    Can you keep chickens in your house

    I just got 3 Seramas and my plan is to put them in the garage for the winter so they can stay warmer but it seems so lonely in the garage. I am trying to think of a way to keep them in the house for the winter (small and clean enough to keep my parents kinda happy). They are of course the size...

    How do you Keep ducks in the winter ?

    Ok so my ducks live with my chickens which means they will get a heat lamp if they want it. (They can go outside if they want to). I have banty hens and a large 12x12 coop/shed. My biggest question is how do you keep the ducks from playing in the water and splashing it out? It only took them one...

    I too have one that seems to be crowless. Its about 6 months old now and I always thought it was a pullet till recently it started developing saddle feathers and today he jumped on a young hen. I have never even seen it attempt to crow. I do have a lovely rooster that does the crowing but we...

    Oldest Cornish Cross?

    I saved a CX this year. I never had one before and was told they are fat lazy birds that won't move 10 feet to get a drink. I also read that they have heart problems and can break legs due to their weight. This little chicken is the coolest little thing. It apparently love me because if follows...

    Moving Male Duck in with older chicken flock?

    As much as my mom would hate it I was considering getting him some girlfriends. I might have to wait till next spring though because I'm not sure where I will get them outside of a farm store. So far everyone seems to doing well.

    Lest see your best stink eye!!!!

    Quote: I got Henry from a friend after I lost my chickens to a fox while I was on vacation. He had been in a smaller coop with alot of chickens and being low on the totem pole he got picked on. Like I said he was almost featherless, the uglyest thing I had ever seen. I almost didn't take him...

    Moving Male Duck in with older chicken flock?

    So this is my first duck so I'm new to this. I got a duckling and a chick this spring and raised them together. Unfortunately the duck turned out to be a drake, there went my duck egg idea... So the Duck (Ducky) and the chicken get along just fine and live with two young roosters and another hen...

    Cornish Cross - Meat Birds

    I just got a CX chick from a friend who works at a farm supply store. They thought it was going to die so she placed it in a box in her pickup but even after only giving it blue mountain dew and a tiny granola bar for 3 days it is still alive. So I have taken it in. I've never been able to eat...

    keeping chickens cool in hot weather

    These are all great ideas. I live in Oregon also and it has been cool until two days ago and its gotten up to 80-90. The poor chickens were taken by surprise. They live in a three sided horse shed so the whole front of the shed is open for air and all the corners let in air but the roof gets hot...
