I've been raising chickens for a long time, so I know firsthand how important it is to maintain top-notch egg production. Over the years, I've gained some experience in this area, so I'm happy to share my knowledge with everyone. What should I feed them? There are a number of nutritional supplements for chickens that greatly influence egg production. Here's a list of foods that can be fed to increase...
Good day! It's been a while since I've shared any news from my chicken coop. We keep hens for eggs—it's a shame to slaughter them, and the scale is limited, we only have a few hens, and we know them all. So I try to focus on egg-laying hens. And also on the interesting eggs they lay. I want to tell you about one rather exotic...
I've been raising ducks for five years now. I used to buy Moscow ducks, but this year I decided to get Peking ducks. They say they're the most easy-to-care-for and meaty. But it turns out they sold me Mulards. Although... I wasn't offended at all. Especially now that I've realized how easy this breed is to raise and how many advantages it has. These are the ducklings we had:...
A few years ago, I read online that many people were successfully raising quail from eggs bought at the grocery store. Apparently, all the eggs there were "good," unlike chicken eggs. All you had to do was buy a package of eggs (preferably fresh ones with an expiration date), pop them in an incubator, and within 17 days, 80% of the chicks would hatch at home. If the expiration date was approaching...
Good afternoon! I'll continue our story with the chickens. They've grown from chicks to young hens. There are also a few roosters. They've started crowing and stealing hens from the older rooster. These are the eight American chickens that have grown up (last time I told you how a friend's hen hatched them, but since she wasn't planning on keeping chicks...
Hello! I've already told you how we chose chickens, trying to select as many as possible when buying them. Today I'll show you how they've settled in and tell you the mysterious backstory behind the hens' mysterious disappearance. We decided to keep hens, mainly for eggs, because it was a shame to slaughter them. Only if absolutely necessary, and we didn't want to bother with slaughtering them...
We'd kept chickens before, but then we remodeled the yard, removed the old coop, and the hens too. So now we've decided to get some birds again, mainly for home-grown eggs. When I went to buy some, I had to recall my previous experience in selecting chickens. Since chickens are sold "by the head" at the market, if you need a dozen, go for it! But where's the hen?...
