Does anyone have reputable contacts for people in the US that raise green jungle fowl?
I’m joining the Facebook groups for them, but it’s hard to tell what is a scam or what’s trustworthy for breeders on those groups. I know these birds are expensive and hard to find. I’m really interested in a...
Hi, I'm Tim from the WI/MI boarder area. I am interested in a small flock of laying hens. Probably no more than four at this time.
Currently I'm not allowed to have chickens in my town even though we are a very rural, small community. I figure the time will come where we will be allowed to...
Hi! I am an experienced chicken hatching high schooler! I used to run a chicken business with my mum when we lived in Canada, now in the US Wisconsin. I wanted to run an ethical experiment/study on hatch rates of different incubating and egg conditions like egg weight and dry hatching vs...
Y'all I have too many eggs! My hens produced this many in the time frame of 2 weeks.
We've also gave away like 3 dozen eggs too
(I only have like 30 hens)
so I have this rooster that I got from a swap meet last year and the lady selling him and his companion hen said he has a frizzle, which he is obviously not. I did some research and I believe he is a sizzle. my grandmother wants me to show him at the county fair next year. he is a nice rooster...
Discovered our 4-month-old copper black Maran is a rooster. Unfortunately, we cannot have roosters in town. Free to a good home and willing to deliver in the central Wisconsin area. He is a friendly guy and handles well.
I've got quite a bunch of incubating going on as I've been buying eggs plus hatching my own. I'm having issues keeping track of it all. I would do another hatch along but that does take a lot of work and sometimes I don't give it as much time as I feel I should.
Thus, a couple folks suggested...
Hello All!! I am completely new to this community. I’m located in sort of central Wisconsin. I live in the country on an old farm with my husband and two little boys. We have 3 cows and 3 dogs. We plan to get chickens in a few months and I know very little about caring for them. So I’m thankful...

I've got 8 week old silkies, and out of the 8 I hatched most are cockerels. I'll be keeping 3-4 of the cockerels. The rest of the cockerels will be available for free.
We're in south central Wisconsin.
I've included a picture of the first cockerel to rehome. He has started crowing already.
Title pretty much says it all. Do I need to have vapor barrier on plywood, purlins, then foam closure strips, and then roof? Or will birds do just fine with just the metal roof on purlins. It will have very good insulation as it is a Woods Open air coop. Thanks in advance for any answers!
Hey all! We’re new (well, we will be this spring) chicken owners! Planning on starting small, 6 or 7 chicks, and building a coop. SW Bayfield County, where winter apparently has no intention of going on PTO anytime soon!😉
Hi everyone! I got my latest batch of chicks from the Racine Farm & Fleet. Turns out that two of my pullets are cockerels. I have a Brahma Roo (who, minus the spurs, seems to be fully mature--he tried mating with my three year old Easter Egger) and an Easter Egger cockerel (who is still sweet...
Sooo I ended up with almost all cockerels out of my silky and satin chicks… I need someone to take my Roos- either separate or together.
-7 weeks old, very sweet babies that love to sit on laps and get pets and attention.
I don’t want to have to cull them they are way too sweet and gorgeous...
We are looking at building our own coop. 8x8 lean to shed type. Hubby is a contractor but I’m having a hard time explaining how to properly add ventilation and insulation to our coop. We live in northern Wisconsin with temps in the winter dipping to -20 fahrenheit. Summer temps are highs in the...
