    Peeheads Chicken Coop

    Peehead's coop I used cedar board-n-bat for a rustic look. The dimensions are 8 x 4 if I remember right and betwteen 6 and 8 feet high. I put it about a foot above the ground to give the girls more ground space and to deter rodents and preditors from living underneath. I...

    Spinal tumor?

    A couple of days ago I noticed my 2 yr old brahma limping. I picked her up to inspect her legs and couldn't find anything wrong with them, but was surprised to find a lump on her back, a very large lump under her feathers, about 3 inches wide! The lump is hard and fixed, the skin is normal...

    why do my ducks keep on running away from me??

    Its disheartening, but my ducks hate me too. ( it really hurt my feelings at first) No matter how much time I spent with them and tried to calm them down, they still clawed and squacked at me.

    What are my chickens thinking?

    Perhaps its the flavor....I'm on a well, and our water is really good, at least I think so.... or perhaps they are simply lazy. I have a feeling I'm not going to be keeping them together, It just doesn't seem healthy for them to drink dirty water. And I don't want to change the pool out...

I leave the waterer in the coop like I always have, where it...

    My ducks hate me

    About a month ago I picked up a couple of Pekin ducklings from the feed store. They seemed so skittish whenever I reached in to change the water and feed them. So I would hold them to try to calm them down..I wanted them to understand I wasn't going to harm them. They won't relax. Now they...

    What in the heck is this? (graphic pic)

    Wow, aside from the outside color, "alien christmas egg" looks exactly the same......hmmm. Mine may have not been laid today, I got home late last night so I didn't get the eggs yesterday, so maybe that is why the color looks different. By the way, thanks for the link. That was an...
