    Cougars are WAY scarier than Bears!!! We have both prowling our city during the year and the big cat is something that I never want to see ever..... bears on the other hand we see quite often!

    High Insurance Premiums for homes with Backyard Coops?

    Thanks for your replies - I'm in Canada also! I don't have any heat or running water, and really, if the coop gets destroyed - it's going to be cheaper to rebuild it than insurance! (Unless I'm looking at upgrading!)

    High Insurance Premiums for homes with Backyard Coops?

    Has anyone experienced this? We just got a coop through an urban chicken project. When I announced it on facebook, someone posted this on my wall. Jen did you ask about your house insurance, we just had to set up new house insurance and we were told there would be a very big premium on homes...

    Got my pullets today - trimmed beaks? Feeding advice!

    Hi everyone! I got my pullets today, and it looks like 2 have had their upper beaks trimmed. I have an organic chicken scratch for them, do you think that will be OK, or should I be giving them something else? Thanks!

    Our New Coop - Urban Chicken test site!

    I agree! I don't know why there needs to be a test site either considering where we live! We're hoping that after the reports are all in from the 10 sites, there will be residential chickens allowed here! There is a group of youth employed for this project, and they are the ones that...
