    Opinions about these Marans?

    Ok, I took another round of pics a month ago and I’m just getting around to updating y’all. I should probably go get some new pics because they’ve filled out quite a bit in the last month. Their sister started laying a couple weeks ago and I love her egg color 🥰 Cockerel #2 never grew a tail...

    Raccoons: Do they ever leave?

    I know a lot of people have already mentioned a hot wire, but I wanted to add that this has the best chance at being effective if you “train” the raccoons to the wire/fence. I take little pieces of aluminum and fold them over the wire about ever 5-6 feet like little flags, then put a smear of...

    Opinions about these Marans?

    If this is the wrong place for this, lemme know :oops: 3 months ago I hatched some mail order BBS Copper Marans eggs. Out of the 5 that hatched, 4 are cockerels 🙄. They are all very sweet, and I’d like to keep one or two with the hope of getting some olive eggers out of my Ameraucana hens and...

    Keet Color ID Help

    The one on the left in the first pic (for batch of keets #3) is supposed to be the pearl grey that’s just there for comparison. He’s actually in the #1 picture as well.

    Keet Color ID Help

    So, I just hatched 20 keets, and I wanted some help IDing the colors because the last batch that I hatched had two that I would have sworn were both pearl grey, and one of them feathered out buff dundotte. I have a friend that specifically wants only dark colored birds so I want to avoid...

    Electric Fence Questions

    I just bought an electric fence charger, and I want to set up a temporary electric fence for grazing goats and keeping predators away from some chicken tractors. The instructions that came with the charger say I need 3 ground poles, 10 feet apart and at least 50ft from any underground metal...

    Just so you guys know, I am leaving a bator full of hatching chicks to come see you. Two are out, 3 more are pipped, and I'm gonna leave the house. It's completely unheard of

    If anybody wants a baby goat or two, let me know and I'll bring them. I was going to bring them regardless, but my brother left town for the weekend, so I don't have a truck to put their portable pen into. I'd like to avoid having to walk them around on leashes all day if at all possible

    REALLY NEED HELP: I've read swollen/sour/impacted/pendulous crop(pic)

    You might want to use a "crop bra" for a while to support her crop in the proper position for emptying. I used to work for a parrot store handfeeding babies - every now and then when we started to offer a baby solid food, we'd get a baby that would pack his crop so full that it wouldn't empty...

    Wyandotte breeders, what do you think about this roo?

    Quote: Ok, so I'll definitely give him some time and see if the tail grows back Just for my education, other than the tail, what is wrong with his type? Right now I've got a wide assortment of breeds, mostly one or two hens of each, but I'd eventually like to do some breeding. The biggest...

    Wyandotte breeders, what do you think about this roo?

    Haha... I don't know about the tail, I keep hoping more feathers will grow in. I'll try to get a better picture tomorrow. Thanks for the input!

    Wyandotte breeders, what do you think about this roo?

    So, I have this crazy old uncle-by-marriage who breeds just about every type of chicken imaginable. A couple months ago, my brother stopped by his house on his way back up from South Florida and brought me a BLRW roo. I don't know much about Wyandottes, so I'm wondering if this is a good roo or...

    Quote: Wow, God bless you for taking care of that little girl! She looks a lot like my girl, Nina (the boys' mom). Actually, that first picture reminded me of one I took of Nina - technically it's the first picture I ever took of the boys: Slight difference in girth Do you have any other...

    Actually, my best milker is due to kid any day now. She's so big right now, I wouldn't be surprised if it's triplets. SO, I should have plenty of fresh milk by Feb 12th for anyone who wants it

    Here are some pictures. The one with the brown ears is Cody, the one with the frosted white ears is Wyatt. I bottle fed them a little in the beginning, just because I was worried that their momma wasn't letting them nurse enough, but I eventually let her take over. They still got picked up and...
