    Hen Getting Aggressively Singled Out

    For harsh climates. Yes. If your chickens can go outside from sunrise till sunset they only need roost space. About 1ft each and 1ft apart. Depending on the size and temperament of your chickens. Small bantams only need ½ ft x ½ ft roost space. Count for another ½ - 1ft extra space from any...

    Black Friday shed deals for coop?

    imho: Plastic is lousy material for indoor climate (moist, heat, cold) regulation. Not as easy to make alterations as wood and not good for the environment either. Wood has only one con, its a good habitat for red mites too, so you need to paint the inside with chalk or diatomaceous earth. With...

    This really doesn’t make any sense to me either. I had expected more sympathy too. 💕 Hope the start of Sunday will be promising too and no more disappointing things will happen. 🤞Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

    Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

    My ‘second’ run has an odd shape (only 6m2) and has one pole in the middle to keep the net up. I put cat netting on top, with a thin metal thread inside. This netting is really good. It holds for approx 8 years now. ™ = Trixie. The only conn so far: little sparrows can go through. Do little...

    Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

    Just wait and see? Or think ahead. What will you do with your flock in a hurricane, flooding or a fire? Sorry if I offended you talking about climate change. But if people try to ignore it, I try / hope they at least think about the consequences every know and then. More tax. Cockerel...

    Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

    if we ignore that the cost we are not making now for innovations (like effectively using solar and wind energy with a better network and e-storage ) —>> will lead to much more costs in the future. All the cost from weather extremes, hurricanes, flooding and wide spreading fires will increase...

    Windy hill chickens - first flock(s) of my own

    My Black was injured badly last year. I picked her up from a neighbour, sitting and not moving on top of a bin, 4 or 5 houses down the street. Probably happened escaping from a predator. I felt so sorry for her and I didn’t know what to do. But she did. She went into a nestbox by herself...

    Housing for bird flu

    Yes. Right. I wonder what would happen or is happening with AI in wild birds living in communities. When this contagious AI was new it was on the news, that many cranes, terns, gulls and gannets died. This year I didn’t hear a lot about dead wild birds. I hear much more about contaminated...
