    Another SF Question!

    We're moving our chickens into a barn, which will be our new coop. I've forgotten the exact measurements, but it is probably about 10' x 20'. We don't plan on having more than around 30 chickens (5-10 would be bantams or half bantams), but I can see us having a few over . They will free...

    Roost Ideas

    We're moving our chickens into a barn from their current coop. I'm looking for roost ideas. Anyone have pics of roost structures they have built? We'll want ours to hold about 30+ chickens. I've seen the ones with 3 or 4 rungs in a ladder-like design that I really like, but how do you keep...

    All kinds of Turkey questions

    We have a good amount of experience in chickens, but none in turkeys! We have a ton of wild turkeys here in VA and I've always loved them! I'd love to have some tame ones! 1. Can I keep them with my chickens? (Mostly what I want to know is if there would be any fighting... we have zero...

    Mutt Possibilities and Chicken Math!?

    This really isn't super important, but I'm infinitely curious about it! (and obviously, it is all guesswork at this point) I only have 2 roosters, a BBR OEGB (but very hatchery quality or even less/yellow legs, coloring a bit off) and an Exchequer Leghorn. (We live pretty far in the backwoods...

    Feed Storage?

    Where or how do you all store your feed? We keep ours in a barn next to the coop in a big metal drum container, but I would like some new ideas... I was considering those Bergan Stack N Stor container systems, so that I could stack them and have several different ones for chicken feed, chick...

    Coyote Problem *Update* w/ graphic pic

    Well, we finally have a real predator problem here. Over the years we have had minor egg eating snake problems, a possum, and a fox. Each incident was isolated and we learned from it. Our coop is 100% predator proof; covered from head to toe in 1/4" thick hardware cloth, the doors lock with...

    Bantam Rooster and LF hens?

    2 Questions! 1. What is this rooster? (I've always assumed he is a poor quality BBR OEGB, but maybe not?) He may not appear small in some of the pics, but he is definitely bantam sized... 2. Does anyone have any pics of what his offspring might possibly look like when crossed with BO, EE, BA...

    Is this a porcelain silkie?

    I've had this silkie for 2 years now, and I always just assumed she was a non-standard mixed color. She has been an excellent broody and mother! Just the other day on this section, I saw someone with a "porcelain" silkie. I had no idea that silkies came in porcelain, and thought that mine...

They get to free range many, many acres at least 4 times a week and we've never had any aggression problems, feather picking, or anything else. I am planning on building a coop/run for JUST roosters. Do you think it...

    Are Geese a threat to chickens?

    I read on here once awhile back, about someone's geese drowning their chickens. When hawks/vultures/etc. fly over, my chickens don't bat an eye (my rooster gets a little protective, but the hens don't notice at all). When a flock of Canadian Geese fly overhead, my chickens ALL run for cover...

    hen vs brooder

    I had never put chicks under a broody until this past time... I have always had some sort of brooder setup, whether it was a rubbermaid tub, a kitchen table turned upside down and hardware clothed, a cardboard box, a rabbit cage, or other! This time, a hen was broody at the same time as when my...
