I need some advice on putting a tarp over my run for this winter. We do not get heavy snows where I'm at, may be 3 or 4 inches ever couple of years. I currently have a 8 x 16 run. I need advice on what to put up to slant the tarp to shed rain.
Very old picture of when I first built my chicken...
If you don't open the bottom how do you get the poop and guts out? I really have never cooked a bird with the internal organs still inside? Is that even safe?
ETA: I'm soaking them because that's what I read to do on this site?
I processed 2 20 week old roosters for the 1st time on Sunday. My husband "culled" the roosters, I plucked all the feathers, he cut the bottom opening and removed the insides. I washed them really good and removed some pin feathers. I put them in a big pot covered in salt water and I guess I...
Well as bad as their situation seems to be, they do have a computer and the internet. That's why my daughter like to go over there. BUT her disability can make her an unwelcome guest really fast. I think they spent 2 days there and my DD "had" to come home. Yep, I knew the reason. That's why God...
Okay story....

I have 5 pigeons that are arriving on Friday next week. I have a 8 x 16 aviary and 4 x 3 coop. I don't know where to buy pigeon supplies, but was wondering if they could use the avian nipple waterers? I do have a chicken type waterer if they can't. Thanks a lot!! Melissa
I really liked this thread. I watch lots of horse training videos. I wanted to train my mule. My husband trained his horse and did a good job at it. I thought (silly me) I could watch videos and my husband would help me train my mule. So when she was 3 my husband put a blanket on her and had her...
Looks good, but take one end and cover with wood on three sides to provide them with a wind block (and floor). You could make a pop door (may be has an access door already) and put a ramp for ground access. BUT don't expect them to use the ramp to go back up at first. Make the ramp wide, wider...
