I have a Midget white in with my chickens. I had 3 at one time. Lost 2 to blackhead and now treating the third for blackhead. She is loud in the morning and this is since she started to have blackhead or it's because she is alone now. Not sure but she squawks all morning. after having this...
I have a Brinsea Ova Easy 190 with humidity pump. I used it for a year but am now upgrading. I'm asking 700.00 for it. Pick-up only, Durham, NC
PM me if interested.

I would make a complaint to animal control or if you have a gun just shoot the dog. Particularly if the dog is on your property. Dogs that kill livestock or destroy property shouldn't be tolerated.
So I have a Broody Marans. She set on some fertile eggs to no avail for 25 days. I had a hatch going so I placed five new chicks under her two nights ago. I came home and she was still in the nestbox with the chicks, an elevated nestbox and I did not want the chicks to fall out. I removed...
Spring hatch in full swing. However due to predation I have one foundation hen and one foundation Cockerel, I have 10 younger pullets that are a month or so from full lay. My foundation pullet is laying huge light brown eggs almost daily so by June I am hoping to have 50-100 birds on pasture...
What we do is collect the insects fresh, preferrably alive and then Freeze them in Zip Lock bags and keep them frozen until you want to feed them to the chickens, preferrably during the cold season as there are fewer insects out. If you have a Dessicator you can dry them out once they are...
I'm planning on collecting and freezing these cicadas for future feeding. We do it with soldier fly larvae and the chickens love it and it's a great free source of protein for the birds during the winter. You can also dry them like the dried meal worms. If you can stomach gathering up the...
An interesting article for those wanting to know if this bird truly is worth the hype!

If anyone is in North Carolina and will be at Chickenstock in Lincolnton on the 18th of May I will have a select few additional Black and white Bresse Chicks to sell. I'm placing most of my stock on pasture this month but need to raise some money for fencing. Let me know if you are interested...
I will be attending and bringing a selection of chicks and Juvenile's of the following breeds:
Cream Legbar 15.00 ea Pullets 10.00 ea Cockerels
White Bresse 20.00 ea straight run
Black Bresse 15.00 Ea straight run
I will have limited numbers of these birds. PM me if you want to pre-order.
I have five in a separate cage that are looking remarkably well, eating, drinking and no worse for wear. That doesn't mean they weathered the process without pain. Chickens have a remarkable ability to recover from injury. This Saturday I will remove them from the hospital cage and put them in...
Thanks for your kind words. I think that the issue here is the bottom line vs reality. Americans have been so acculturated to the Cornish cross that it's going to be an uphill battle to get them to value a tough, skinny rooster, young or not. Fact is we can barely give them away these days...
A cautery can be used. I think in my case it's a matter of the learning process and I genuinely was sorry to have lost the birds. What is interesting is that the first bird we did was the oldest and it went quite smoothly.
