    Raccoons and raccoon disposal?

    Hey! I've seen raccoons hanging about recently, which my mom would not let me deal with. One raccoon had 5 babies and kept bringing them here... About two weeks ago, a baby coon was left behind in my feed. That made me angry, but my mom wouldn't let me deal with it. Same situation 3 days ago...

    Topsy turvey tomato planters for cover?

    heres something I just thought of... for a covered run, hang some topsy turvery tomato planters on top. Preferably with plants Already growing out of them. Once the plants get so large, you can weave the branches/vines together to create a roof of leafy cover. Tomatoes stay out of the chickens...

    When should chicks be moved outside? When are they feathered out?

    I know they should be moved out when they’ve feathered out. But how do you define “feathered out”? Two of my chicks are about ready (from my previous experiences) and three are less feathery, but no longer downy. Could you explain (pictures help, I’d Like to see and hear when they’re ready) when...

Let them sit for a few Days...

    What kind of chicken is this? Is it even a chicken?

    This little grey chick has a small bump on its head. It’s half the size of our others (cinnamon queens and assorted breeds) I had to separate it with another chick because it was being trampled, so I can grab better pictures later. For a minute I thought it wasn’t even a chicken, but since it...

    Mud, a rug, and a flood

    the chicken run is pure mud sludge, so we moved the fence further out to give them some nice grass (and so I could let them out without falling when I stepped over the fence into the mud.) I have to walk through a few feet of mud to open the door in the morning and close the door at night. I...

    Roaming dogs & electric fencing

    Neighborhood dogs continuously come back to pick off my flock. So we put up a PE2 polywire fence over half the yard, with chicken wire behind it. Its not closed, it’s a wall dividing the yard in half, from tree line to tree line (I would enclose them, but I don’t have the fencing or money to do...

    The Mud...

    It rained for a couple of days this week. My chickens run, which consists of 80% dirt with light foliage in the very far corner. With the rain came the mud. My yard is sloped, and the run has turned to mud. If I step in the middle, I sink about a centimeter. But for like 2-3 feet around the door...

    Pecking order questions

    Integrating birds into an established flock causes mayhem in the pecking order. Whether you’re adding one lonely hen, or combining whole flocks, an addition to your flock brings changes to your chickens lives. I’ve added hens and have had hens leave. Hens who are added seem to start from the...
