    Impacted crop

    I had a cermani go missing about a month ago and figured raccoons had got her. Was a bit upset, but that’s what happens sometimes. I had come home from work to the gate of the coop opened. I know it was the kid down the hill from me, he’s been known to take my eggs occasionally. Don’t really...

    Pelleted pine bedding?

    has anyone used this? I’ve been using the deep layer method, but it’s getting to a point where disposal and such is a hassle. I saw this and noticed reviewers talking about using it for pens, ferrets, etc.

    Ummm... uh oh. Or accidental duck owner

    i had ordered what I thought were Rhode Island Reds, for larger eggs. Did my normal chick incubation, lockdown, etc. they didn’t hatch and I then got busy with work (on-call, mandatory OT) and my wife’s IVH (trying to hatch our own eggs). This morning I hear peeps from the basement, and imagine...

    Lost birds, found birds, sick birds....

    Xmas eve, six of my adult chickens, vanished in our first snow storm of the season. I figured they were out ranging in the black berry behind the properties and lost their way. One returned by itself a week ago and I found the rest mixed in with a flock of birds about a 1/4 mile away. Mine are...

    Incubator suggestions?

    A few years ago I had bought a EXO Terra all glass enclosure for a gecko I was going to get. Never did. So I was just toying with the idea of turning it into an incubator and wanted to see what I would need to do (besides heat, water, etc) to make it a successful nest. Reason being I've lost...

    New to it all - Need advice on construction

    Greetings all. I've been procrastinating for the past few years on building a coop and getting some chickens. Now I'm going to do it. I have a little shed attached to our garage. Currently I use it as my yard tool shed, but I think it would make an excellent coop. It already has a hatch...
