    Finally built a Turkey house they like.

    I have finally (after many, many tries) built a Turkey house that they will stay in at night. Every night I lock my Turkeys up with the chickens. They are in a lot that is covered and buried in the ground. We have quite a few predators in the woods. My chickens go into their chicken house to...

    Heated metal base outside?

    I don't have enough room in my chicken house for a waterer. I have it outside. I have read abou the heated base and it says to keep inside. Has anyone tried it outside? Or what can I use outside to heat a metal chicken waterer.

    Hen attacked by dog, may have broken wing. Can it be fixed?

    Yesterday, one of my hens got out of her pen and the dog got her. I thought she was dead, but I think in shock. I seperated her from the flock and checked on her a little later. She was up, but her left wing was dragging. If her wing is broken can it heal?

    Turkey housing

    My turkeys won't stay in the chicken house or in the house I built them. They like to stay outside high on a perch. They are safe and secure, but can I use ust a tarp for protection. They don't seem to like anything I build! this is at night.

    Do silkies roost?

    This may be a silly question, but do Silkies like to roost? My silkies were hatched and raised in a dog house. They seem to prefer sleeping in there. I thought they would follow the other chickens into the chicken house and roost with them. Maybe the other chickens are intimidating them and...

    Broody Hen breaking my heart

    I have another broody banty hen. She wants to lay on eggs so badly. I take her off and she wanders around lost and making humming sounds. So sad. I already let one of my bantys sit on eggs. Don't really want any more. It breaks my heart watching her. I feel like I am taking her children away. LOL

    Do ducks like simple on the ground housing in the winter? I was thinking of converting the bottom part of my rabbit hutch into housing. They don't seem to like to stay in the chicken house.

    Do your chickens snore?

    I have noticed my chickens snoring at night. It is more of a whistling, sighing sound. Very funny to listen to. I am glad they are secure at night because they are not quiet! LOL Do any of your chickens snore or make sounds as they sleep?
