    I have been looking for a home for the mean rooster, while he stays in the dog crate alone. All the others are living in their run, and being very nice when they free range. I have one small problem though, well problem chicken I should say. The one that got named Baldy because of pasty...

    ok, I am 30 post behind, but... My uncle lives by GArden of the Gods park in southern Ill. Thats not too far from Evansville and they have mountain lions in the park. There is no fence keeping them in, and they have rather large teriitories so there is no reason that they wouldn't be in...

    Hi, My husband is thinking of free ranging a few guineas on his parents properties for tick control. What I now need to know is how much are they? Would anyone in the NWI area be selling older birds. Such as unwanted males, non breeding quality. I really don't want to do a brooder with them...

Somebody was crowing in the garage this morning, he's getting better but it is still so quiet that its hard to tell through the...

    Thanks Kristin. I am just trying to get the last minute hemming and hawing out of the way before I take a saw to the side. I would much rather shut them in at night, but wanted opinions. And thanks for the heads up on apples, I am planning to take a sledgehammer to a sock full of the corn and...
