I've tried to search the site, but was wondering if anyone can point me to an article where it discusses veggies/scraps to feed to chickens? I guess for the past year we've done commercial feed, grit, and oyster shell and was wondering if you all see improvements by supplementing scraps...
I've spent about twenty minute searching man made ponds, but to no avail. Many of the articles show what didn't work, does anyone know of someone that has a pond in their backyard that was successful and has a "how to" article/video so to speak? We have three ponds but do not want out birds in...
Are these good enough pictures to tell what their gender is?
There are five in all.
They are about 5 months old.
If these are not good pictures what do I look for when determining their gender. Thanks for your help.
Just wanted to see if I could get some advice on what possibly this could be? How to treat it? I understand about fly strike and all. We sprayed it with an cleanser for poultry, just not sure what to do next. Any tips?
Does anyone train LGD’s or have LGD’s? That I could ask some questions to? We are growing our homestead and farm and just have run into issues with training or the do’s/don’ts. Thank you in advance.
Hello,
just seeing if this is fixable or thoughts on what I should do? Their legs are turning in, it doesn’t appear as splay legs....Thanks for your help.
Just unsure of this, I’ve seen different posts about what to do, etc. I’ve started all of them on niacin water since as soon as they arrive.
This gosling is almost two weeks old, and I’ve given him the Durvet B complex solution, what does it look like to you?
The brooder is a crib with hard...
Is this normal?
I have Six goslings and they are constantly pecking each other. I’m not sure if this is normal. I read where you put a patch of grass it calms this down for a bit then starts again.
The scene:
They were in a kiddie pool. As of tonight they are in a baby crib with hardwire...
So we were supposed to get three geese and three ducks today, one of the shipments are tomorrow. Is it okay to put three geese in tomorrow with the ducks that came in today? Thanks for your help.
Hello,
Just noticed today that ranger is struggling to raise his head and won’t move his neck around. He won’t eat from my hand either? They are on niacin, Feed, and treats. Thoughts? Tips?
I’ve decided in this “Safe at Home” time to start a YouTube page to show the progress on our farm. Just posted my intro video.
Since that video, we’ve built a fence, duck pen, and much more.
I’d love for you to follow my/our journey.

Hello,
I am having a few issues. We've had seven chickens in the past, left the coop open and lost four. I understand it was a rookie mistake. I have only been doing this farm life for six months and love it. However, the coop I built is huge and wanted more chickens. We googled and bought...
Hello,
Super excited to find this page. I just bought two emus and brought them home and have a little make shift area for them at night in our back porch (screened in), an area for them to run in during the day.
I named the girl, jelly bean and fella, gum ball.
Absolutely in love. We sit with...
So we started with one pig six months ago. Now we have 26 chickens, six ducks, three pigs, and 2 emus. I decided to connect and get some opinions, advice, and make connections.
