    So far, pretty good!

    I'm sure the new mobile version is a little buggy but I think the few SNAFU's I've encountered have been my user errors. Just figuring things out. Thanks for the mobile version! I've been waiting a long time for it!

    Performance breeds of pigeons

    There must be others here with performance breeds of pigeons. Anyone with performing rollers, tumblers, divers, highflyers etc.? I have doneks (a diving breed) and Ukrainian skycutters (they hover in one spot). I'd love to hear about your breeds and training.

    Turn this old coop into a pigeon loft

    I just bought the adjoining property and this old coop is on it. I'm in the process of dismantling it and moving it to our back yard. The plan is to fill it with pigeons. I have duneks and Ukrainian skycutters in a smaller loft. The question is: how would you remodel? I'm trying to get by...

    Suggestions for a fall garden

    My garden was a flop this year. Just too dry here, in Iowa. Very few tomatoes, few beans, small onions, small garlic, the lettuce bolted, etc. The only thing that looks ok is the melon patch (which I watered). So, I'm thinking about a fall garden. I'm zone 5b. Since this would be my first...

    Anyone with doneks?

    This will be my first time with doneks. I'll be getting 3 pair shipped this coming week (if the weather isn't too terribly hot). I've been doing some reading and talking to a few breeders but info on training, lofts and feeding is hard to come by. Does anyone here have firsthand experience and...

    Home made treat cakes

    This has probably been discussed before but I couldn't find it so I figured I would post anyway. Treat cakes are cheap and easy to make at home. We hang the cakes in the run above some tree branches that we placed in there. The chickens get exercise and entertainment as they climb around to...

    Poached egg

    How do YOU make your perfect poached egg? I've tried a million devices and utensils but haven't found anything that is fool-proof. Suggestions?

    BYC mobile site?

    I'd love to see a BYC mobile version and I think a lot of other people would too. Being self employed, father of four leaves me with very little time to be inside with the computer and a mobile version would make photo uploads and posting so much faster and simpler. Are there any plans in that...

    Earthworms as treats

    My four kids and I spent the better part of the afternoon flipping over rocks and boards in search of earthworms to give to our four pullets as treats. When we had a handful we opened the girls' coop. Come to find out, our 2 month old girls don't really care for them and actually shied away...

    Freeze-proofing waterers. Looking for suggestions...

    I'm new to cold climates. Just moved to Iowa from California. My loft (when I build it) will have at least 3 breeder cages and two larger cages for young birds etc. Each cage will have it's own waterer. The loft itself will be small, maybe 4x8, seven feet tall, plus wire aviaries off the side...
