    Plugins or something?

    Sir, Blockbuster was on top when netflix came to them and asked them to adapt. In this case you're blockbuster and I am trying to get you to adapt... but just nevermind getting a headache already. Im' going to go do what netflix did. I' like the hill you decided to stand on.

    Plugins or something?

    Yes, my goal was to add the ability for people to see and get notifications etc from their BYC accounts while viewing my website. I was not trying to make my own forum and if anything I was trying to cut work load out. The plugin would prob have been a wordpress plugin or some other. It would...

    Plugins or something?

    I don't want to create a forum. I was looking for a API or a plugin that allows another server to read the data from another. It would not be creating anything. It would if anything just be redirecting the people and traffic towards you... I feel like I am asking this in the wrong place and a...

    Plugins or something?

    Does backyard chickens have a plugin or api or something? I would like to directly incorporate it into my farms website. There is no reason for me to create a forum or re-create the host of knowledge this company already offers. That coupled with the fact we don't sell any of the same products...

    Where do you guys keep your supplies?

    if its steel, just make sure its painted to slow down oxidation and to allow it to survive the elements longer. Even galvanization wears off over time.

    Chick poop with clear water

    I would be more concerned with the paper used as bedding...mold, slippery and a million other reasons. I use pine (Flake, not shavings) and prefer the deep litter method (just add more as it gets dirty). Shavings are too fine and can mess with their respiratory system. Can get them super...

    Landrace/adaptive breeding discussion

    I am trying to breed them with silkies who are too broody, to introduce that into the RIR and I am adding Brahma (Both Dark and Light) who also go broody but also most importantly to me... makes the birds larger (silkies will shrink the reds) but with the right balance I think you could get the...

    Attack from unknown source took two of my girls? Pics/NSFW

    Hawks dive bomb, breaking the neck and take the bodies with them. That is a specific kill shot to the back of the neck. Ground predator, weasles would have piled the heads into a pile.

    Landrace, Rooster?

    If one was to try to make a landrace chicken breed... how does one control the rooster problem? See the goal would be to let them adapt, right? BUT If you limit them to say one rooster, does it not stagnate the results? Causing a bottle neck on the male side? How does one balance these issues...

    Where do you guys keep your supplies?

    I have a lot of birds/feed and it attracts rodents. I bought a $40 container on wheels made of solid aluminum. Will hold around 500lbs of feed. If you use plastic, they chew through. Has a heavy lid, attached (and lock) so its only not (bear proof). I keep it, outside, next to their run that...

    When should I let my 9 week chicks live with the adult hens?

    I move mine out at 6 weeks to start their separation/but together phase. Make sure your rooster can't peck inside their cage (rabbit wire > Chicken wire).

    Can I dose everyone?

    Oh okay! I thought you meant; Perma outside! They might just be weak genetics... it does happen. Out of every batch of 100 I make I tend to have 1-2 that are like that. I used to seperate them and try to help them... but half would still fail and I was afraid I was adding some weakness back...

    If I close of the genetic bottle neck and just...

    I had not heard anything about it... I just randomly have the infrastructure, land and the birds and a large pool of genetics. However... I am still held back on ethical concerns. While I feel like it would save more lives and make a stronger breed. The thought of just throwing the birds to...

    Can I dose everyone?

    What's your night time lows? If its like sub 80 I would not. Not this early. What size? They still prob need at least 4 weeks to feather out. I tend to start around 95f and drop by 5f every week. (As the low). You can push it, however you will have a higher rate of "failure to thrive" and that...

I live in the Appalachian mountains... very similar to the...
