    Rotational Grazing or Alternating Yards?

    I found this thread on the topic- https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=356156&p=1 I was wondering why I don't read more about other people doing this. It sounds brilliant! Maybe you do, but haven't mentioned it. I'm planning on it, as where we want to move to there's just...

    Anyone raising turkeys for eating eggs?

    Good morning! I think turkey eggs are beautiful, although I'm a bit nervous about the turkeys themselves. I've never raised them and I hear it's no picnic, especially in Alaska. I'd love to have, like, maybe three Narragansett hens. Will they lay without a Tom, like chickens do without a...

    Bears!

    Everything about Alaska is big, including our predators. Here's an article about them getting into chickens: http://www.adn.com/2011/07/14/1968554/chicken-coops-proving-a-tasty.html I'd hate to shoot to kill any animal. I'd try everything else first, including the strongest electric fence I...

    Alaska!

    Good morning, Fellow Chickie-Poo Lovers! I'm so excited to be here. We've rented so long in order to build up my husband's career. Now, we're finally going to buy our own home, which means we can have furry and feathery animals at last. I want two dogs, two cats, and about a bazillion...
