    Rain Water

    You did a pretty good job. Heating wise I am concerned because I have a chicken water heater that you sit a waterer on and it heat the water. Do you think I could buy a bigger one of those for a barrel or bucket?

    Dog Attack

    Update: We started yesterday with modifying the coop to make it more predator proof. I have reinforced the run and added locks to the doors

    Rain Water

    So I am sure everyone at some point in their chicken keeping career have thought about how your waterer is too small or not efficient enough. I have been thinking about just leaving a bucket outside and letting it fill up with rain water and then refilling my waterer from there instead of...

    Dog Attack

    My plan was hopefully when I put the chicken underwater I could see the blood and then clean it using soap and water. It's not like I was just going to dunk the chicken underwater and call it a day.

    Dog Attack

    I just found my dog with one chicken in his mouth, I believe he has taken two others and eaten them. This one has a wound on the side. She is being quarantined in a dog crate, I'm going to put food and water in shortly for her so don't worry. Should I take her to a vet? What can I do to help?

    Guinea for small flock.

    Do they need a separate coop from the chickens. The seven chickens I had have plenty of room in their coop and a whole roost they don't use. I could add 3 probably which I have seen kept together before. If I can keep them In the coop with the chickens what age would be the best to introduce...

    Guinea for small flock.

    Hey everyone! I just had my first chicken death today she was eaten by a fox. I want a Guinea or two for my backyard because I heard they are good "guard birds". I also heard they are loud and will walk away. I want them to be free range. I have about 2 acres of land and my neighbors are a...
