    Comment by 'rheston' in album '2nd Coop'

    This is my 2nd coop and houses 17 hens. Electric line trenched from first coop for lighting and a heat pan for the water during winter. Just hope they don't ask for WiFi!!

    post your chicken coop pictures here!

    My second coop is now all but finished with electric in and the first coat of pain on. Just need to put the gutter on the front and vent shutters on the back before they ask for WiFi too.

    AVIAN VET - Northern Virginia

    I recently had to have a 19 year old cat put down and didn't want to have to drive a long distance to a vet. I was given the card of a Vet who makes house calls and then found out that she's avian qualified too. The cat was put down and, although they advertise no surgeries in the home, the...

    2nd chicken sick in a month symptoms are different

    If you have access to fresh pumpkins get them to eat the seeds. Pumpkin seeds will paralyze the parasites and they will pass through theri systems and help them immensely. If this isn't possible see if there's an avian vet in your area that you can call for assistance.

    Did anyone else get that email survey this morning about an hour ago?

    Do you mean the one that said you didn't complete the survey so you don't get a free bag of feed? Yes, I got it and I'm a bit upset because it looks and acts like a sort of malicious attack by someone who knows there way around sites like this and they baited people to respond. It may be a...

    Survey about your CHICKENS!!!

    What made you choose a particular breed of chicken? After some discussion with others who have mixed and "pedigree" flocks I decided that I didn't want all one type in my flock so I decided to play "Noah" and picked two of several (Buff Orpington, Rhode Island Red, Silver Wyandotte, Gold...

    Rhode Island Red Rooster looking for a New Roost

    Well, it's confirmed, of the 12 chickens I picked from a person who found them to be too much work three turned out to be Rhode Island Red Roosters. They are coming up on 12 weeks of age showing some beautiful coloring and developing their teenage voices. Sadly I don't want or need roosters in...
