Hey all. With winter coming, I am working on ideas in my head on how to heat the chicken's water this winter. I have a flock of roughly 80-100, plus turkeys. I also have a LGD in with my flock. Aquarium heaters are out. I have large tanks in my house, and they are not designed to maintain a...

Hey guys. I have a Narragansett turkey poult. He is about 3 months old. I have had him for 2 months now, with no problems. He is in a separate pen next to my chicken coop. He is penned with 3 guineas, that are around 4 months old. They do occasionally all run around together (chickens, turkeys...

Hey guys. I'm looking for someone who can help me create an app. I have a great idea (but everyone thinks that, right?) but I don't have the skills to create it. I've been looking around online for someone I hire, but I thought I'd ask here. I'd rather work with a fellow chicken lover! Thanks!!

im sorry, I know everyone hates this game. I'm not bad at identifying other breeds, but silkies, I'm lost. The lady I got these from said they are from TSC. The little brown one is a roo, but how about the white and grey one? Thanks for any help.

Do you think I could use BJ on this to seal it? Thinking of turning it into a double quail coop in my barn, if I can find a way to seal it. He's giving it away.

My Pharaoh quail started laying yesterday. So far I got 3 eggs yesterday and 3 today. One is cracked. They seem to have no interest in being broody. I have an incubator. So my question is, how many days can I collect before they need to be incubated?

I'm FINALLY getting my RV in the next week, I'm so excited. Once it's gutted, I'm coating the inside with Blackjack #57. Best part is, I got it for free. It was sitting on the deer lease next to ours, and I finally caught the guy that owns it. Asked him where he got it, and if he still uses it...

I got 23 pharaoh today. 1 has his leg messed up. Do you think it's broken or splayed? When I put the little cuffs on, the top of his leg joint sticks out at a bad angle. Should I cull, and if so, what's the best way? Pull its head off? Dying over here, any advice is appreciated. I don't want...

Hey guys. I am wanting to raise a turkey for Thanksgiving. I realize I'm too late for this year, but when would be a good month to start for next year? What breed is best? I'm thinking about just getting a Tom and hen and raising a few babies. Any thoughts to help point me in the right...

Hey guys. I got an order of 21 chicks in, all were 1 week old when I got them. They are now 4 weeks old. There were 2 silkies in my order. The Silkie I'm concerned about had pasty butt for almost a week, if not a little longer. The other 20 chicks are growing fine, learning how to be...

I have 30 chicks right now. Of all of them, only my 2 silkie babies keep getting PB. Mainly one of them, the other has only had to be cleaned twice. I'm having to clean the white one every day, for the last week or so. Is this normal, since they're fuzzier, or is there something going on with...

Okay, my older chicks are about 5 weeks old. I take them outside to peck around, but keep them in a cage when out there. When can I let them roam in my front yard, out of the cage, and how do I get them to come back when it's time to go back inside? I've been working on training them to come for...

So I work for an oil company. Many of our vendors try to keep us happy by sending food, and lots of it (it's also a tax write off for them). One guy sends roughly 75 burritos twice a week. There's only maybe 100 people in this location, and most of them go to waste. We have freezers stuffed with...

I have a problem that's been bugging me. I have a guy coming out tomorrow to start building my coop/run. We have a ton of field mice, rats and gophers on our property. Surrounded by farm land, it's never going to change. I also worry if they tunnel in, snakes can follow right behind them. I...

I got 9 chicks this past Sunday. 7 RIR, and 2 buff Orpingtons. They are in a rubbermaid tub in my kids bathroom. I have been feeding them a mix of regular and medicated chick feed. I wasn't going to get the medicated, until the lady I bought them from said I should start them on it. Another...

My run is going to be built with a big tree in the middle of it. It HAS to be covered due to Hawks and owls, not to mention the 4 legged predators. Has anyone done something like this, and if so, would you be willing to share pics? Trying to figure out how to encircle the trunk with HW cloth...

my dad is coming down from a state away to build me a coop. It's high time I got my butt in gear with planning. How many chickens can an 8x10 coop hold? I'm in hot west Texas, so I'm making a 3 sided coop, with a wall on hinges that I can swing down for my 2 or 3 cold months. I'm...

Hey all. I live out in the country, we’ve been at this house about 2 years, and I’m finally getting around to chickens. I have this old shed sitting on our property. It’s made of metal, and needs some work done, but it’s sitting on a 4-6” concrete slab, and that is a huge bonus for me. We have...
