    Fowl pox questions...

    Thank you so very much for your input, it really DOES help me a lot. It's good to know they will not get this thing again. I've read about the vaccine but I'm not sure which ones are developing this illness and which ones are not :( I've got 26 chickens, younger ones are about 4 months old and...

    Does anyone raise quail on the ground?

    My property is double fenced :) mostly because I keep 3 miniature horses, 8 free range ducks and some chickens. Plus there is always room for improving.

    Does anyone raise quail on the ground?

    I've got my quail on the ground and to be honest, it really bothers and pains me seeing quail on those horrible wire grounded cages. Specially when I see how happy mine are scratching, foraging, hiding and hunting for bugs. I bought a 10x20ft chicken coop, placed my raised bed garden inside...

    Review by 'cuquitina' in article 'Deep Litter Method - The Easiest Way To Deal With Chicken Litter'

    I think my coops are too small for this but I will give it a try anyway. I guess you can easily drop all the contents after one year or the time you let it stay in your composting bins?

    Help! Opossum in Nesting Box!

    I love opossums, have had them around and love so because they take care of mice better and safer than any bait, they also get rid of snakes, roaches and other pests. Opossums DON'T carry rabies as some people think, they don't attack you or your pets, they are solitary yes, and territorial, so...

    Beware: Tractor Supply Co. chicks are NOT vaccinated--never

    I feel a little awkward by commenting in older posts LOL, but guess this is what happens when you are a newbie looking for information. One week ago I purchased 4 Rhode Island pullets and 10 Cochin straight run babies. I have been reading all kinds of opinions about medicated feed, vaccines and...

    My feathered friends and I want to say hello!

    Thank you!! I love these fuzzy babies by pieces. They have been through a lot and 2 of them are not very friendly, more on the wild side. But I don't care, they will eventually come along and I have made some good friends that give me advice and training tips. The sign is awesome, isn't it...

    My feathered friends and I want to say hello!

    These are some of my minis... One of these days if you guys want, I can tell how did I get into this mini horse rescue thing. I don't just go and bail out a horse from the kill pen. I follow them on Facebook, and I keep an eye on the horses nobody else wants. 3 of my 5 minis were last minute...

    Hi!! I was wondering the same thing some weeks ago because there was a chicken up for adoption at Rockwall's shelter and I asked them. They said no. You can't have backyard chickens in Rockwall unless you had them before an specific year :( You got to be specially careful with HOAs and nosey...
