Hi, I've been finding rats in my run when I go out at night to check on my chickens. They were digging holes, so I layered the skirt with hardware cloth, and I think they are going under the skirt or finding little corners to go through. I started to take the food out every night and bring it...

Hi everybody, I am having an issue with one of my chickens. So, I have three chickens, which are the first ones I have ever had. There are all a bit over a year old. I have a speckled sussex named Matilda, a black australorp named Daisy, and a buff orpington named Maisy. About two weeks ago...

It’s from Omlet!

This is my buff Orpington Maisy when she was probably around 5-6 weeks old, eating inside her food container. Next hunt: Any rare breed

I’ve checked them, I actually already have chickens I’m just adding to my flock

Just so people know I live in Newton and want one lavender orpington, a blue chicken like a blue copper maran, and a cuckoo maran

Thank you so much, but I’m not quite ready for them as I am traveling soon and I would prefer to have them in September. I will call the places that you mentioned

Thank you for the suggestions! I will call Doge Grain and Agway. I am looking for specific breeds and it might be hard to find them all in one local store, but I will call them.

Wet! SO much rain! I have a bunch of green fruit on my tomatoes, peppers are flowering and some are forming, and wrapping up harvesting the lettuce which was delicious

Sorry, also meant to add that I also water quite well when I do water and I water when the soil is dry/when the plant looks like it needs it which is about once a week

I don’t have a cacti, but I have a succulent and I water it once a week because that’s when the soil gets dry. The leaves don’t look quite right when I skip a week, so that’s what seems to work.

I'm sorry I have no advice to give, but I am so so sorry for your loss. I know what it's like to loose a pet and I hope nothing ever happens to you like this again. :hugs

You have a beautiful pullet!

Hello! Just earlier today I wanted to order three day old chicks from My Pet Chicken. However, the minimum for my area is 4 chicks. Would anyone like to split an order with me? I can add a few of the breed you would like to the order. Our order will be shipping September 13.

Hello! I just found this thread and wanted to introduce myself! I live in Eastern Massachusetts.
