    Freshly cleaned coop - this does not makes sense to me....

    Put the fly traps far away from the coop. See if that helps. The fish stink liquid may be attracting them to the coop area.

    How to get rid of Yellowjackets?

    Hit their nest with some starter fluid for cars and trucks. The distillates will rinse the wax off of the yellow jackets causing them to instantly die. The stuff will evaporate off and you can dispose of the nest.

    WELCOME TO HYATT FARMS It started about 30 some odd years ago. My dad moved us from a small city to the farm. Where upon over the years of my youth, we had Horses, pigs, sheep, goats, cows, rabbits, geese and yes chickens. I swore that when I left the farm for the city I would not venture back...

    Is there such a thing as wild chickens??

    The chickens in the Miami area are descendants from the chickens used in illegal cock fights. No one will claim the chickens for fear of fines and such. Thees chickens are not right in the head and never truly domesticate. Thats just their breed type really skiddish bird. I grew up in a large...

    2-legged prowler!!!!!!

    Go down and get an MK9 PEPPER SPRAY. Looks like a little fire extinguisher. If it happens again unload all 32oz on this fool. They even make the stuff with a purple dye that stains them for about a month. "Has anyone seen Larry?" "Why no haven't seen him in about a month." And if law enforcement...

    If you have a dog.....

    I have a rottweiler lab mix. She likes all of our chickens and rabbits. Likes them in the good way not the bad. Chickens are not trusting. But I have had rabbits get out all night only to find them cuddled up with her in the dog house in the morning. (No injuries)

    How do you stay within your budget?

    I have been lucky with rabbit, dog and chicken food. One month dog and chicken food next month after is rabbit. The only thing is in winter the animals will go through a lot more food. With the chickens I let them out to free range thus cutting my food bill for them. I don't like to eat fast...

    Mini Crock Pot in Coop

    If you were gonna use the crock pot I would put some sand in it. But really don't think you need it. If your birds are not feathered out put a crate that is easy for them to get in and out of in the coop. Put some bedding and straw in it. They will find it and use it to huddle up in when it gets...
