I hope you got a refund (or at least partial refund) for not getting the size you ordered! I would have been really mad.

Chicken coop in multi-million dollar neighborhood? Here ya' go. Yes, it really is chicken coop and run.

I do enjoy a good conspiracy theory.

I spent about five minutes picking slugs and snails off plants around my patio then fed them to my ducks.

Sorry I don't have any specific advice, but I am in a similar situation. Our rooster is always trying to get in a sneak attack on my husband! And he's around a lot, so I don't think your problem is necessarily caused by your husband being unfamiliar to your rooster. I genuinely think the...

A bit extravagant, but if I could build the coop/run of my dreams it would look a little something like this.

This behavior is hilarious. We throw them treats and our rooster, Smitty, alerts his ladies and some of them fall for it. Others have caught on to his game a little faster.

I'm new to this, and I have been giving my surplus eggs to close neighbors and friends. I am thinking that rather than selling eggs, I'll put them out with a request for donations toward the cost of feed and supplies. Because honestly I don't need the money, and I want to be a blessing to...

We thought we named our chickens but then most of them ended up "earning" names that were better suited to their personalities. One of our barred rock ladies is stuck with the only named that truly fits her: FATTY!

...that's MY name! Seems to also be a common(ish) name for dogs, but great for a chicken too

Yeah, they are sticking close together and "talking" to each other through the fence.

Thank you, I have separated her from the males and will keep her thus until I can decide what to do about the problem of over-mating. My poor little girl! Thanks again for your kind assistance.

I have three ducks; two males and one female. The males are healthy but about a month ago the female stopped eating, drinking, and was walking with her bill tucked down to her chest. I brought her in and gave her water with a medicinal dose of apple cider vinegar, and fed her unsweetened...

I am new to the world of backyard poultry (chickens and ducks) and I have a very run but I let them out to free range for two to three hours a day. Luckily I have never cared about having a perfectly manicured suburban lawn so it's never been chemically treated and there is a variety of...

I'm really new to all this but I think I read somewhere that the tannin in oak leaves can be harmful to chickens. But that is really the only thing I could see as a potential problem. Otherwise, leaves are great for gardening compost and should harbor lots of yummy bugs for the chickens too!

I would love to know more about this as well. How did pioneers feed their flocks before the convenience of local Tractor Supply store? Even very small homesteads fed themselves and their animals. How? I would imagine it takes planning, determination, and a lot of work, but there must be a way...

We are in Vermont and we have a terrible time with box elder beetles both inside and outside the house. They love our huge east- facing windows that warm up in the morning sun. We just got chicks and ducklings for the first time and they are all still inside the house (it's still pretty chilly...

I was considering making a light watercolor with food coloring and brushing it on a few feathers, a different color for each bird? Would that be harmful?
