I wish they tested for more diseases with NPIP. Anyone remember several years ago when I bought healthy looking chickens and then they turned out to be carriers of infectious coryza and I lost my entire flock? I had to get rid of the few survivors, disinfect, and wait awhile before starting...

Quote: I wondered how they might be. Is their meat black too, or just the skin on the outside? Maybe that's a stupid question. Humans look the same inside despite skin colors...haha.

Elinor's chicks : Quote: Hi! I live in Lexington too. I have 22 large fowl, 4 silkies, and 4 bantams. I live near the Nicholasville Rd. Walmart. My husband works at Toyota, so we're hoping to buy a farm in Scott county sometime in the next couple of years. So good to hear there are more...

Quote: Hi there! I am in Lexington, so right in your area. I am down to 11 chickens, almost all egglayers now. Hi! I live in Lexington too. I have 22 large fowl, 4 silkies, and 4 bantams. I live near the Nicholasville Rd. Walmart. My husband works at Toyota, so we're hoping to buy a farm in...

They seem fine now. It's cloudy and sprinkling. They are in dog kennel runs with tarp roofs, so lots of shade. There's deep straw on the ground. One of my hens is 4 years old and has something wrong with her, she retains water and swells all over. I worry about her in the heat. She still lays...

My poor birds have pale combs. They're in the shade. Some of them are standing in the water dishes. I don't have a fan to put out there. Do you think I should mist them with water and get their feathers wet? I don't want to steam them. LOL. I sprayed down my ducks and they aren't even...

I'm not sure the coops can make it out of our yard without being demolished. I get my feed from Woodford Feed in Versailles. I love their feed! I buy the broiler mash, then I add in oyster shell. My birds are so healthy now, and they lay eggs with nice thick shells.

Hey guys, I'm selling my house in Lexington...getting ready to put it on the market in the $115-$125,000 range. Anyone know someone who's looking to buy around here? My house has two chicken coops complete with covered dog kennel runs, 5 raised 4x4 ft garden beds, a semi-dwarf pear tree, and...

Hey guys, I've got a couple of golden sebright roosters looking for a new home. They were TSC Easter chicks. I was hoping they were a pair but both are boyish now. They're pretty and free! I live in Lex.

I sell my eggs for $2 a dozen in Lexington. Fairly cheap, but that's ok because I like sharing eggs with people! Has anyone been to the TSC in Nicholasville? I just got 11 bantams from there and I'm trying to figure out what breeds they are. Four are silkies, two are Golden Sebrights, a...

By the way, all of these roosters are great for making Olive Eggers! I'm getting some really nice olive eggs from the babies of the older two roos, and all of the hens from the hatch of the younger two lay super dark olive eggs.

Hey you all, I need to get rid of my roosters because of neighbor complaints. I live in Lexington. I've posted them all over the local boards (freecycle, cheapcycle, craigslist, etc.) and I cannot find anyone to take them. Anyone want some free roosters? Please! I'm attached to a couple...

wood&feathers : Cthrash were you in Mt. Sterling or over to Preston? I went over there hoping to find some cockerels for meat and feathers. Lots of nice banties, gamecocks and even pheasants, but the large fowl were really pitiful. I am not sure I saw any that didn't have leg mites. Some were...

I have that same problem with hens laying new eggs in the broody nest. I never thought of marking with sharpie! Definetely will be doing that next time. I threw away 24 eggs last night...some had veins, some didn't, but I didn't want to accidentally sell half developed eggs.

I've got a few baby roosters in the making and they need a new home! I keep getting them mixed up, but there are 2 or 3 of them. There's a very slight chance they could be pullets, but they are looking pretty manly. They're just now feathered out, hatched between July 17-19th. They're black...

Quote: I use the one that Walmart has in the hardware section..about $6. Has temp and humidity on it. I use that same one! I got 100% hatch last time with that thermometer using my cooler bator. So that little bantam roo I wanted to get rid of...now my DH says we can build a bantam pen out...

Quote: Thanks! I hope I can find a good home for him too. I don't want to give him away to any random person on Craigslist, you know? But he crows non-stop and I'm afraid my neighbors will cause more trouble. (I had a problem last year with someone making anonymous false complaints about...

Anyone around Lexington need a hilarious little bantam roo? Cracker Jack is buff colored, white earlobes and blue legs, hatched this past July for my daughter's birthday. We raised him as a pet, but lately he's way way WAY too loud for my suburb. He loves to crow and squawk. I'm so sad to...
