    To refurbish a structure or start from scratch?

    This structure (approx 30’x15”) is on our property and in-laws always used it to store wood. It has sturdy posts and a tin roof that needs a few improvements, but otherwise it is just bare bones. Would you try to refurbish this to be a fowl structure or start from scratch? Considering adding...

    Most docile large breed rooster?

    I will not be showing nor breeding for show qualities this time. I will likely have a mixed flock and they will be a source of eggs and possibly food in the future, but mostly just because I miss having birds around.

    Very sick baby! Help please??!!

    Do you have any Gatorade or pedialyte in the house? If so, I’d put a little of that in a shallow dish and dip it’s beak in there, for starters.

    Got cute pics of goslings, chicks, and ducklings? Funny stories?

    Honestly I just cut them down a tiny bit around the top and then cut a little hole in the bottom part and slipped it over them. No specific way really. I tried it with older ones and they were NOT receptive. 😆

    Help im new to this
