    Rabbit had her babies, HELP!

    I bred my Champagne D'argent doe to her buck a month ago, and she had her babies tonight! But two were dead by the time we found out she'd had them. I think she stomped on them in her nest. There are at least three alive right now. Do we need to do anything to make sure no more die? We pulled...

    My goat ate chicken feed, hard to wake up, help!

    I checked on my goat and the wether was baa'ing, but the doe wasn't moving. They are Nigerian Dwarf goats, we've only had them a couple of days. Anyway, normally the doe will baa and come when we are out too. Her head was laying in some chicken feed, I couldn't wake her up at first. I had a...

    UPDATE: We lost her!! Animal attack on my hen, what do I do?

    UPDATE: We lost her before I could put the swat on her and flush her with betadine. Since I couldn't get to the store the first day, I improvised, and used a mix of hydrogen peroxide and a syringe without a needle, and put antibiotic ointment on. But she stopped eating the second day. Just...

    Blood streaked on outside of eggshell

    This has never happened before. I have 5 hens, they are less than a year old. This morning, one of them laid an egg that had blood streaked on the outside of it. Is this a sign of a serious problem? Thanks!

    Why is my RIR hen smaller than her sister?

    I got 2 RIRs from feed store right before Easter. One is large and laying normal sized eggs. The other is smaller, and isn't laying eggs every day yet. When she does, they are way smaller than her sister's. The smaller RIR is the same size as our 3 Barred Rock pullets that are one full month...

    Anyone want to buy or trade for a RIR cockerel in Idaho?

    Hi, I bought three RIR "pullets" from the store and one turned out to be a roo. He's about 7 weeks old, very healthy, and very good at taking care of his pullet sisters. I can't keep him due to zoning laws, though I would otherwise. I don't want him used for meat, I'd like him to go to a good...

    Windows, roosts, venting, & insulation for coop?

    Hi, newbie here. I know we need window(s) in our coop. Does it need to be a real window? Or can DH cut a square, and cover it with heavy duty plastic? (His idea). How would he let air in? Do you put a screen on it? Also, can I see some roost pics? Does a roost need to be round? How...

    Can I use a large dog house for a coop for 5?

    Hi, we just got 3 baby chicks before Easter and will be getting two laying hens as soon as we can get/build a coop for them. So we'll have 5 total pullets soon. My question is, can I get a used large dog house, and use it for a coop? I found one that was for a Rottweiler, very cheap. Or do...
