Have found one, thank-you for your time.

Where exactly are you in fort worth? I'm in Weatherford. Would you deliver it for the price?

Oh I forgot to mention I'm in Weatherford, 25 min west of Fort Worth.

Where do I go to find local listings of chickens and roosters that are presentable to my flock? I been browsing craigslist locally but everything I have looked at has mites not in good health and mixed with all kinds of chickens disease looking and all. I'm looking for a couple nice colorful...

I have had an issue with the neighboring ranchs dogs. They killed 6 chickens and bit a baby boer goat to death. 4 border collie cow dogs (now only 3) for over 3 weeks now. I haven't been able to post anything on here about it cause they were sueing my fiancé for shooting and killing one of their...

Only advice I have is to keep everything clean and the grass mowed down where they can't hide and are visible. They will keep coming back you will just be able to see them sooner.

I added a sign one of my nieces made for me, "No snakes allowed" but in all seriousness try and keep the the coop and the surroundings as clean as possible. Rattlesnakes usually give a warning sign, copperheads are the ones I have found to be everywhere and anywhere.

Great job looks great. Did you mean to do a single L on Gallinas?

The "OP" did use a gun after his dog bit it. Everybody is talking about the "op" but it wasn't the op that made that post about stomping a possum to death.

My fiancé ranch is 1600 acres here in north Texas; While I'm not happy to say these things rodents or varmints don't even need to be near the coop if he sees it, it's no more. He feels the same for every snake we see even harmless ones. He said possums and skunks as well as many other rodents...

If your planing on doing anything in the inside you need to remove them temporarily from the area. Paint would be a concern for me but waterseal doesn't seem so bad cause it dries pretty quick. If it's latex paint it doesn't really seem to have toxic fumes as much as oil based, lacquer or any...

I purchased some used 4' horse fence 2x4 squares real heavy stuff on craigslist $100 for 330' roll. So I stacked it and made a 8' fence. Now my concern is the top because there aren't many trees around here but many hawks in the area.

I recently started making a 8'x20' coop. I put two 36" x 34" windows and a 48" x 60" window as well as two doors one with a 16"x16" window and it seems that is still not enough ventilation. I was working on it yesterday I'm west of the DFW and it was only 88* and seemed pretty hot inside. I will...

Wow I didn't realize it was going to take that much $$ to build my coop. I bought most of the materials and were going to start building tomorrow. It's going to be a 20'x8' coop and a 24'x29' run. Is this going to be enough for 40 birds or will they be too crowded?

Update on this chick. I let him out for awhile after giving him vitamins in the water and he is doing great now with no further treatment.
