    Freedom Ranger breeding...?

    With all the resources and knowledge here on this site, I'm hoping someone can tell me what breeds are used to get a Freedom Ranger? I can't get FR chicks at a reasonable cost at my location in Canada and it seems that someone must know...? Thanks.

    Blood clotted egg.

    Our 1 year old Leghorn had an egg that was a bloody blob 2 days ago (we collect twice daily). She hasn't laid since and although she's still eating and hanging with the flock, she seems slow, stiff and in some low degree of pain. They free forage with water access and live an idyllic life. I am...

    3 day old sick chick video please advise.

    Hi, and thanks for taking the time. I have just posted a video in the gallery of our new chick who has been opening and closing its mouth continuously. It seems tired but mostly alert, eating/drinking very little. We've isolated it and have began feeding Poul Vite (vitamin powder) enhanced water...

    Removable sides /open coop?

    Hello, me again... I live in the Pacific NW and the weather is variable. This year has been cold and quite snowy. The summers can get really hot too(heat dome!). As I continue to design my coop, I'm wondering if having removable or hinged panels would keep the girls more comfortable under all...

    Hi, and thanks for having me. I'm designing and building my first coop. I want use the deep bedding method. I'm in the Pacific North West. All the coop designs I've seen say that ventilation should be high up in winter with no drafts - makes sense. But what I can't find is design info how much...
