So, as I've mentioned beforehand I've got around 30 birds. (3 rotten ducks too) and some of the gals I hatched out are mutts. They are completely black without combs. Not laying yet as I've sat outside and meticulously watched them lol 😆 I've got to much time on my hands yes I know. Anyways...
Hi everyone, I need some advice. I am about to have a huge snow storm that's gonna last upwards of 12 plus hours. Should I lock my chickens in the coop for the day? What should I do leave the coop? Open and let them come in and out? Tim say they're gonna get down between thirty 32 to 27 degrees...

I was given 10+ birds from a woman who claimed she was getting a few daily. Together I now have 25 hens. Not a single egg. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. They now have unlimited access to feed. They are not being harassed by predators. Coop is enclosed as in the run. I feed a 16-18 percent layer feed...

I'm interested in seeing the egg colors or a RIR X bcm roo. (Rhode island red hen mixed with black copper maran rooster). And your own mix breed eggs!!!! Thanks! Excited to see your beauties!
I've ordered 1 maran roo and 25 rir to just have a fun experiment 😀. I'm looking to breed a more frequent layer of dark brown eggs. I know some have done this but I'm curious about egg color. Does anyone have any photos?
These 2 tiny black gals are tiny bantams! There is a yellow peeper-ed roo too. I'm unsure of his breed as well. Excuse the muddy coop. We've had non stop rain. Finally got some gravel ordered and for the time being got wood shavings down to dry it up. What are these guys?
Hello all!!!
I have recently seen online that a Japanese restaurant has sold eggs with different colors of yolk! Some ranging from red to even WHITE!!! How exciting! Has anyone made such colored yolks? I know it has to do with feed being offered. My question is, is what are you able to feed to...
I've ordered quail eggs via ebay from a good seller. She collected and shipped the eggs but so due to shipping issues they were held off by one day. I've read it's best to let the eggs sit and orient for a whole day then place into incubator. Question is, do I dry hatch or wet hatch? What gets...

Hey guys, and gals I'm in a bit of a pinch. I'm picking up a flock of guineas, bantams and large hens from an older man that is unable to take care if them. His birds are all basically as wild as a March hare. The chickens I can deal with I have a pole catcher and wire hooks. But the guineas...
