    Your own dogs: Good or Bad

    Ours Australian Shepard is great with all animals. She lets me know when one of the girls is not where they belong, eating my hostas. Then she will help me get them back. We have a cockatiel that has run of the house and other small animals in the past and I have no concern. She use to...

    Quote: That's Awesome! I'm in Pleasant Grove and have two Buff Orpingtons and two Rhode Island Reds. They are about four weeks old now so they are going a little crazy in their brooder. I'm going to convert an old dog house to a coop. I've got to get on with it soon because my girls are...

    I have a 5 gallon bucket feeder, that has a PVC fill tube that is working great. I started feeding them mash and they picked through it wasting more then I wanted on to the ground. I switch to pellets and no more waste. It cost about $10 to make, the feed states dry and clean. I refill it...

    Help Please- my chick is 8 weeks old

    Looks like the adolescent males I have wandering around my house with hair in patches starting to poke out in all kinds of directions. My 8 to 12 week old chicks fit right in with my boys and looked just like yours! Remarkable how "ugly" they are as adolescents when they were cute babies and...

    Lawnmower vs Rooster GRAPHIC PICS/ Saying Goodbye

    It appears that weight is one of the concerns. To gain weight fat is best at doing that. It has 9 calories per gram, protein and carbs have 4 cals per gram. For healing you need protein. For humans we do calorie packing, add fat to everything. Whole milk products are excellent, protein and...

    Automatic Chicken Coop Doors

    I don't think critters could get into my Pullet shut door. It was easy to install, four screws. The programing did demand one early morning trip to the coop, but I have not change it since I installed it in April. You can open and shut the door without changing the programing. Or I should...

    Hen keeps getting Egg-Bound! I though she was gone for good.

    Quote: Thanks for the recommendation about calcium. They have had oyster shell free choice since they started laying. I will add calcium to their feed for a couple of days.

    Automatic Chicken Coop Doors

    My door, the Pullet-Shut, (maybe that is what you are calling the chicken door) closes like a regular door and is on a gear mechanism. It is flush with the frame. I don't think anything could get it open unless they use a tool such as a screw driver and significant force to break it. But, I...

    Hen keeps getting Egg-Bound! I though she was gone for good.

    I'm a newbie to.. But, one of my 20 week olds was laying soft shelled eggs and acting egg bond. I was standing outside with her and out dropped an intact soft egg in the yard as she was free ranging. Then she started acting funny, ruffled, distressed not moving. She had egg dripping from her...
