    Making Lemonade [Selective Culling Project - very long term]

    With biscuits, you get your flour (we use self rising, but I'm assuming GF means gluten free) and add your fat. My mom uses lard in hers but some use cold butter. Anyway - when you add that solid fat, crumble your flour and that fat together so your dough makes little beads, like the size of...

    Smokey pearl rooster with different breeds of hens

    Sorry to respond to an older thread but what do they look like now?

    Stray Rooster

    They usually go where they know to roost, but if they're new birds and weren't homed properly they can sometimes wander away from the group. I've let newbies range with the flock and they follow the others well enough but some were a few crayons short of a 48 count and would wander off to roost...

    Stray Rooster

    I wonder if they're from the same house. Like a neighbor that let them range and they got lost in the woods or something. Hopefully they weren't dumped, but I know some people dump critters just because they can.

    I hope the surgery goes well and healing is smooth. Good luck!!! (PS the Bresse are so pretty)

    Stray Rooster

    I've been giving them egg shell on the side. They've hardly touched it - most of my hens are on winter break right now though with their age. Calcium isn't *as* important when they're not actively making egg shells.

    Usually it's a crumble feed. Depending on who makes it, between 20-24% protein. Edit to add I saw you use Nutrena brand in earlier comments. Their meatbird is 22%.

    I've been feeding mine meatbird for the extra protein. They really enjoy it and go after it first right now. I've been mixing meatbird and layer to make sure they still get some calcium and they pick and choose what they need most.

    Straub’s search for colored eggs

    This is a fun thread to follow!! I love seeing all the different egg colors when a new girl hits laying age. It's so fun to guess what she'll lay

    Hen died suddenly this morning and I don’t know why!

    Can I ask how old she was too? I wonder if she had a heart attack as well and went to the nest to hide since she wasn't feeling well.

    The thread for bad farm dogs

    I had a chihuahua and like most chis he thought he was big and bad until a broody hen chased him from her chicks and pecked his face. He stayed glued to my heels after that any time we went outside together 😂 I've never had other dogs around them, but my neighbors let their mutts wander in a...

    How do all of you deal with future laws banning the ownership of chickens?

    PETA euthanizes more animals than they adopt out, perfectly fine animals that can be rehomed. PETA believes *no animal* should be tethered by human connection, as any relationship with an animal is exploitative. They're a terrible organization at the heart of it.
