    Can I see your horse stall coops?

    We recently purchased a farm that comes with a bank barn and 2 horse stalls in the lower portion. I'd like to turn one stall into the chicken coop and would love to see pictures of what some people did. My plan is to use the window for them to access the run. There is a stone foundation on 2...

    Controlling dust- Coop under deck

    As the title says, we have a coop under our deck. I'm wondering if there are any ideas for keeping the dust from traveling up to the covered deck area. I knew there would be dust, but didn't think about it traveling up 10+ft and then settling on the vinyl siding of the house. Their run is...

    Critique new coop plan, please

    Hello, I was an active user a few years ago. Grew up with 30+ chickens and a setup that could have used improvement. Recently bought a house and am in the process of designing a new coop. 4 hens are arriving in May, and that is really all I want, especially since it is just two of us and will be...

    Removable external nest boxes?

    I'm in the process of designing a new coop for 4 hens. The coop will be 5'x3' and I need to have external nest boxes. However, the boxes would have to be attached to the door I need to open to clean the coop (a 2'6" door). So, has anyone ever built external nest boxes that could be removed? The...

    Bullied Cockerel

    I have a young roo who is being bullied. He is at the age that his mother just kicked him out and he is on his own. The established rooster in the group is very mean and will chase him around. I am considering putting the little guy in the big chicken coop, where he roo in that one is 7 or 8...

    Goat Emergency!!!

    I have a goat that is not good. She was fine around 6am, but by 7:30, was down. She is wobbly when trying to move, and her head is drooping. Her breathing is a bit ragged, but seems normal otherwise. I got her up and she burped and pooped, which looked normal. She took a few steps, and then was...

    Ivermectin Pour On for goats?

    So I bought the pour on version today to worm the goats (2 boer does and 1 pygmy doe), and to treat a rooster with scaly leg mites. As I was reading I found that it does not work very well on goats for intestinal worms (but I also heard otherwise). Now, when I was feeding them I was giving the...

    Cicadas are coming, will you let your chickens out?

    I just read and article saying that the cicadas should be emerging in the next few weeks in the East. I'm planning on letting the chickens free range as much as possible, hoping they will catch them as they come out of the ground. We let ours out periodically, but will definitely be doing it...

    Dog with UTI

    I've got a 5yr old spayed lab who appears to have a uti. She has had a couple accidents overnight the past couple days, but we just thought it was a fluke. Today, she is asking to go out ever 15-20 minutes and when she does, she only pees a tiny but but is straining to get more out. Our vet is...

    Guessing a weight for goats for wormer

    I recently just bought 3 ivermectin horse paste syringes at TSC. I need to worm my goats and since they are getting their hooves trimmed next week, it's a good time to do it. I know that you have to triple the dose for goats, but I'm having a hard time guessing weights. I have a Pygmy doe with...

    Cat with split back nail

    My one guy just cannot catch a break. I was trimming his nails today and noticed one of his back claws is pretty much missing. The nail broke down to the quick, and then the rest of the nail split alongside the quick, down to the skin flap on his toe. He's does not seem too concerned about it...
