    Just another reason to check with the neighbors before getting peas...

    wow... there goes my dream heh. Hubby would murder me if i got these and they scratched his car...its not new, and its not perfect, but my grandmother bought it when she knew she was probably going to die soon, and left it to him in her will, so he is VERY protective of it... you would think it...

    Duck house near pond...

    So far so good, got some good advice on type, those cayugas sound AWESOME, love the idea of black eggs, though it looks like the color is a coating that might come off?? Then again that is the way of most colors isnt it? Dark colors anyway on eggs. Now, need some advice on structure :)

    Duck house near pond...

    Ok, we have ascertained that the lake is safe by the fact that it has huge fish in it, so i want ducks. Ive decided to house them separately from the chickens, because the chickens will be in a chicken tractor so that i can move them to fresh pasture every day or every few days, and i want the...

    Hidden Forest Coop

    frankly i think it is ridiculous that you can buy three acres of land and not be "allowed" (on your own land mind you) to have chickens.. for crying out loud. THIS is why i just spent my entire inheritance on a piece of land OUTSIDE of town... and if they try to incorporate me later im fighting...

    Just another reason to check with the neighbors before getting peas...

    Chicks in late summer/NY

    Well since the "other" trailer that im talking about is going to be torn down and not lived in anymore, from what you are saying this would likely work out? My main concern was from what it looked like everyone WAS keeping them in their houses and i didnt want to do that, because i figured it...

    Chicks in late summer/NY

    Ok, this didnt get many replies back in the day, so im resurrecting it in hopes of getting more, rather than start a new post and get a "UTFSE" (not that ive ever actually seen anyone on BYC say that, but once bitten, on any forum, twice shy LOL) I FINALLY closed on my farm, two months LATER...

    Free range chickens question

    as to predators, barbed wire and electric fence around the perimeter of the property, a secure coop, and as i said, possibly chicken tractors... of course we also have a twelve gauge, a couple 22's and 9mm should they become necessary, but hopefully prevention will be adequate, also planning to...

    Free range chickens question

    six acres with probably 4.5 of that open flat pasture and the edges wooded and overgrown. Very lush greenery, a small pond, house is towards the back of the property with probably 300 feet to a seldom used road, a chicken farm (yeah, really lol) to one side and neighbors very far to the other...

    Free range chickens question

    ok, forgive my ignorance, but what are "game hens" and do they lay good eggs? lol. Cause my setup is going to look a bit like that as well, with plenty of open pasture and some wooded and weeded areas as well, though im leaning more towards the chicken tractor idea, if i can find a design for...

    "Flock Block" what do yall think of this?

    http://www.tractorsupply.com/en/store/purinareg%3B-flock-blocktrade%3B-sunfreshreg%3B-recipe-20-lb For free range or chicken tractor birds.. has anyone used something like this? It looks to be twice as expensive but at the same time there should be less waste i would think? We are planning...

    What to feed chickens to lay more eggs.

    I notice you have a LOT of different birds in your signature, do you feed them all the game bird pellets?? Seems like that would make life MUCH easier... heh. I keep reading about keeping birds separate from eachother and feeding them different stuff but i want to free range with a good safe...
