    Tractor or Permanent Coop?

    I like that! How often do you move it to not kill the grass?

    Tractor or Permanent Coop?

    I am having trouble deciding on which to build. I like the idea of a tractor a lot so the grass will grow back. I will only have 3 hens. My property is about a little more than an acre cleared. Will they destroy the grass with a tractor? I want them to help the yard not make it bare! :) Advice...

    Safe to eat?

    Is it safe to eat a rooster who has a small case of bumblefoot? I'm tired of his attitude and don't want to deal with fixing him.

    Tiny red bugs?

    Today I processed 2 birds. The first one I didn't see any bugs on him, but the second one had lots of these tiny red bugs on his legs. I checked a couple of my other chickens and a few have the same thing on their legs and butts. No one is acting sickly and everyone looks healthy otherwise. What...

    How long until able to process free range cornish x?

    Here is a picture of them. They are 5 weeks old. I don't know how much they weigh because I have nothing to weigh them with. I don't think it has been overly cold at all. It has been very rainy the past couple of weeks.

    How long until able to process free range cornish x?

    This is my first time raising CX and I admit I was expecting lazy, Godzilla size chickens. They aren't! The hatchery the feed store ordered them from is Ideal. Before bringing them home, I thought they would be ready to process the second week of July. They are not very big right now, so I am...

    DUCKS??! when is a good age to butcher.....? and chick question.....

    I think you could go ahead and butcher the ducks. I would wait for someone with more experience to comment on that first though. As for the chickens, it is really up to you. Personally, I am not a fan of americanas, so I would butcher the crosses and keep the RIR.

    Question on 4.5 week old Cornish X's

    This is great! If I can process mine as early as you have I will be happy. The size your's are would be perfect for my small household.

    1st & last time raising Cornish X

    I just got my first dozen this past Friday. I haven't noticed any smell...yet. I have been feeding them FF twice a day and letting them roam when I'm home. When they get big enough to stop squeezing through the poultry netting, they will be able to stay outside all the time. I raised Delawares...

    Fermenting Feed for Meat Birds

    Got my Cornish x on Friday and started the fermented feed yesterday. They loved it! Mine are being raised by my silkie so they are with my laying hens, and they all loved it too. I think I will continue feeding this to my layers.

    Brown Female Muscovy - New Hampshire

    My male Muscovy was taken by a fox today and I need to rehome my female now. She is very sweet, but a bit wild as she does enjoy flying around a little everyday. I would like her to go to a home with other ducks and not be eaten please.

    Fox took whole flock in under a week

    I feel your pain. A fox has been stalking my house and took my male Muscovy today. I'm sure he was defending his lady friend. He has survived an attack before when I left him outside one night (he wouldn't let me round him up), but I doubt he would survive the attack today when I was at work. I...

    Suggestions on where to get less than 25 birds?

    I ordered mine from my local feed store. Their minimum order was 6 meaties. I would ask your local store.

    Caught another fox!

    Omg!! Tell me how you did this! I'm at war with a fox right now and would live to catch it instead of shooting at it (I seriously need to practice).
