Hello! A friend is giving us chickens, and I’m looking to build a run for as cheap as possible, and I was wondering if plastic netting is a safe option. The point of the run will be to keep the chickens from other parts of the yard (berry bushes, garden). We have a big fence and a dog guarding...

Hello! First time posting so hope I'm doing things right. We have had 3 Aylesbury ducks since their feathers started coming through. When they reached near full size, one of the biggest, named Eliza, began limping. We contacted the breeder and she thought that she had just pulled a muscle. We...
