    Frisco Puppy Pads - safe??

    Hi everyone, does anyone here use Frisco puppy pads in their brooder? I ordered unscented ones, but now that they've arrived, I realized they say there's a "built-in pheromone attractant" to help encourage dogs to use them. Wasn't expecting that with unscented puppy pads!! Is this harmful for my...

    Chick Questions: brooder, medicated vs unmedicated feed, etc

    Building a predator proof run

    Thank you for the feedback! We were planning to also cover the roof with clear polycarbonate roofing to keep the run protected from the elements while still letting sunlight in, but we were going to have the hardware cloth underneath the polycarbonate just in case.

    Building a predator proof run

    Hi everyone, This will be my first time owning chickens & am trying to decide the best way to predator proof the run area. We have lots of predators (hawks, rats, foxes, raccoons, coyotes, neighborhood cats, chipmunks and squirrels, and potentially weasels as well). Planning to use 1/2" x 1/2"...
