This recipe was so close! Thank you so much!!! It was delicious and easy to make! I'll definitely make it again!!

Hello, I am looking for some black orpington chicks. I do not want to have to order 15 chicks just for a few. Does anyone have any? I currently have week old chicks in the brooder right now.

I don't have silkies, but last fall I did have an EE hen go broody. She was having a hard time hatching out eggs so I had put some in the incubator for her. At first, she wanted nothing to do with them - she would puff up and peck them. So I separated the hen from the chicks with some wire mesh...

Hello everyone, I have an update. I am not sure what happened to the chick at its time at the feed store. It wasn't frostbite as this has been an unusually warm winter - and it was not a burn as the store used lamps and they are positioned pretty high. I ended up soaking the foot in some...

Edit: is this early signs of bumble foot? Ive been looking for pictures of early stages but cant find any.

Hello, I just brought home baby chicks, got them in the brooder and took care of any pasty butts... However I noticed this chick has a swollen foot? These chicks are only a few days old from the local feed store.

Thank you for your recipe! I am putting it on the 'lasagne to try' list I have!

Hello everyone. About 3 years ago I had asked my grandma to teach me how to make her lasagna, unfortunately, she passed away right as she was gathering the shelf-stable ingredients. I have been craving her lasagna and it makes me cry every time I think of it because we were so close (gardening...

I never heard of garlic being bad for chickens. Other animals yes, but not chickens. :O Ivermectin I think has a withdrawal period yes? And I can add the permethrin to the sand now. I usually add a combination of barn lime and DE to it anyways. Elector PSP is too expensive. I know mites can...

I already put garlic in their water lol

Hello everyone, I am sure this has been asked plenty of times, but has anyone heard of something I can add to a chicken's drinking water for mites? Otherwise, what can I do to help them out? They are not keen on being handled and frankly, I do not want to chase after them. Even when they are...

Hello everyone! I have contacted the state, and they said that as long as I don't sell more than 1000 processed birds and I do not sell to businesses/restaurants, I am exempt from licensing. That being said, I also asked about having to either hatch out or if purchasing chicks is fine, they said...

Is there a taste/texture difference between the rangers and the cornish? Any site I go to says they prefer rangers but then I go to youtube to watch what farmers prefer and they say cornish. What are your opinions?

Does anyone know the CO law for processing and selling poultry directly to a consumer? From my understanding as long as I do not sell more than 1000 birds AND have the proper labeling and record keeping then I am exempt from licensure. But then the wording gets weird and says " A producer who...

Thank you everyone! I have put off raising meat birds for so long just because it was unknown territory! I am definitely raising the rangers this spring!
