Kill them or they will kill all of your flock .

Lots of straw, I go through this every spring I put straw all over the chicken yard just so I can walk in there and so they are not standing in that mess.

That's awful are your neighbors aware of what their dog did? Some times you need to take matters into your own hand and do what you have to do to protect what's yours. Maybe a special meatball made for the doggie.

I. Understand your frustration. I have had to deal rats for a few years now. They invade my barn when winter comes around,last week I caught 8 of them.

I purchased (Peking Ducks) from Tractor Supply 2 years ago and they actually turned out to be Muscovies. I absolutely love them they are so sweet and friendly and I wish that I could find more to add to my flock.

What is the best way to get a mite infestation under control.

I went through this last year and I thought I would never get the rat infestation under control. This might sound crazy but after trying everything else I mixed maple and brown sugar oatmeal with plaster of paris and maple syrup together and made little balls and left them where ever their...

I bought 3 white silkie roosters last summer and one has green earlobes, what is going on here?
