They had been together since they were born, and they are like a small gang. Even tho I think some of them have different mamas they all have the same daddy. It’ll be interesting if they meet the old gang of girls. There is a little boy and 5 little girls. He is hilarious trying to crow and talk...
Looking to start a garden. Pretty sure the Tennessee is in zone 7? If it just tell me. But looking to figure out when to start seedlings. Inside or outside. Still in the high 30s to sometimes low 50s.
so it got really cold here in Tennessee from like Christmas, maybe earlier than that, until about a couple days ago. I’m talking like in the teens. I live in the south east area. My rooster has really dark red almost fully black tips on his comb that are frost bitten. Like a inch from the tips...
I have dogs.. what do I need to do for that? And I’ve also got an incline in the back yard. From 0 it’s probably a 10 degree incline. Or 170 degree idk which way that would be lol. Any tips on a not flat yard?
its only October I know, fall time best time. We’ve had our chickens since... June? And with it becoming more cold, what are some good things to keep in mind? We in south Tennessee, but our winters can get pretty cold, speaking from someone who knows how cold cold can be. We have some silkies...

i got my hens 2-3 weeks ago. They are fairly big girls and I've seen them lay before. But when we got them I was only getting maybe 3 eggs the first week and this week only 2. I thought it was just stress of moving but I don't understand what's going on. It's been a good which since they were...
so where I have my quail is in a 2ft by 10ft cage. And we have a gravity feeder for them. Then the feed falls the quail like to rub their face in it. It's a later feed, gamebird, with cracked corn in it. My question is, is that my puppy is almost 4 months, and I'm pretty sure it's her that is...

this morning I came out to feed the ladies and noticed I had one that would not come while the others did. She was laying on the ground wth her eyes closed. We went in to put her on the roost and she would just lay there with her eyes closed and her head turned. We thought she might have had an...
I've got an actual quail farm started but I just got some 4 week old chickens. I don't have their coop set up yet. So is it okay if they are with my quail? All my quail are in cages so the chickens won't be right with the quail but I know that I'm suppose to take care of quail first and then...
I've read that moth balls are good for keeping mice out. But what about chickens or dogs eating these?? What other repellents can I use to keep things out of my coop and run?
Can birds from the wild infest my quail with mites? I have straw bedding and they usually bathe themselves in dust from it. But also can a bird that was trying to build a nest near my quail and then the nest kept not getting formed have mites in it?
These are from about a week ago? So I'm thinking they are 3-4 weeks old? I got them from someone after they took Easter pictures with them lol. What are they?
Once i have my coop built when can my chickens go outside full time? It's about 80 degrees now. But I'm not sure how old they are. They are getting feathers now though on their tails and and their wings.
