    SLW and BO egg laying

What I am wondering is; since we are getting pretty cold here and daylight is only about 10 hours (give or take) could...

    Need advise on switching to grow feed

    We have 5- 12 week (Starlight EE) old and 4- 6 week old (BO SLW) chicks. Three of the 12 week old are cockerels (which we are rehoming in a couple of weeks, thankfully we found them a new home). I was told I need to switch them from chick food to grow feed. The protein is too high and cause...

    I got these sweethearts a little over 6 weeks ago and they were about 5 days old from TSC, Starlight Green Eggers, straight run. First up Arrow, 99% sure is cockerel, but seems really broody, sits and likes being pet. He grew very quickly and feathers and comb, wattles at about 4 weeks...

    Starlight EE crossbreed?
