Hello byc friends! So I bought thirty 1 month old chicks about a month ago now and I have some behavioral concerns. When they were delivered to me (My Dad picked them up) they had the most severe case of coccidiosis I've ever seen, they were clearly malnourished, dirty and scared to absolute...
...sold us what they said they would. I will not tell you yet in an effort not to sway your opinion. But I will give you two hints,
1. They are *supposedly* pure bred.
2. They are *supposedly* a heritage breed.
All are in questian. Some randomly have red combs some have black some have both...
Alright guys and gals!! I need your help! I want to know if people prefer Morgan Wallen's music or Luke combs'?? I personally am a Luke Combs fan but I'm kinda thinking Morgan might get more votes🤷♀️. So come on guys and vote! Prove me wrong or right!
I know these people and I have had...
I have an interesting question for you. I bought these 30 chicks from a local breeder. They arrived a few days ago and are a month old. So there are two that look the exact same. I mean they look the same, act the same and just generally move the same. Do you think they could be twins? They are...
Hey guys quick questian. I got 30 chicks from a breeder in the state. It turned out their birds are neglected, malnourished and not overly healthy. I've lost two. I know the temperature of the brooder is fine. They get really lethargic start losing balance and are always fluffed out. Is there...
Ok guys, I need you!! My Mom and I are having a disagreement about the music band Journey. She loves them and I hate them. She says there's not a single person on the planet that would agree with me. So I need you guys to weigh in on this and settle it!!
Hey guys! So I have this really weird thing going on with 6 week-ish old my brahma chick. He isn't growing up and he's bald!! All my other ones are thriving and fully feathered. I am 100% positive he is getting food and water. What's going on here? I feed Alaska Mill and Feed chick crumble and...
Just a quick questian for you all! I notice that my turkey Jenny will not eat in front of me. Now, come to think of it I've observed my male poultry refuse to do it too. Atm Jenny is the leader of the flock because I don't have any males right now. Is it a dominance thing or something else? I'm...
Hey guys I have a questian for you all! So a quick story,
We decided to sell our two turkeys so we put up a legit crate and got them in the car. They were perfectly clam. So LONG story short, the jake freaked out and tryed to murder the Jenny. He has never been outwardly aggressive to her. After...
Hey all I really need your help! So I keep all of my animal feed and hay in my shed. I've seen mice in there before eating my grain so I set out the old-fashioned Victor mouse traps. So far I have caught 6 but they keep persisting. I'm so on edge everytime I go in there that 1 is going to jump...
Hi I am looking for a heritage chicken breed that is big and grows fast! Would Jersey giants be a good choice?? I do not want hybrid meat birds so these looked appealing since they're the biggest heritage breed.
Feel free to weigh in!
Thanks!
Hi all😭 my favorite brahma chick Aspen died today! I put a smaller cardboard box in their brooder and I think poor Aspen was smothered😵. I feel so awful! I've seen lots of people who put small boxes in there brooder with even more chicks than I have so I thought it'd be okay. Aspen was one of...

Hi! So this year I decided to get into Brahmas!! I am going to get 18 pure Brahma chicks and I am so excited!! Hopefully I will get them tommorow if my Dad has time to pick them up🤞. So the gal has 5 different colored chicks and I was wondering which color you like the best? I am hoping to keep...
Hi guys! So super quick questian for you all. My turkey jake's snood appears to be getting a bit dry (it is super dry where I live). You know when your hands are just a tad bit dry and they look kinda course and white and flaky? That's about what he has. It probably wont even show up in a pic...
Hi all!! There are two surprising treats that my chickens adore!🐓🐓
1. Frozen rice🤣! I stuffed some cooked white rice in a plastic tupperware and ended up not wanting it. I put it out in my chickens feed bowel over night and it froze and they LOVED it!!! They were going crazy! So if your flock's...
HI all!! I had this crazy idea to breed my turkeys and chickens together. My jake is fertilizing all the eggs and mates the hens in a way that is very gentle. So it just kinda seems meant to be! Has anyone ever done this? My best friend got his hands on a naked neck silkie ticken so it's been...
