    Something eats chicken feed and leaves wet lumps of it behind...

    We don't have armadillo here, and here, an oppossum is just a little ferret-type animal, nothing I'd ever call "big." If I'd seen that and how you describe it, it'd be a raccoon.

    Not quite new!

    Hiya, Susan, and welcome to BYC! :frow You could check in our Buy/Sell/Rehome forum and see if there's anything near you. I'd also check your local/state poultry groups on Facebook. Even Craigslist may have something. Be careful though and don't pay a dime for anything until you have it as...

    Hello from Arkansas

    Hiya, and welcome to BYC! :frow Many of us were "lurkers" before we joined too. You're here now, that's what counts, and we're glad you are!

    Ammonia issue in the coop

    Here's the nipples for like a 5-gallon bucket. We also put them in a Tupperwear cereal container too for younger ones. It just has to be rigid. This is just in there. They can't use horizontal ones until they're about 3 weeks old.

    Ammonia issue in the coop

    Your Nutri-Drench is fine. Poultry Cell has iron in it, and Nutri-Drench doesn't, but it's still fine.

    Fall chicks in Montana

    What we do is just grow them out. Hubby made us pens we found on Wayfair, reinforced them with 1/2" hardware cloth, and a doghouse, shed, dogbox at one end for their "coop." (There are three of them.) In there, we put a Cozy Coop radiant heater on a thermal cube, so it shuts off when it...

    Ammonia issue in the coop

    I would just clean everything out, put down the horse bedding pellets, and be done with it. With the limited ventilation and high humidity we have here, they handle both. Sand, like you said, gets wet, and it sits there until it dries. We put down about 2-3" of pellets and change them out...

    First hawk attack!

    Gosh, so lucky you heard the ruckus! We've got guy wires for a wireless internet tower here, so that keeps them away, but a bald eagle has been testing them and flying in between them. No other hawk or eagle has ever done that. That's pretty daring, as we find a couple of dead birds in our...

    Are you sure both are roosters? I'm a horrible judge for other breeds as I only raise/breed silkies here, but that one on the left is questionable to me. The one on the right has visible hackles so definitely a cockerel. They actually look almost identical otherwise, comparing tails, combs...

    Hi, I'm Amy from Colorado.

    Hiya Amy, and welcome to BYC! :frow That would be fun, but alas, I only raise/breed silkies, so the only variation I get ranges from cream colored to tan. Do you have all the chickens for every color yet? If not, here's what a member posted for us in the Learning Center -- Egg Color Chart...
