    Can chickens and pigeons live together?

    Very interesting post. I'd like for my chickens (silkies) and my future pigeons to be housed in the same area, but separated from each other, and then share a run. Silkies are less aggressive too, so wondering if it would work....

    Would love to keep Pigeons, and have some questions! :-)

    Hi all! So I'm a crazy chicken lady who wants to also become a crazy pigeon lady:-) I've always loved pigeons, and now that hubby and I are settled down a bit, we'd love to keep them and perhaps even start a dove release business! So, we have a house in Niagara Falls, Canada for the summers...

    Silkies! Male or Female? :-)

    Heya! Thanks so much for the guess! I like the guessing game, sadly though I cannot keep roos where I live....so panic panic. I'm going to have them feather tested when the black one arrives. I already have the white, that's why I have more photos. Black one comes this Friday....very excited! I...

    Silkies! Male or Female? :-)

    Hi all! I'm interested in these silkies, but it's hard to tell for sure what they are. It's the only photo of each that the breeder has put up.... The white she has listed as a female. The black is listed as unknown. I asked her about it and she said she thought it was a male, but now is...

    Foot problem/infection/Scaly Feet....

    Thank you SO much for the advice! I've been using Neosporin (after salt soaks) on her and then coating with either Vaseline or Mineral Oil. All the yucky black and raised scales are coming off, it's amazing! She is still favouring the foot and it is still slightly hot to touch, but not as hot...

    Foot problem/infection/Scaly Feet....

    Hello all! We rescued a chicken on Christmas Eve at an RV park we are staying at in Miami....we found her out on the driveway and spent 30 minutes trying to catch her....! She is a little Bantam and turned out to be the sweetest little lady....all she wants to do is snuggle and be with me. I...

    Oh no....could this be a roo? *Panicking*

    Hey everyone, thanks for all the responses! I was wondering if they were mixed up but it's impossible. She only had one BA rooster in a bunch of them and he's still there. Ellie and Andy were inseparable when I left them, and she says they still are....they never leave each other side and...

    Oh no....could this be a roo? *Panicking*

    Right? Just baffling....maybe he is a late bloomer, I don't know. But no crowing?! I hope she finds an egg! :-)

    Oh no....could this be a roo? *Panicking*

    UPDATE! Sooo, this is...interesting. The farm looking after my chickens for me down in Florida sent me some photos today....they are positive that Andy, is in fact, an AUDREY! I am baffled! No crowing, but she can't find the eggs yet....she is going to keep an eye on him/her to see where the...

    Hardware cloth floor or large apron? Which one? Experts needed:-)

    ...while we are in Canada for 6 months. We have built a run on their property that they will use after we get our babies back (so sad to leave them! *sniff*). I am going to do the same as at home and put their coop IN the run. I want to keep them separately from their chickens because of pecking...

    Give me pictures of your chickens and I'll try to sex them

    Here we go....each bird was $10 I believe. Took about two weeks between sending it and receiving the results in the mail. I did blood feathers.... http://www.accu-metrics.com

    Oh no....could this be a roo? *Panicking*

    I wish! :-( 99.9, I think it's better odds than the hatcheries. I have serious things to consider now!
