My mother and I have been on a long, crazy adventure in building our first coop and we have finally finished! It took us about 3 months to build due to sickness, weather, work, and budget but we finally are done and our girls are very happy with the finished work!

I have 3 little 5-week old chicks in my brooder and they are about to go out in the big-kid grow-out coop this coming weekend. However, last night two of them decided they could not stand each other and started fighting. I let it go for a minute (watching carefully) in case it was play or a...
Hello. I have 3 babies in the brooders. They are 5 weeks old and almost to the age of going outside into their grow out coop. However, last night two of them started fighting so bad I had to seperate them. I thought it was one being aggressive but when I put them each with the third, docile...

Once upon a time there was a little farm called Circle L Stables. In its early years the main focus of the stables was on the horses that came to the farm to recover from some pretty bad lives before moving on to their new forever homes. They had some pretty interesting stories but horses are...
Hello, Kyo here! My family and I run a small private horse rescue barn in Georgia and have managed to find ourselves with a full flock of chickens. We got our first one about 4-5 years ago when we moved to a new house/farm. The previous owners had left their rooster there by himself and we...
