    Chicks go outside!

    STINKY! Even changing their bedding 4 or 5 times a day didn't help. It just cant be healthy keeping chicks in the house and with 2 kids and a husband to worry about out they went. They are now taking up residence in my garage. They are cozy and happy and my house doesn't stink YAY! I...

    You put a chicken coop with Roosters in it right next to your neighbours house and you're mad at HER for complaining??? I'm as much of a chicken lover as the next gal, but how can you not understand where she's coming from? In her position i can't say i wouldn't have taken things into my own...

    I was just going to fence off my veggie patch to keep the dog out and let the chickens do their thing because the patch hasnt been fruitful (unless you count the weeds), i figured a season of chickens would do it good and i would start over with the veggies next year. But, after looking thru...

    Thanx everyone for the wonderful advice!! Babies are home and happy *i hope*. All they do is sleep, peck, poop, and peep. *peep peep peep* It's been a wonderful experience for me and the children. I put shavings under the paper towel, it has helped. As for the waterer, within half an...

    chickens and dog

    i'm gonna say lab. if you get it from a pup you can train it not to eat your chickens. instinctively when they retrieve fowl they do NOT pierce the skin at all, a trait that i think would make them a good chicken keeper. If chickie goes where they mustn't the dog can retrieve it and put it...

    Someone insulted my chickens!!! :(

    Quote: the labs with the "big blocky bodies" are most likely male english labs, they seem to have a lot, and i mean A LOT of loose neck skin which i affectionately call a waddle. they are a very sturdy dog that grow to be 85lbs, the females are slimmer (60lbs) but still very stocky. The...
