    CherokeeGal About Me I am a fairly new chicken owner and came to BYC first thing after bringing my babies home. My Dad the carpenter built a genuine Fort Knox for our girls (and one boy as we would later find out, much to my neighbor's distaste ). I have five beautiful hens and one plucky...

    Brand new duck owner with THE CUTEST BABIES EVER!!! (pics)

    They are both Blue Swedish. For some reason I just feel in love with the breed when I saw them. That's exactly what I did. Gather up you info, show them you know exactly how to take care of them, and tell them that you will pay. Lol that was a BIG selling point for me. Good luck with persuading...

    Rooster that won't shut up?

    Glad to hear I'm not the only person it's happened to! haha Well, so far we're going to keep him. I've decided to make it my experiment and try to decipher why he's crowing so much. Today I tried solitary confinement. I have been in construction on several different portable runs and decided...

    Coons- Advice and Ideas?

    Thank you! The fort within a fort is a great idea thanks! I talked to my dad about it we are going to make it so the door to the coop can be closed and locked. That way we just make sure the chickens are in at night and so we can lock them in safe house. I'm also going to look into a baby...

    Hogs VS Cattle on raising for a profit and for home?

    Hi everyone, After getting chickens (and loving it! ), my family has decided to have our land work for us more. We have four acres, and are considering raising hogs and or cattle to sell and keep. I've done some research, but can't really find any specific numbers for how much things cost and...

    Rooster that won't shut up?

    Haha Kooshie, my dad has threatened to several times. Ah, so I guess certain breeds and roosters crow more often than others? We're in a semi-rural spot. We have neighbors but they're just far enough away for it to be ok. I personally like to hear him crow- I just hope my neighbors can't hear...

    Rooster that won't shut up?

    Alright so I have a problem. When I first convinced my parents to get chickens, I told them that we would make sure to get all hens. No rooster. So, I made sure to have the girl at the feed store "double check" to make sure we were getting all females. She assured me and we left with seven...

    Coons- Advice and Ideas?

    Thanks everybody for the quick responses!! UPDATE! Last night we had another attempted break in. He/she tried to go for the same spot but the rocks piled there were too big this time and he gave up. ChooksChick I really like the idea of putting up booby-traps. And I still think we have our...

    Coons- Advice and Ideas?

    Well, it happened. We lost our first chicken two nights ago to a raccoon. Found the tracks in the morning. It was my baby Clemmie- the pretty little ruffle who had such a nice personality. Unfortunately, she was the slowest. Any advice on predator determent? Even though our coop is a genuine...
