Hey All,
Sorry to be another one to ask the ventilation questions but its so important! I want to make sure my chickens have enough but also not get cold when the stupid wind gets going.
Its a mockup, so a lot isn't right. will be made with 2x4, pallet wood, and leftover metal roofing.
the...
So, I'm playing with the idea of starting a project of laced faverolles... what do others think? Or should I just do and keep track then share when?
Also, suggestions on genetics with birds? i don't know why I have such issues getting it through my head but I keep hoping I get it at some...
So. I'm having a discussion with the family about brooding new chicks inside the home. I'm curious how many have done so? and how long?
I made it a poll so hopefully easier to keep track of, but I cant really specify the amount of time (yet) could y'all type below how long they stay inside...
most of the things i have seen don't look the exact same.
All but the 1 chicken are my faverolles, the one is a orphington.
All came from meyers hatchery and are 5 months old.
no wheezing, discharge, or other noises
when I look in their beak / throat I don't see anything
All the chickens...
So, I don't know what's going on. I tried searching it in here and none of the images show the same thing.
He has no respiratory issues, 5 months old, eating and drinking fine, no one else in the flock has this including the other rooster. it hasn't gotten bigger from us noticing it a few days...
So I am on 11 acres and we are installing a 2nd home as an in-law unit. The manufactured home guy just came out and said that inspectors will randomly show up and walk through the property and ask for building permits. This sounds pretty far fetched to me.
We are on 11 acres, the property is...
these are the first ones i have growing up. is it just me or are they scraggly? Or is it just a ugly molting since they are only 7 weeks old. ones my rooster and other pullet.
So my design is getting there! Yeah!
A few things that are a little possible needed information.
I have a feeling I will be in a wheelchair at some point soon, so I planned the coop around it. the poop board is 24in tall so i can move a chair under it if needed. as well as 36in wide almost...
Hey, so this may be a weird question but do you get poop from the birds in these areas? where the two arrows point.
I kidnapped Dobielovers image because it showed the best where i was looking. TIA
Ok im trying to figure out some stuff, but easy question. (hopefully)
how much pdz do you guys use per square foot when you use it as the only aspect of the poop boards?
OK. I have 2 questions.
1st, in my area there is almost everything predator wise. We are on 11 acres and almost everything has been seen in our area. I mean bobcats, fox, coyotes (Packs. I've heard packs) wild dogs, possoms, and pretty much anything but wolves. we've seen cougars, and bears...
OK I have a weird question and I figured you guys would possibly know...
My old community is full of ponds and one is full of im assuming pet geese that no one wanted. I say no one wanted because the duck pond is Extreamly well known in the area. BUT sidetracked. I was curious what would...
I am so excited! So, I have been stalking this forum (along with a few others) for years planning. I didn't join just watched and read. has to be over 10 years by now, i had 3 for a few years (they were already 2+ when I got them.) and didn't feel up to having more in the home until i was more...
