    Best City Backyard Turkey Breed?

    I currently have 7 egg laying hens and am planning on getting 3 or 4 poults in the spring. What breed in you opinion would be the best? I have a 6' fenced large backyard. I would be planning to give the Turkeys the run of the backyard and allow the chickens out of the run with them in the...

    So I think I might be going about this all wrong????

    I am planning to put together an area run/coop for some meat birds. From what I am seeing and reading you do not need to build a coop or roosts for them at all. Just an enclosure that will provide safety and prtection from rain and excessive sun. Is this correct? Really just bare bones...

    Uh oh This might be a Roo(Pics). What do you think?

    We bought these Pullets and we have had them for 6 wks. I am a brand new chicken owner and am really enjoying it but I think this one might be a Roo. What do you think? They are about 8wks. Notice the larger comb and waddles. I also noticed little whispy tail feathers emerging. It is also...

    Pullet Behavioral/Free Range Question w/ pics

    I have 6 pullets(4RIR6wks, 2BR8wks) and I am a first time chicken wrangler. I built a good coop(I think) a couple nice perches surounded by a 12'x12' run. Only one BR will go in on her own 50% of the time. We have to grab the others and place them in. We have a dim light(solar landscape...

    Coop Windows with pics! New use for cheap cookware lids

    So I am just starting on this Chicken expedition and have built a coop from ideas and info from this site. I had no natural light in the coop so my wife and I came up with this idea. We bought tempered glass lids from skillets and a crock pot from a thrift store and attached them to the coop...

    What breed should I add in w/ 4 RIR?

    I have 4 RIR pullets almost 4 weeks. We often let them frolic in the run during the warm part of the day and back in the brooder they go at night. We would like to ad one or two more. I recently heard that RIRs are more agressive and often don't play well with others. Is this what you have...

    I have a small 12' square run with a 3.5'x4' coop. I currently have two EE pullet 9wks(in the run) and 4 Rhode Island Reds 3wks(in a tub under a light). I have added a ramp into the coop and additional wire on the lower two feet of the run and around the wooden fence too. Chicks are getting...

    New Coop and Run Any Suggestions (New to Chickens too!)

    My wife, 4 kids, and I are excited to begin this adventure. I built this 12'x12' run with an elevated 5'x3.5' coop. I have realized my mistake and added chicken wire to the bottom two feet to prevent the little ones from escaping. I am thinking that I am going to keep about 6 hens and...
