I know that some ppl feed leftover chicken and other meats to their chickens, nothing against them and I don't want to start one of THOSE threads but..... it doesn't feel right to me. I've heard some of the arguments as to whu it's ok and frankly, I'm just not buying it. Does anyone have any...

Anyone ever hear of this blue footed chicken? I guess it's a special treat in France and protected from export so we'll probably never see the French one's here but someone came up with a strain in California that's very similar. I just learned all this on the Food Network- iron Chef America of...

I did! Last night in my yard between the coop and my house! I was up sick all night and at about 3 in the morn I heard some really strange noises outside. Upon further inspection(me with a flashlight staying as close to the house as possible), I see four sets of eyes! I don't know that they were...

So I just get finished explaining that I've had so many birds and haven't had a problem losing them and then WHAMMO! It's my own fault- here's what happened: I had just put the goslings out with the big geese, the chickens were having a hay day, and my dogs were out ON THEIR LEASHES(we have...

I ordered 50 pheasant chicks from my usual guy under the impression that I was to pay X amount and had to order a min. of 50. Well, apparently I got them from his stock and am paying quite a bit less(and getting 3 more) which I thought was a bargain. Then, after about only 8 hrs, they start...

We got this old shed from a neighbor for $50( it would've been free but he delivered!). Yesterday we repositioned it, leveled it, put doors on, put a roost in, built in a seperate pen for the meat chickens and one for the goslings( the space where the bale of straw sits will be chicken wired)...
