while my Delawares watched from shelter. Surprised me.

I'm not far from you. I'd think you were golden in the town. Doubtful in the villages. Can't hurt to check with the town though.

Bielefelder weight question. I've seen sources stating the roosters reach 10-11 lbs. and others stating 8-9 lbs. I'd like to know if thee is an official SOP weight and what folks own experiences have been. I've 4 bielefelder chicks in the brooder and I set 25 last night. thanks all

thanks for the ideas

There were issues with shavings in water but I'm sure this behavior started in the first week, while I still had them on towel. She is eating and drinking.

I have four chicks in the brooder. All the same age. One chick is almost half the size of the other three and it's vent/ tail /rear end seem to contract almost continuously. The vent is clear. Her behavior is otherwise unremarkable. Any ideas?

Just hatched 4 of 13 bielefelder eggs i had posted to me in NY from NC. Two males.

Wee sleekit cowrin tim'rous beastie, my chickens catch you in their beaksies! My Delawares love to catch and eat mice!
