    What are we

    I got these two chickens from a friend of mine. They were giving them away. I know one of them is a Cinnimon something. The other one he was not sure. I know it has its feathers growing down to its feet if that helps determin what these are. In the back corner are the guineas that were...

    Keets are almost six weeks

    I was thinking about that but it just has a top with chicken wire on it so there is not break for the weather if we have any and if it is windy there is no wind break it can go right in the top. I think I will just put them in the hen house and go from there. It is slightly bigger then the box...

    Keets are almost six weeks

    I do not think I will be building another coop for awhile. This one took a lot out of me. One other question about what to put on the bottom of the hen house. I was going to get some peel and stick linoleum and put straw or wood chips on top of that. Any suggestions.

    Keets are almost six weeks

    This is the coop that I made. The hen house (the red part) is 4x6. This is what they would be in with a heat lamp for the next couple weeks. During the day when I am or my wife are home we would let them in the open area. and close the door to the hen house. After they get acclemated to...

    What are we???

    I am assuming they are all the same since they all look the same color but I do not know what kind they are. They are about 4-5 weeks in this picture.

    Thinking about Getting Some Ducks

    I share a large pond with my neighbor. I was wondering if there was a a way to train ducks to stay on my side of the property when they get out of the pond. There is a privacy fence all the way along the property that stops right at the edge of the pond. Just wondering if the pond would work...

    Keets are almost six weeks

    They have been on about 26% protein feed since I got them. They are all almost full feathered. They should be fully feathered soon. A second question I had was when can we let them free range. We have always had the intention of free ranging our guineas. What is a good age that they will...

    Keets are almost six weeks

    I got some keets about 5 weeks ago when they were must one week old. The will turn 6 weeks this Saturday. I have built them a chicken coop and was wondering if 6 weeks is enough to move them out of the large (48x48x48) cardboard box and into the coop. I live in TN so it does not get terribly...
