Here in Central Florida a few freezing nights is not the problem, the 98 degree weather with humidity plus is our problem for sure. My coop is a simple design but definitely built for heat, shade with lots of ventilation. When the wind is blowing cold we simply add a tarp to the roosting areas...

our old coop and run was completely covered it was good that it kept the sun out but it did that 2 much. the chickens got more mites and lice. and it was alot more smelly and more flies. the open air coop and run with a section roofed over is much much better. Cleaner and less bugs and they...

this is not Dogs and Cats are more important than any other animal, kind of place...........

my dog killed 26 of my flock. she tore the wire from the post and before we could stop her killed 26. anyone want a dog who kills chickens, cat and has bad hips.........guess the answer is obvious. I think we have created these chicken killing dogs. years back when most people had farms they...

we have decided to raise roos to 20 wks then butcher. It seemed crazy to feed them just to sell them for peanuts. We eat a lot of chicken and what better chicken than what we raise ourselves. Im fortunate my DH is a farm boy and slaughtering livestock was a way of life for him growing up.

Im in Deltona, i have about 40 chickens. We raise them for eggs, meat and show. We have French Black Copper Marans, Salmon Faverolles, Olive Eggers, and many others.

I have 2 EE hens that i have crossed with a Feathered Black Copper Maran Roo. Will all the female chicks be olive egg laying or just the pea comb? Also how about the roos from this cross will they all throw the blue egg gene? Im new to this and appreciate any help

Well after a year of training to no avail we made the decision to put the old fellow down. It was not an easy decision but you do what you must do. So far the other 3 show no interest in getting in the chicken coop. I hope it stays that way.

i have an older german shepherd who must go because no matter what i do he will break into the chicken coop and kill the chickens. I have invisible fencing around the coop and he wears 2 shock collars, he does not care, he just ignores the shock and will dig to china, he bites the chicken wire...

i cleaned their coop very well this week, and put down barn lime. I wormed them with the safeguard equine paste which was very easy, i just put a pea size drop in their beak and they ate it right up. It smells fruity so they seemed to like it. they have not had any problems so far with this...

I have Black Copper Marans, RIR Commercial, RIR Heritage, Americanas and Salmon Faverolles. The Salmon Faverolles are very sweet but their docile personality puts them at the bottom of the pecking order, even the rooster is a push over, they are good layers but the eggs are medium size. the...

round worms and whip worms look almost the same to me but i bought fenbendazole which will treat both. My question is do i need to treat the soil and what would i use to kill the worms in their coop?

Thank you all very helpful!! These chickens are for eggs and meat so i will keep them. 2 more of my Faverelle hens have started sneezing and one of the young RIR so i guess they will all come down with this sooner or later, i have returned the original 3 to the coop seems pointless to keep them...

thanks for the replys. I was wondering Is it not better to have a chicken that has natural antibodies against these viruses? I mean if you take them to shows and have anyone visit you that has chickens you are risking that your flock will become ill sometime in the future? Im a novice at this...

I have 2 pullets and 1 cockrel who have been sneezing and wheezing for 2 weeks, but they seem fine in every other way. They are eating fine, drinking and have no other symptoms. None of the others have these symptoms,ive had them isolated for 2 weeks and have been giving them Colidal Silver...
