    Using grub killer around my chickens

    I know I am late to this conversation, but I would love to know how people resolved this issue?! Our chickens, ducks and geese, have access to all of our land, but that has not put a dent in the mole problem.

    Legbar Chicks vs Araucana Chicks

    Hi All! My husband and I got some Cream Legbars last year and our first chicks started hatching yesterday :)! We are super excited about the babies, but we realized (too late of course) that some Araucana eggs might have gotten mixed in there. I think that the female Legbars and the Araucanas...
