    Rooster started attacking us

    I have a 2 y o jersey giant that turned mean at about 9 months. I was in the garden and he was suddenly on my head! No urgent care visit, but scary. Then he hurt my Jack Russell just for being there. Since the birds free range, I kept a rake at each door to step outside. When the weather cools...

    Ducklings 6 and 7 weeks outside?

    Basil, the drake, is ok with other animals except my jack Russell who he runs off the deck. I am fairly certain there are 2 males and 5 females in the new batch with the lil guy unknown yet. He was the smallest at the store and still is. Thanks! Will definitely keep an eye out.

    Ducklings 6 and 7 weeks outside?

    Should I keep them separated longer? I have 3 adult Rouen hens and 1 drake.

    Ducklings 6 and 7 weeks outside?

    I have 6 and 7 week old ducklings who are mostly feathered and who my family wants out of the basement. It is still 40 for the low this next week. They have a hoop house. Should I wait a week when the low is 50, or can they be moved now and use a heat lamp for a week? I want to wait but my...

    So this has nothing to do with buckets but I didn't know where to put it and wanted to share the laugh. There were some cute calico princess chicks that I have never had and the Ducklings had outgrown the brooder anyway.... lol. It is 2 weeks before they can go out and the county next door just...

    I have been studying (by listening to lectures while doing other things) the age of human cultures and the migration patterns. Lol obviously not a topic for this board, but as I was listening to people arguing I couldn't help but remember your well said comment. Also my family wants to know if...

    Yes, they are #2 which is one of the safe numbers. 1,2 4,5 seem to be safe. But the home depot website said that it wasn't food grade. Not every 2 is. It does seem to be a safe enough resource. However, for my waterer I am going to check the local bakery for an old frosting pail.

    I have never started my own plants. Lol my mom said it was too hard but, looking back, we didn't have the space or light. I turned my basement into a barn. 3 brooders going just now so it is warm. I was thinking about getting a grow light and trying some seeds.
