    This egg was found in the nesting box this morning. I have never seen one so small! She has been laying for 6 months now. How strange!

    Sizzle or Frizzle?

    No, they only have 4 toes. At the feed store some of them had curly feathers, so I figured they were all that way and picked those two. I didn't realise these ones didn't.

    Sizzle or Frizzle?

    At the feed store I was told that these were bantam silkie frizzles. Isn't that what a sizzle is?

    Should I get ducks? Questions

    If they are free ranged, can they forage on their own and survive without feed? Will my old 3x3 chicken coop work? How many will fit in there? Are barking dogs or ducks louder? Is a male duck much louder than a female? Thanks in advance.

    Foraging Breeds

    Does anyone know of a breed that doesn't need feed if they free range? Also, where can you buy them(if they exist)?

    Squirrels eating chicken eggs

    I had a problem with them eating feed, so I killed 7 with a havahart trap. Then I saw one go into its hole. I built a fire by it and in an hour I put it out. There was a strange smell coming from it and the whole hill smoked(out of holes) for some days. No more problem. I have a suspicion I...

    Plants in your run

    Darkmatter, What breed is about to eat a mulberry from your hand? Also you might plant pine trees in the run. I can't imagine chickens eating that.

    How tall of a fence do I need for a pygmy goat?

    There are lots of treats if he got out (like chicken feed, lots of plants, hills, garden). How high of a fence do I need?

    How small of an area can a pygmy goat get through?

    I am going to make a chicken coop but the door needs to be small enough for a chicken to get through but not a pygmy goat.

    Can you let a goat free range?

    Beside the obvious reason to not let a goat free range(that being that it will eat your garden) is it okay? Mainly I want to know if it will get lost or follow the chickens to the goat house. The goat house is not the chicken coop but is close.

    My 4 month- old hen is sleeping in the nesting box.

    At first we though she was getting familiar with it, but now she has slept there for 3-4 nights and no eggs.

    How do you feed chicks that are hatched from a hen?

    If your hen hatches chicks, how do you feed them? Chicks are suppost to have chick feed, so if the mom hen eats regular, is it okay for the chicks to eat regular feed? Or do they get fed regurgitated food like birds or something? Sorry I'm new to all this
