Hi everyone! We are trying to come up with an easy design for a coop.
I thought, why not take a large dog house, and build a run that would connect to it and make a door somewhere on it? I think that could work, we are looking for a used wood dog house right now.
While looking we saw an extra...
I got a shipping date for my 6 chicks!! Aug. 25th, it would have been earlier, but we'll be gone for vacation and we didn't want to get chicks before we left. It's very exciting for me, and I wanted to share!
I'm planning to get chick supplies in the next week, except the food, I don't want...
On June 3rd our pigeon laid an egg. Two actually, but, one was no good and broke. I read that it's 18 days till they hatch. Today is the 18th day, and nothing has hatched yet...how long should we wait?
Our chicken hasn't laid any eggs since Friday afternoon. Is it normal to go a while in between eggs? She's a bantam millie fluer d'uccle. Is it just the breed maybe, that's not real big on egg laying?
Ok, last night I was at Trader Joes and I was getting a carton of eggs. Then I saw some that said "Fertile Eggs" on them. My husband said "Oh, let's get them and hatch them!" But, they're refridgerated, that's not going to work, I said "I think they're for eating..." Do people eat fertilized...

Hi there everyone! O Wednesday we got a 7 month old Millie Fluer D'uccle, a hen, it has laid two eggs so far. But, yesterday morning I thought I heard a crowing like sound, and I told my husband and he says no, that can't be right. So I thought it was a rooster far away. No. This morning I heard...
We have 4 pigeons. Two paired up and the female laid two eggs. But sadly, one egg was very soft and broke. This means she needs calcium, right? Or should I get a multi vitamin that includes calcium for her? I will be going to the feed store today in a little bit to see what they have. Does any...
Hi! Today I placed an order for 6 chicks. I requested them to ship late August as we will be gone for the summer. I was just going to order 4, but I added 2 more just in case a couple don't make it...
I ordered an Australorps, 2 Easter Eggers, 2 Silver Laced Wyandottes, and a Blue Cochin.
I'm...
