    Official BYC Poll: What type of bedding do you use for your chicken coop in the summer?

    Engine Exchange question? (for cars, etc)

    Question on leaf helper spring kits?

    Is keeping a bunny in a cage cruel?

    Cages if big enough are fine for a rabbit. Being outside is also fine as long as the rabbit is protected. Frankly I would take anything else they told you with a gain of salt.

    Can a duck drown in a bucket?

    I would get rid of the bucket and get a small kiddie pool.

    Attack

    Is my hen broody?

    Most broody birds won't like you touch them. Mine were all hand raised and I can pick them up any time I want much to the distain of my rooster. When they are boody you aint sticking your hand near them in the nest without getting pecked.
