There is a demand for more humane slaughter. One method is to have the processing come to the birds instead of the other way around -- saves the birds a lot of stress. Also they use stunning methods to make sure birds are unconscious when killed. Look at the "Animal Welfare Approved" site. They...

One of my Silkie x hens hatched out a nice brood a few eeks ago. I left her with the others but in a big cage. One by one the other Silkies got in with her, so i finally ditched the cage. Now there are 7 babies and 5 mommies. Every night they sleep in a big pile.

Brilliant!

Very interested!!! I'm in WI and will drive to you.

I was in exactly the same position last year. The boys grew up together and got along. They fought for dominance but it wasn't a big deal. The biggest problem was that they would gang rape the hens. Some learned to evade them but for some it was just too much. Nature took its course and 2...

Sclark, that would be perfect but yeah, you're over 4 hrs from me. Unless some of your chickens hitched a ride with your friend's Icelandics...? Yeah, talked OE with cuties, thanks. Hoping to meet sometime in the middle. Cindlady, that might work! PM me? Unkadan thanks that's not too far away.

Does anyone have hens/ pullets/ eggs from any of these: Faverolles Favaucana Wheaten Ameraucana Speckled Sussex Partridge Rock Olive Eggers And if so are you not extremely far from Walworth County? Also someone sent me a nice message on this forum but I lost it and never responded. Sorry...

Excellent packaging and lots of extras! Hookbill and Runner eggs arrived with zero breakage. It was a pleasure doing business with you! I will let you know how the hatch goes. BYC is not letting me post this under "feedback"

Will do, thanks!

@bigzio This was just supposed to be a humorous way of asking people to offer eggs and birds.

To everyone in this forum: I have been following this thread for a couple of months now and I'm a bit disappointed. Obviously most of you have been very practical in your breed selections, you work hard, you celebrate with friends and family. Where is the chicken enabling? The guilty confessions...

Same thing happened here! One of my ducks just vanished. A rooster got grabbed too but he left a lot of feathers. And this is also the first year I've had predator attacks. Before I had dogs it was always this time of year when mother raccoons appeared. Maybe one realized the dogs were not a...

Do you still have the Bielefelders?

If your chickens find out you took away those juicy cabbage worms you're gonna be in biiig trouble...

Can you get close ups on the individual fruits? Also are there any spikes along the branches? They would be like tiny, pointy branches and that would mean hawthorn. Same as thorn apple I guess.

Ok, even a veterinarian would not diagnose an animal based on a description, never mind give a prognosis. All anybody can say is what has happened in their own experience. I think you should read up on how to check out various stuff on your own chicken and proceed from there. Anybody have a...

Yes, as long as it doesn't sound like a rooster! One of mine sounds like a tiny elephant.
