    Help - Game Hen lethargic, ataxic, ADR

    Electric Fence that won't kill a small dog?

    Our coop is almost done and I'm thinking about putting up solar electric fencing around it to keep my 110lb lab (chicken killer) from trying to attack the coop/run when I'm away. Question is - how do I know if an electric fence is strong enough to deter the 110lb lab and not kill my other two...

    Easy - Homemade Candler

    Here is my super easy, "homemade" candler. I purchased the desk lamp from Walmart for $9.44. I used the box the lamp came in and cut out the bottom. Then I cut out a little opening for the neck of the lamp to fit through so that the box would lay flat, then I cut out a little hole for the...

    Can you keep other birds (songbird/doves/etc) in your chicken run?

    The run we are building will be 8 feet tall and 14 feet long - it's going to look very much like a large aviary with a chicken coop in it and I got to wondering if anyone with this style coop keep other birds in their chicken run other than chicken? It seems to make sense that the chicken will...
