Hi there, I have 6 chickens of all different breeds. We live on a corner or a St. Rt. and a twp. rd. with about 4 acres of land for free ranging. Where do the chickens go? The neighbors, across the twp. rd. Yesterday I caught them over there eating grass. I count them and I'm like "there...
Hi there, my 17 week old Buff Brahma was attacked by a neighbor's dog the other day. Ugh! Her feathers were pulled out on her whole back side. No open wounds, thank goodness. She isn't walking, her leg is limp. I took her to the vet yesterday and he said she has no feeling in her lower leg...
Hi there, my first 10 week old chickens absolutely will NOT stay out of my bird feeding area. I don't have a run yet, so I let them free range all day. Of course they are always in that area. So do I really have to be concerned about them contracting avian flu? Should I be afraid?
Thanks in...
My girls all lined up! Buff orphington, Golden Buff, Buff
brahma, Barred rock, gold wyandotte and black australorp.
We were going to use Rhino liner in the bottom of the coop but it was going to cost $250 so had to go the glassboard option.
I have been doing some reading here but not finding much and am wondering how to position my coop for the first time in the yard. I have a 12" vent that can't be closed plus a window beside it. It's the same thing on the opposite side. Do I position it east and west so the air flows through...
I bought an automatic pullet door and my husband installed it. We are almost done with the coop and I didn't think a thing of it until now. We didn't allow for the deep litter method! Ugh! The door is now too low. The door is more or less in the corner of the coop. Would I be able to build...
I want to use this as a sprayed on surface for future washings out of the coop. My husband knows how to paint cars and has sprayed this before. I want to spray the floor and half way up the walls over treated plywood. Does anyone know whether this will be toxic to the chickens? I am going to...
This is one of my favorite breakfasts.
Blend in food processor or mash a very ripe banana.
Mix in 2 eggs.
Fry like scrambled eggs or make egg pancakes.
YUM!!!
I know some cannot free range because of living in the city. If you live in the country, which do you prefer and why? I am debating on whether to free range because of predators. We have about 4 acres of mixed mowed yard and woods. I do see alot of hawks in the trees at various times which...
I'm new here, don't have any chickens yet but am anxious to start. Hubby says we won't have time this year (deeply disappointed) but will start next year.
Thanks, Kristy
