Here, it really depends on the pen. The free range pen, about the only bird I can get somewhat close to is the brahma×aseel. The others need to have food to approach me enough. Even then, there are a couple that don't dare go near me. In the mix breed bantam pen, I can go near...

I've heard countless stories and seen countless videos on Canadian geese attacking pedestrians, but to be perfectly honest with you, I'd quite enjoy having geese nesting over here. I'm sure the chasing isn't that bad either; surely a step down from getting chased by feral LGD packs :D

Send them to me :p

That's how it seems to be. Although it seemed like my last batched laid bad as well. They really struggled after that first year. Only one kept it up for one and a half more year. Very sad what is happening to these birds

My ISA browns went downhill way before that. It's also interesting to mention that the first batches of ISA browns I got lived much longer than the last. All of them were free ranged and fed what I feed my birds now The first batches would stop producing at 2-4 years old. They all passed at...

That's a ridiculous price for a planter. I bet the one you're making is better quality, too

Succulents would look amazing in there :love

Congrats on the new little chicks! Fret looks very happy. Be it a miracle, be it luck, I'm glad the other chick found a mum. Quite a story to tell, too!

I see. I guess that's where the food scraps come into play. Some foods are high in vitamin B. It's possible that Jenny enjoyed your walks. Or maybe she liked having a bodyguard escort her back home :p

That's a good point. Although my question would be, why not market it as such. It would draw more people to the product, I imagine

This question is not too chicken related, but it's something I've been wondering for some time. Shad, I'm quite certain you had/kept muscovies while in Catalonia. What did you feed them, if at all (self sustaining perhaps)? While I don't have ducks, I realised that I've never seen duck feed...

Congratulations :wee !

Tax for my ramble the other day

Slim. Not many people around here are looking for breeding males. Even if he does secure a flock of his own this year, next year he might end up on the dining table. It's also very unlikely that I find someone with no males who is willing to take him. Most people here have multiple males...

I have no other coops available. I am not opposed to butchering and consuming any "extra" birds (better than eating the supermarket meat, IMO). Right now the Tsouloufates are not self-sustaining, so all their hatches are incubator hatches. I'm raising quite a few chicks right now (some intended...

It seems I'm doing the same here. I am not enjoying what Kolovos's son is bringing into the tribes. As he's matured, two sub-tribes have formed. All of the birds his age, plus one from the older birds roost with him, while the rest roost with Kolovos. Unfortunately, he is not maturing as...

Well see, these new people think that the landraces are simply random mixes that have no historical significance, OR actual roots to this land. Merely modern-day mixes. Yet these "mixes" can be found all around Greece, look the same, and all the oldies I've spoken to recognise them:confused...

Here there weren't people interested in breeding or creating pure stock in the first place. Only now are people starting to get into breeding pure stock. Still, very few. What did happen back then was that in this free breeding environment of sorts, the land and the needs of the people shaped...

I'm so sorry! Hugs to you :hugs

I am slightly shocked by this response. When Cruella had her chicks, Lady Gaga was very good with them. Watched over them if they got away from mum, kept a close eye on them even when mum was around, called them over for food, all the good stuff. At around 2 weeks I think it was, while Lady...
