    Well I thought I had some turkeys lines up but with my grandma in hospice care and then passing away (after 12 days a long tiring 12 days) I wasn't able to make it down there (about 2 hours away) and they found a different home (I told them to go ahead give them to whoever was next). So I've...

    New Lavender Silkie Hen questions?

    So I picked up a lavender silkie hen yesterday. She's my first silkie and I didn't notice until looking at other photos but she doesn't have feathered feet. She's 3 months old so could it possibly change? I'm sure she's not show quality stock anyways, but wondering if that's a DQ for silkies...

    How steep for a ramp? Also nesting boxes?

    I am turning one of our horse stalls (in an old cow barn) into a coop. The stall is a good size (12 by 12) with built in mangers. It also has a window to the outside. This is a basement barn so while the window is about 4 ft high inside the stall the ground outside is only 6 inches down. Anyways...
