Chicken coop and nesting boxes. Protecting from the weather elements and bird droppings/urine/parasites? My coop wood is pressure treated and I'm awaiting for the wood to dry out before I either stain or paint it. With regards to this, I'd like to know what those of you who have been there...

Hi all...need help in diagnosing what this growth is on my chickens claw and how to get rid of it. Note, my wife didn't snap the best photos, but I believe it's enough to see what's going on. Please advise. Thanks all.

Completed a big project for me.... Trenched out nearly 200 feet, installed a 1" water line with two frost free yard hydrants, installed a 100 amp cable with a sub panel and 8 outlets. Plenty enough power to work with. For the past five freezing winter seasons...I have been filling up five...

I love this fatty girl! I also have a couple brown colored hens in the same breed. We also love the large eggs they produce, but don't know the breed.

In years past, as we got more than one to two roosters, we either sold them or gave them away...because the crowling was just too much. Well, I know have 4 roosters with two of them too obnoxious with their crowling starting anywhere between 3am thru 8am. In my neighborhood, we are all on a...

Picked this goat up and believe it's a Nigerian Dwarf...? Please help to confirm.

Picked up 5 ducks today...but don't know the breed. Anyone know that can advise? Thank you.

A too and two hens from the same breed, but I don't know the breed. Picked them up today. Hens are laying green eggs. Please advise. Thank you.

We reside in the central Virginia area and I'd like to add more rare breeds to my existing flock, but I don't know where to turn for them. I have considered mail order...but I have never used a service like that and I wouldn't even know what would be the best recommended site for this. Help...

Riddle me this....why does one of my Bourbon Red's puff up like a Tom from time to time?

We have had ongoing issues with red foxes, coons and possums. These predators come and go and we have wiped them out as we can. I currently have dog proof coon traps (x3) along with some catch and release traps. Of course my intent is not to release them...but to put them down as quickly as...

Can you name what breed this duck is and if so, please post it up. The quality of the photos isn't all that great as it was digitally zoomed in...so any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Well, our poults vary in age at this point.... between 4 and 1-1/2 months. We've had them separated from the rest of our flock that live together....Rio Grandes, Bourbon Reds and Chocolates along with various breeds of chickens. When we let our adult flock out of the coop, we'll release our...

We learned that some our chicks are hatching and we found one today with a missing top beak. Don't know how...but it is. Will it grow back? I can't imagine the chick can survive if it doesn't. The chick was born this afternoon. Thank you.

I have been raising our flock of chickens, turkeys, ducks and goats for the past 3 years...though we are new to raising turkeys. ;) We free range our chickens and our turkeys...well, sort of with the turkeys. I say this because we recently saw that our turkeys were roaming too far away from...

Are their vaccines you give to your newly born kids? If so, what are you giving them? I have raised a couple Pygmy Goats with no vaccines....burst we now have a new Kid, about 3-weeks old now, and wonder if we should give her vaccines? Thank you.

Very strange.....something I'm not use to dealing with though I have minimal knowledge of raising ducklings. About 3 years ago we raised 6-ducklings into adults and no problems.... We took the same approach and started raising 6 more. We got into our 3rd week of raising them....which they...

Born today on April Fool's Day...which is my birthday. What a treat!

Here are the six ducklings:

We have added 5 more turkeys to our flock and we are very excited. Prior to adding these five turkeys, we already had two Chocolate turkeys; a tom and a hen. Our additions include: 2x Bourbon Red hens 1x Black hen 1x Rio Grande tom 1x Rio Grande hen Now, before introducing the new...
