Thread: Anyone raising chickens

once they learn where the safe roosting place is, it will make it easier. I wonder if my grandma has any chicken training tricks? I'll have to ask.

LOL... Oh great, now when someone searches for chicken porn, SRP will show up. LOL

we raised turkeys also....you only feed them for 6 months and you have birds from 18-35 lbs and very tasty too !!!

Deerhunter, how are the chickens going? I have a pair of Blue Laced Red Wyandottes, a Lemon Blue Old English Game hen, and a few black Silkies. It's a strange flock, but it works.

wow talk about back from the dead good if you do s search in the finer things in life i have pics of the coop and some of my flock, im getting about 5 eggs a day now and more are getting ready to start laying, i have to go get 5 more full size hens from a lady who cant take care of them over the winter, i also have about 5 roos that im butchering to sell to a guy who likes fresh meat. congrads on the birds and ive got stranger ive got many types of chickens turkeys guinies a goat and a horse all live together.

I've got three chickens, I think they're Rhode Island reds, but one could be a Light Sussex. generally I get 2 eggs a day; sometimes 3, sometimes none. They wander all around the backyard, they're good for keeping the coddling moth at bay around the apple trees, so they're pretty much completely free range. I feed them a mix of grain and laying pellets plus scraps from the table. I think three is a good number, chickens don't like to be in groups that are too large. When you hear about free range chickens on farms, often there are hundreds of them in a field. As I understand it this is not how they like to live. I have some large bushes in the backyard and they appreciate the cover of these bushes, on open field makes them feel vulnerable.

Deerhunter you say you have 5 roos. You don't have kangaroos, do you?
