It's got to be the heat. I'm in the foothills, and when it gets over 80 here it's too hot!! My production is down right now too, but I have 3 that have gone broody. Maybe the heat is bringing out the broody?
Hello everyone! Do any of you know of any guinea fowl breeders? My female escaped and ran off last night. My dog tracked her to her remains, something got her, . My male is beside himself, I'd love to find him a new friend. Thanks for your help!

Good morning!
I need your chicken opinion. I finally have a good set up for my birds. The birds in the main coop get a long beautifully. I have a separate coop that works great for brooding and raising young birds. I'd like to start earning a little extra income now that my setup is good...

I have seen that one, but the problem would be getting it from there to here Hubby is decently handy, so I think we are going to take a stab at it ourselves.
Keep checking CL. We're pretty handy too, but I've found refurbishing a playhouse, dog house, etc. is a real money saver. We...
It's been snowing up near me since 1ish. We've only got about 3" though. It's all cozy here! The chooks are tucked into their coops, and I have a roaring fire going in the house. I pulled 2 loaves of bread out of the oven a little bit ago, so the house smells yummy. Since it's yucky out...
We got 2 coops off of Craigslist for a great price. One was a huge 8x8 insulated dog house, and the other was an old playhouse I converted. I got the dog house for $100 and the playhouse for $75. Those were a lot cheaper than buying the materials!! The first coop we built ourselves. It's...

It's horrible out here in the front range, too. I woke up in the middle of the night to take our flag down. I was afraid I'd wake up to it stuck in my windshield!! lol It's not as bad now, thankfully. I'm surprised we haven't had more stuff blow around. Yikes!!
Nora,
Happy April 1st! I went to Home Depot yesterday to pick up veggie seeds. I'm ready to start a garden. We're just doing veggie plant pots this year. Hubby gets a little nervous when I start planning outdoor projects. Usually, I need his help to build a new coop or put up more fencing. This...

Maybe a mute point question here, but aren't you going to be under the same Jefferson Co ordinances up in Evergreen? Aren't they in Jeffco? Or is the land up there zoned differently?
I'm up in Conifer (as close to Evergreen as you can be w/o living in it) on 4 acres. According to...
Does anyone know of anyone locally who may have a female duck on the smaller side? I have a 7 month old mixed breed male who needs a companion. He's been raised with chickens, but he's started trying to mate with my silkie roo who is getting VERY cranky. I think poor confused Willie needs a...

I do not know how far away you are from Brighton, but Brighton feed should have what you need. I also make my own feed but we are lucky since we grown our own wheat, but I do have to buy corn, laying pellets, black sunflowers, white millet( they love that) and I mix in DE. It may be...

I suspect it might not even come from the HOA. Maybe someone is trying to just scare you??
anyone know of a clever set of names for a pair of girl WH's?
Laverne & Shirley? Thelma and Louise? Betty and Wilma? I like Betty & Wilma
Yeah, Betty and Wilma, and then when she gives in and...
