    What gender & breed are these

    Are those nice breeds? We have a nice group of chickens that don't bother each other. Polish, frizzles, Eggers, cochins. Thanks!

    What gender & breed are these

    These were given to me. I've wormed them. Looks like 1 of each to me. They've been raised together never seen another chicken. I had a rooster before & he was really sweet (frizzle bantam cochin), but he was not kept with other hens. Thanks!

    Is this normal with his head?

    The air quality has been bad. Dust from west TX & smoke.

    Is this normal with his head?

    My 5 yr old peacock is sitting on various perches just seems to be staring. Is he really upset with a mouse in his house or is it something else? He pointed the mouse out to me running around yesterday. He doesn't want to bite our fingers like usual. He calls, struts his stuff, flies. In south...

    Hog panel floor for tractor run

    I like those! They look so doable! A lot with things I have on hand too. I have a whole bag of the long staples even! Thanks!

    Hog panel floor for tractor run

    Those are great ideas! I'm so glad we don't have weasels here! I'm hoping I'll enjoy my chickens more in a tractor. It's sad they can't free-range anymore. I have some industrial velcro I could use.

    Hog panel floor for tractor run

    I live in predator alley- coyotes, foxes, racoons,, packs of dogs... I really miss free ranging my chickens. I'm thinking of building a tractor. I've seen them with the sweep out, which is what we have on the coop & run. But ours is buried. Sitting on top the ground is not going to work neither...

    Black shoulders dna feathers said male & female

    I sent in feathers for dna testing and the 1st time it said this black shoulder was a male. The 2nd time I sent it in said female. It's about 3.5 months old. Both parents are black shoulders. I hope the pictures show. This is the 1st time for me to post pictures! The other one has always...

    Daytime predator

    We are giving up free ranging unless we are outside in the late afternoon. We put up an electric net fence, but haven't electrified it yet. We added on a large run, using dog kennel panels & small square fence panels for the roof & I'm growing leftover parakeet seed in sections & moving...

    Muscovy female normal eyes or problem

    She's adorable! I got her a friend duckling when she was little from the feed store so she's not alone. It's really cute. They seem to like each other. So far the other duck seems to be a girl too. They did the needle on a string test. So far so good. I'm relieved!
