Yesterday we had a major monsoon and it has washed up billions or ants. I have hosed and swept them off my porch but today there are some in my chicken coop. I have ordered diatomaceous earth but in the mean time can I put these disks in areas my chickens graze? Or should I keep them in my house...

Henrietta, my year old Barred Rock had been broody for more than a month. I just couldn't stand seeing her sit in my cat carrier anymore. So today I brought her out. It's about 95 today.I gave her a cool gentle bath. Now she is out grazing and running around. She was clucking and running and...

I live in Arizona and need to figure out a way to keep my chickens water cool. I have huge water bowls but the water gets very hot. Even the water out of the hose and pipes is too warm. I was thinking freeze 2 liter bottles and add them to the water troughs. Also looking to invest in a patio...

I moved in here 3 months ago. My nextdoor neighbors have a huge beautiful husky wolf mix dog. The dog lives alone in their front yard as a watchdog. it is isolated, lonely and bored. The family's house is huge, and they habitate the back yard which is so far away they cannot hear the dog. Dog...

My next door neighbor's two 3 month old chicks died yesterday. The day before they were both lively, active and noisy. They were kept in a cage, had food and water. No predators. I wonder why. Sad. She had them as tiny babies. The weather was warm and perfect. What would cause this?

Wednesday night I awoke to the sound of my one year old Turkey Screaming. I moved in here in February and my house came with 3 chickens and one turkey. They had been abandoned for several months and the coop was disgusting and dirty. I cleaned the coop and set up the yard. They have never slept...

New to raising chickens. I inherited 3 abandoned hens who were already laying. I bought the polish crested baby a month ago, she laid her first egg today! Since I do not eat the eggs (allergic) I give them away. Are the first eggs good? The egg is tiny and white.

I bought a 50lb bag of higher protien pellets instead of laying crumbles 5 days ago and they are still not eating! They do forage and it sems like they have lots to eat but worried they are not getting food. What to do? I cannot aford more food this payday.:(

My Polish Crested baby got out today. Got my work schedule changed and my girls ran and followed me out of the gate. My 3 one year olds were easy to shoo back in the gate, but Ola ran away. Chased her for 3 blocks and finally she tried to hide. I snuck up on her and took me 10 more minutes to...

She just starting laying eggs a week ago. She refuses to sleep in the chicken coop, preferring instead to perch on the fence all light. It is safe but I worry about her up there.

My turkey, Lurkey laid her first eggs! She is almost a year old.

My friends little girl picked out this chicken yesterday. What breed is she? I forgot to ask. She fits in nicely with my Americauna, Barred rock and Dominique. 4 chickens and 1 turkey is enough!

Hello, I just took over a house that came with 3 abandoned chickens and a turkey. I spent 12 hours cleaning the 7000sq ft yard this weekend and now I am ready to tackle the job of fixing up the coop. The coop is covered in molding gross hay and the birds wont go near it. There are wooden shelves...
