    Can I keep our chickens away from the house???

    Thank you everyone for your input! Our garden is right next to their run and I'd love it if they would go in there to clean it up at the end of the season... The coop is about 250-300 feet from our back deck with plenty of things to get into close to the coop...maybe that will keep them...

    Strange Lines and Spots on Comb

    About a week ago, one of our hens started showing blackish lines on her comb. We've been keeping an eye on it but now there are little, almost dry looking, spots. Has anyone ever seen this? Is it normal?

    Free Roosters

    Unfortunately, two of my chickens have recently started crowing and I already have one rooster so I can't keep them. I'd really prefer them not to turn into dinner because they're both very pretty birds. They're 13 weeks old. If anyone is interested, let me know! I live in Galesburg, MI but am...

    Are Golden Pheonix Bantams Worth It???

    That will have to be something to think about...our Swedish Flower rooster is about 13 weeks old and a little larger than our standard hens. I'm thinking he will grow a little bit more too :/

    Hey everyone! A friend of mine from work has some Golden Pheonix Bantams that he is giving away for free to a good home. I currently have 5 full grown and 6 six week old large breeds (not integrated together yet). I am debating putting my claim on 1 or 2 of these bantams but I am curious as to...

    2" x 4" Welded Wire for Run Apron

    Possible "Mutt" Breeds

    I've got a fun one...I purchased this bird when she was 4 weeks old as a "mutt". She's grown into a very interesting looking girl. I don't really care what breed she is but, for fun, I was curious is anyone had any ideas of what might be in her :)
