Hi guys!
Time is nearly here for me to finally start my flock!! Its been five years since I last had chickens. Moving from the Pacific northwest (up in and around mt. Vernon area) to beautiful Bismarck North Dakota. Finally got a chunk of land 5 acres with loads of apple trees, plums, Choke...
Hello fellow flock keepers!
I am coming here to get some opinions and TWO main questions regarding the coop I'm going to build.
First is location, I have just moved to the outskirts of town and I am now able to have chickens again! So my 1st question is the only space I can have my coop is...
That's a good question I'm also curious. I had my routine shots when I was born exc. But I was never taken in for any flu shots, or in middle school i didn't get my MMR's. My mother said she did not vaccinate for whooping cough, in fact she always mentioned she never even heard of whooping cough...

Actually I was living by the new legacy high school at the east ridge apartment complex but I have. Ow moved outside of city limits just a 5 minute drive outside city limits tbh. BUT!!! I agree 100% I shall most certainly do what ever i need to get that ordanence passed!! LETS START A PATITION...
Hey fellow north dakotans!
I was just wondering what sand I should get for inside my chicken coop. I live in Bismarck so knife river is the cheapest I can get a load of sand from. Hey have a few types and was wondering which I should get
