    Beachside Chickens?

    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...

    Garlic for mites??

    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...

    Good and SAFE way to get rid of snakes?

    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.

    Pipping and zipping!!

    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!

    a VERY BAD DAY!!

    My neighbors husband is going to keep a very watchful eye on the rest, What gets me is they have a large dog that was outside at the time, He's kind of a chicken(pun not really intended) But I wouldn't think something would be brave enough to grab them in broad daylight with a dog around!

    a VERY BAD DAY!!

    They were just gone no trace except about 5 feathers on the ground, and a small maybe 1 foot wide hole under the fence, No sign of tracks or anything, which is weird because of all the rain it's kinda muddy around the pen.

    a VERY BAD DAY!!

    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...

    Cougars/Mountain lions In WNC?

    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...

    All you snake lovers...

    I wish more people would just "roadtrip" the snakes instead of just killing them. They serve a very important function in rodent control! Just yesterday I was checking on a broody hen when I turned to leave the coop and saw shiny black scales at eye level. Scared the living crap out of me...

    How do I make sure my broody hen is eating and drinking??

    I'd like her raise them, this is her first time. I have her confined in a dog house with a screen over the front door so she is able to see everyone but they can't get in. The lid lifts up for easy access. She has room to get up, walk to the food and water. I'll try to get her up and see if...

    How do I make sure my broody hen is eating and drinking??

    I have my first broody and I don't think she is getting up to eat or drink. There have been no new poops in her area and the food doesn't seem to be disturbed. I tried to give her some lettuce and a tomato (normally favorite treats) But she just puffed up at me and kinda growled. I have...
