Does anyone know of anybody that has heritage meat birds that have been on the farm to free range, not hatchery type?

That is what I am using on one of the extreme ends I am looking for a breed in the middle to use as a control group.

What would ya'll say is the most basic type of chicken. The most predictable in growth and behavior. I am doing a funded research project and need a control group in comparison to the commercial broiler cornish rock cross and a heritage meat breed like bresse or deleware. Preferably white and...

I have a few different hens in with the same rooster and I need a way to make sure I know what eggs I am getting. (all of their eggs look alike)

I also have another question. I am on day 21 for my call duck eggs and I have been hand turning them in a carton because they were shipped. Should I take lie them on their sides now because I think they may not be filling in as good as they should be?

Do any of ya'll use food coloring in your hens' vents to mark hatching eggs?

Anybody have any day 18 pics for call ducks?

put a poster in your yard and at the highway too

PLEASE put posters out EVERYWHERE even your car, and alert all local vets and shelters and hardware stores, posting on social media is great, but sometimes the people who lost them are elderly and do not use it. I used to never find stray animals, but the past year I have had several dogs come...

Don't get offended, I'm just curious, but what grade are you in?

may be getting some snow and ice tomorrow, how do yall cope with power outages and incubators?

no, it looks like a normal developing egg that took a big green dump

nah, I don't think it was from the duck that laid it, I ordered these, and it was developing fine before now (today is day 14) out of the 25 I got 12 were clear, 1 early blood ring and one died at day 7

is that caused from too low or too high temperature or too much fluctuation?

a big green spot in an egg at 14 days, bacterial? I still see movement, but probably not much longer I've been having to adjust the temperature a lot the last few days since I am hand turning and it is trying to snow here, the others look fine.

yea, sure....

what is the process of hatch day(specifically for call ducks) what should i be watching for and when to help?

alright yall so i have my chickens in chain link dog pens, (no coops) with dog houses as shelter in all pens including breeding, grow out, etc. for this year i am wanting to come up with some new shelter, possibly like a mini coop in each pen (the minimum pen is a 5'x5') that i am able to open...

hey Rockingham! I aint too far from you, what kind of chickens/animals you got?

when do yall throw out any clear eggs or blood rings, im not sure if i should just hope for a miracle(can they explode in the time it takes to incubate) or will it affect the temperature having less eggs around the other eggs
