Silvergatefarms- Welcome!! I'm close to you! I haven't been active on BYC for a bit, but I live in Lampasas, a hop, skip and jump from you. There are several hobby breeders in our area, a couple of them dabble on BYC when theyre not building new pens or cleaning up chicken dirt...

Here in texas it rains about twice a month, and the rain doesn't wet the ground for even 24 hours no matter how hard it rains due to the intense heat around here. Mold does not grow in heat very well, either, no matter how wet it is. Most mold dies out somewhere around 90 degrees...we've been...

Fantastic!! this follows almost exactly the way our cubalaya pulled through. If you're not careful, you'll have a lap-hyappy house chicken on your hands! It took us an entire week of daily outdoor time AND being put outdoors in a former broody pen with little human contact to convince her...

Codybird- Myrtle beach...not exactly an unpopulated area, but nice! I vacationed there once, very beautiful! You are right about production. From my hens I get either three eggs out of four days or two eggs out of three days. I have several types of chickens, so I can tell who/what...

I had my chicken's wing chewed off by a dog...not ripped, but chewed. Similar, but not the same, so some steps might need changed. I cleaned the wound. Every blood feather (where there is a shaft but no feather, so it allows blood to seep out cvontinuously) needed plucked to reduce blood...

hmmmm...I am noticing a trend...city living folks think it is a foolhardy idea...country living types ALL want to know if you've found the next best thing to sliced bread.... I wonder who else will weigh in and see how this thread goes? BTW, POP, welcome to BYC!

For a goose...they like to eat seaweed and the other green junk on the bottom of a pond/creek etc. They also eat loads of grass. They are great lawn trimmers!! If your area has no waterfowl specific feed, then a 16%-25% chick starter will work. If the goose is closer to knee height, 15%-16%...

I have one thing to tell you right off. African geese are the ones people get to protect their property. if you want them to be friendly, then you MUST spend every last minute you can spare in direct contact with them as babies and juveniles. If you have any way to be with them while they...

With my goslings, I had them on 20% chick starter for the first couple of weeks. I had heard about folks having nutrition troubles and having to give them special diets...so I did some research and the regular feed for chicks does not have the necessary levels of selenium, vit b, and vit e in...

How funny!! One of the contraptions the hot-weather savvy use here is a mister setup.... LARGE outdoor fan...water hose or drip pvc setrup to drip water into the fan setup to create a floating "mist" area...it works very very well here...but with the humidity you are talking about...IDK...

lol..not every DAY Every week ...@ 8 lbs of onions and two bulbs of garlic. Everything is cooked.. family of one kid, hubby and I. When you break it down, its actually 2-3 cloves of garlic per day, and one or two onions each day, for an entire family, three meals and a couple snacks...

Thanks, BHR! Desperate need of rain, yes. From September till March it rained twice! The ground is so very dry that when it does rain, the ground acts like cement...so it doesnt soak in, it runs away and flash floods... completely useless. Thankfully, we have a live creek on our...

I like how you work, tex! KLet us know how it goes! Then maybe I won't have to pay my neighbor to come feed my birds when I go to my family reunion....lol. I have to tell you, automatic waterers work very very very well, too, and drip waterers. My chickens will go to a leaky hose long...

My family eats only my cooking, cuz we're cheap hillbillies who live too far from civilization to hit a mickye'd's more than once a month... and I use about 8 lbs of onions and at least two bulbs (not cloves, bulbs) of garlic while cooking...the results...near to zero mosquito bites!! When I...

I used to keep my flock locked in their coop until they paid rent...but for the last couple of months I just can't do that to them. I open it in the morning. The weatherman lies. I have thirty or so accurate thermometeres lying around for incubating...and just to see if the weatehrman was...

Texas hiker, I am with you. I am looking for a smaller deer feeder for this setup for each of my bird areas now!! A lot of people put out feeders to keep full at all times b/c there is no real forage available...usually due to space being an issue, or the need of confinement to keep...

I was just reading a report about this not too long ago. The shells are more porous on the higher altitude eggs to allow higher oxygen absorbtion and carbon dioxide exchange. The shells of near sea-level eggs are denser due to a much greater oxygen content in the air. It's all about the...

$10 would this be a plus shipping or shipping included, actual shipping, ??? Thanks!
