Can anyone tell me what happened with this egg my Easter Egger laid? It has a membrane attached on the outside of the shell through a hole of sorts. This hen is not feeling well right now either after this egg. She is sitting around fluffed up. She is 7 months old and just started laying being...

It really depends on what part of the country you live in. Some places are cheaper than others and much more populated. Me being up in Alaska things are very high here as everything is shipped up here adding a lot to cost. A bale of straw is $24. and Timothy hay is $26. I stopped counting at 500...

My hens are 23 weeks old and only one has started to squat around me, she is a Buff Orpington as shown in the photo. She is not laying however it's been another hen Mave who is an Easter Egger. She has layed an egg a day for 17 days. Two of the eggs had no shell and the eggs are quite small and...

We got ours in May from Meyers sent to Alaska. I saw a u tube video that showed an idea for a roosting poop tray. My husband made them and this works wonderful as they do most of the poop in the coop at night and right into the tray where they are roosting. Every other day I pull the one out and...

Here in South Central Alaska fresh eggs from the locals sell for $6. It all depends on what the market is where you are located.

My chickens were born May 19th and now I have them on 16% crumbles. I read you are suppose to reduce the protein and slow down the growth as it's healthier for them. I feed them greens from my garden, a banana which they are crazy for, and a scoop of cracked corn each day along with the crumbles...

I'm loving the perch/poop trays we have as they do most of their poop in there at night and they lift right out and are so easy to clean out. We found the how to video on line to make them so glad.

Yes I have seen this here too with the eagles and Goshawks picking them off when they are at the feeders in the snow.

Update on our 25 pheasant we turned loose 3 weeks ago at age 6 weeks. The photo shows them on 7/7/14. Today their backs are completely covered with feathers and I only see one that is having the pecking on the back problem out of all of them. They look really good and I can now see at 9 weeks...

I am feeding the pheasant Game Bird Starter. I don't have the tag now but I think it said 25% protein. The chick starter I have is 22%. The pheasant are doing really well loose and come to the feeder daily which I keep filled. I also give them corn. They have stayed together in a flock. There is...

Update to my pheasant comments and questions. We released the birds at 6 weeks old. I would have liked to keep them to 8 but as it turns out they were all starting to peck each other very badly. I figured they would have a better chance loose to survive. They are doing well so far out of 25...

My chicks are just one month old. I read that chopped up garlic is good for them so I tried it. Oh my gosh they are crazy for it. Just wondering if you have tried this? I would not worry a chick would choke on a worm after all they are not toddlers. My husband built our coop and used that...

Thanks not having raised them before I was wondering. I don't think they are picking each other and they all look the same and there is no blood.

I have 26 ring neck pheasant chick 4.5 weeks old. They are loosing their down and getting adult feathers but I find it odd to see all these almost bald backs on them. Is this normal in the process of going from down to feathers? This is the first time I've ever raised pheasant and I plan to let...
