Hi and welcome from the Poconos.
What the others have said about picking out birds is good advice. You need to figure out why you want chickens. Also what color eggs do you want? Blue, green, white, brown, cream, pinkish, olive? So many decisions to make. There are small and big chickens. Some...

Did you see this article? The fishercats are making a return to the Poconos and throughout the state. I haven't seen any by me yet. I know that there are a lot of critters that are out there that I haven't seen.
She was in her pen. Something must have grabbed her through the fencing and took a bite. Something got a duckling Friday into Saturday in a different pen. I set up the trap last night and got a raccoon. Will reset the trap tonight. I am so ******.
I have a crazy question. Something attacked my duck. She has puncture wounds to her head. She is doing ok. I found her yesterday morning. Well here is the crazy question, Can ducks get rabies from an animal attack?
My turn to photo bomb. Took some pictures of my partridge silkies.

Ok, which one of you sent in a picture of your son with a chicken on his head for the weather pointer picture on the news? That made me giggle this morning.

I checked all the rentals around by me. I don't know what pennswoods is. Craigslist doesn't have anything. We are so upset because we replaced it 5 years ago and know the 3 wheeler doesn't work, only the tracks works. We can't find anyone that rents them any more. Equipment renting places have...
I am looking to rent a well pump pulling rig. The 3 wheel one isn't strong enough for my well. I need the one with the tracks that hold the pipe. If you know where I can rent one, please let me know. Thanks.
Over the winter, my chickens weren't laying. My Muscovy ducks kept laying all winter. I was able to make omelets for my son for breakfast. He is a picky eater and he never complained about the duck egg omelets. I heard that duck eggs aren't great for scrambled because of the higher protein or...
2 of my hens escaped the run today. One was trying her hardest to get back in, pacing back and forth in front of the run's door. I picked her up and put her away and locked up the coop. I turn around and see my cat trying to pounce on something. I come out of the run and there is another hen! My...
