    How to fix a yard destroyed by ducks?

    Good morning all, The weather is starting to turn around and I don't believe that I will see any more snow this year.(At least not anything more than a dusting on a few odd days) All of the snow melted today because we almost reached 55 degrees. Feels like I should have the AC on already after...

    Can doves and pigeons live together?

    Thank you both so much for the advice. I built a loft so I have to decide between one or the other. I just love the look of a white pigeon/dove. Basically I was looking to house a pair of doves because I feel like they are more tame or can be tamed down to sit on your hand and let you feed...

    Can doves and pigeons live together?

    They are very similar birds so I figure this wouldn't be an issue to have a pigeon and 2 doves in a loft above my chicken coop right?

    Rabbits and Poultry

    Good point, that crossed my mind too. I could see a disaster if the ears were to ever drag in any snow and/or get wet, the way the wind whips in my area, probably a bad combination in sub freezing temps....

    How much land should I be looking for?

    I agree. They pant like dogs in the summer. I hate when all the poop freezes in the winter time. It is harder to keep the coop clean because of the fact that the poop builds up and freezes into a mound and holds the straw together like glue when its frozen and makes It pretty hard to get the...

    Looking for Chicks

    I use an old Hova-Bator. They are just the styrofoam incubators with the wafer thermostat in them. I turn the eggs by hand 3, sometimes 4 times a day. The incubators are only like $50 for the base model
