Paige, our new puppy, is a biter. She loves to nibble on people and she has very sharp teeth! She is a dauchshund/boston terrier mix. Paige also loves to attack my chickens. I haven't let the chickens out since we got Paige. Twice I opened the coop door and she darted in and grabbed ahold of my...
I live in the desert so I don't think we have snails. She kind of shook her head to get it out of her beak and then she went back to normal. She did start fghting with my other hens but they are all fighting with each other (whole nother problem). There is plenty of food, she's been broody for a...
I have five Bantam hens. A few months ago I took in a sixth hen, well the past month i've been keeping her in a smaller cage within the coop (trying to get them used to each other) well I also have noticed that my first five hens are missing a few feathers on their necks. I saw them fighting...
All my hens are attacking each other. They were all fine and good. But now they are attacking each other. For the past couple of weeks I have noticed missing feathers on their necks. I have no idea why. One hens combs starting bleeding today.
This is what it looks like. I got a whole roll at the dollar store so it's very affordable I don't know if it is safe but it probably is I guess. And you could just hose it down I would think.

I've always had this dream to one day build an aviary. Well now I have a chance to build one and I want it to be the best I can possibly make it. I love muscovies so that's what will be housed inside. So far the measurments are around 12' long x 7' wide x 6' tall.
I want to build a pond inside...
I really want to hatch some scovies and I want to try to have a good hatch rate. I have never incubated before, but I might try incubating some chicken eggs before so that I can get a feel for it. I'm trying to stay organized about this, so I made a chart in Excel to help me stay on track with...
I would like to find a way to make it as clean as possible. That I would only have to completely drain every couple weeks or so. Does that mean I need a pump? I have no idea about ponds and how to make them work with a filtration system.
