    Reform a cannibal??

    So, we found out a week ago that our most loved Hen in the family started going after the other chickens feet to the point of drawing blood. I wouldn't call it 'pecking' per say even though it is,,,,butt almost like biting. She really pecks hard and pulls as if with the intent to draw blood...

    Chicken's 'ankles' both bleeding

    Hi. A beginner's question but first some background. We had about the coldest day probably of this Winter today. It was about 19.5 degrees Fahrenheit and windy. For that reason I checked on my chickens every couple of hours during the day to make sure that they had unfrozen water. As I...

    Creating shade for chickens in a small space in cellar?

    Hi. Had a question. As the temps begin to rise we were considering some ways to create some shade for our chickens. We have no trees or natural shade so we'd have to create something artificial. We also considered opening up a little space in a cellar area next to the chicken run that isn't...

    Putting a chicken coop on property with NO shade! Beginner needs help.

    Hi. We would like to get chickens but we only have one small space on our property that is big enough only for a Coop with a small run. We already ordered a Omlet Eglu with automatice coop door, and it's on it's way. The biggest problem is that there is no shade because the area is right...

    Keeping chickens on another Lot

    Hi. I have a kind of strange question. I have not found the topic through a search so I thought I'd ask. We have wanted to have some chickens for awhile but because of yard space we can't. Lately, we have found access to an empty lot. It's about 5 minutes away from us in an Urban area but it...

    Is it worth it to keep Quail primary for egg production?

    Hi. Asking because I'm just learning about Quail. Also looking into Chickens but I have a very small area for Fowl and I shy a bit away from Chickens because I don't want plans and things damaged. It seems most people get Quail for meat production as well. I'm just not sure I'd be ready as...

    Muscovy ducks in a small garden area?

    Hi. I'm considering getting some kind of Fowl. I was first considering chickens but now I'm looking into ducks. I have a very small area on the south side of my house where I could keep them. It's also on a pretty steep slope at places and not much more than about 5 ft. wide. I was also...

    Chicken coop too close to the front door? ;)

    Hi again. Because of restricted space about the only place for us to build a chicken coup and run would be... 1. on the south side of our house (ie all day full sun). and 2. It would only be about 7 ft. away from the side of the house and only about approx 15 ft. FROM THE FRONT DOOR. Is...

    Picking location for small coup-----direct sunlight question.

    Hi. I would like to have a small chicken coup. I was thinking only of a few chickens because space is limited. Some of my best options as far as space goes happen to be facing south and in the summer time it gets full sun all day long. In that case would it be impossible to have chickens...
