Hi all! It's been a while since I've been on here and I have moved since so here's my question. Anyone know what the laws are for unincorporated Satellite Beach Florida concerning keeping chickens?? I have found nothing that specifically says no. And the legalese is hard to understand anyway. So...

My husband and I live in Murphy, North Carolina, way up in the mountains This is our first adventure in to chickens and I...
Will garlic help keep mites off the chickens? I read an article that said to take 5-6 cloves of garlic (not the whole bulb), Put in the blender with 2-3 cups of water and then add that to about 2-3 gallons of water and give as the only water source for a day or so to keep the parasites/worms...
Be very careful grabbing a black snake by the tail!! The ones around here are very aggressive. My husband was bit by one just the other day. We have had 3 of them in our coop in the last 2 weeks.
Two babies today!!! I couldn't wait for one of mine to go broody and now I have two!! I think they see each other doing it so it's kind of a 'everyone else is doing so why don't I' thing. Which could get interesting cause I like my eggs for breakfast too!

My next door neighbor was raising some rhode island red chicks for them and she offered to raise a few brahmas and some EEs for me so I got 4 ees and 2 brahamas. Well they were doing great minus the one that the neighbors dog got a hold of. Yesterday my neighbor calls me at work to inform me...
Has anyone seen or bred some of these?? I'm thinking the crest with the beard and muffs would be soooo cute!! If you have some post them cause I'm curious what they would look like!!
I've heard that noise!! One night I was woken up from a dead sleep by very loud, VERY close screaming/yowling. Every hair on my body stood straight up and my heart started pounding. It continued yowling for about 10 minutes until it got too far away to really hear well. It traveled down the...
