You will need to keep the peas penned up a couple of months so they know where home and the food is. Your 4' fence will do nothing to keep the peas in. They...

I was wondering the same thing. I have some IB females & males that came from different places & I know the ages on & I'd like to be able to tell them apart...
Peahens need a size 10 bandette and Peacocks a size 12 but be aware they break easily after being on the bird for a while. That is why I went to the alum...
Hi Jan, actually the difference may be that I too feed an abundance of variety too. I also feed whole corn, cabbage, lawn clippings and scratch. I also...
Wow, That is a huge drop in egg production.. Hmmmm. I wonder if they should have higher protein food during egg season? .. I give mine lay pellets too. But I...
I also use the colored cable ties. I ordered a bunch online last year (cant remember the company name) they had about 10 different colors plus neon colors....

Thanks George! Now I see the difference between the white and the BS. The BS chick has some light tan on the end of it's wing feathers. The feather sheaths (?)...
Hi Tina, I ddo know what you mean.....I have 2 suggestions. one is the one a friend uses and she says it is quick and painless: she sets them in the...
