    We built a fountain for fresh water.

    I love this and so glad we did it. We install irrigation systems so it was very easy, just run pvc put a valve to slow down the flow and something to catch the water. Anything to make life easier.:lol:

    Baby goats and the runs.....I read.....

    Hey, I thought id share, I read from an old rancher that goats get the runs if they don't move around after eating. Interestingly one of my little ones was a bit loose so I put the dogs in with both of them who exsersised them really well and she was back to normal. I thought this was good to...

    new mom to two nubian/kiko cross goats and I don't think I know what I'm doing.

    I'm concerned because at 5 weeks they don't eat any feed, hay, grass....may nibble on some leaves. If I'm supposed to wean in 3 weeks shouldn't they already be eating something yet? I read they wean them at 8 weeks. Any advise is helpful. Also does anyone add buttermilk, condenced milk and an...

    How do you feed your rooster?

    My husband is very concerned that our rooster is eating layer feed. Granted they're outside quite a bit and get a lot of worms and greens. I'm not so worried as I don't see how to seperate them when they live together. But I promised I would ask you guys/gals here so I am. Many times he's...

    My two Easter Eggers

    I'm wondering, the Americana (spelling I know) is laying really light cream eggs, and the easter egger is laying really dark eggs but theyre brown. (If I have the right egg from the right chicken) I think hers should be olive. The easter egger (may have) just started laying unless it's my RIR...

    What is my rooster doing?

    Hi, For the past few days my Rooster is having fights with the chickens that are not RIR's. He is a RIR and he has 2 chicks like him, but my Easter Egger and Buff ..... I look like I'm having cock fights in my yard! He doesn't have much of a spur yet but I can imagine what would happen if he...

    A nice story.......kind of nice. 2 of our chickens were grabbed, 1 my dh grabbed the chicken out of it's claws.......he was sitting right there, the second he followed the hawk until it landed (not far he must be weak from hunger or the chicken is heavy or both) and when he put it down he...

    Great for egg eaters.......I think

    I was browsing around in case I ever have this problem and the hen is too young to cull. I notice it's a big problem. http://www.meyerhatchery.com/productinfo.a5w?cat=1027&subcat=5080&prodID=ROTCB&grd_prodone_filter=PRODUCT%5fID%20%3d%20%27ROTCB%27

    help one chicken is bieng pecked so much she hides.

    Hi ya'll, I have a beautiful chicken who's bieng pecked to the point they don't let her eat, she hides under the coup or isolates herself when they're enclosed. The coop is big enough but they part free range all day and have more room than they really need. They sing and don't look bored. They...
