    How did that incubator work out for you Theresa?

    What keeps predators from digging under electric netting?

    I want to build a chicken tractor for my property and use electric netting to keep the predators out. About every coop build I see, people put hardware cloth on the ground to keep predators from digging under the fence. But I never see anyone mentioning that when they do a tractor with...

    You need to get rid of the duck immediately because if he mates with your hens, he can kill them. A duck's appendage is very different from a rooster's. Some drakes can live peacefully with chickens, but you have to watch them to make sure they're not trying to mate with the chickens.

    You can bet if I see something like that on my place, it will be splattered all over the surrounding trees! LOL Now my BIL on the other hand will catch him and cook him. :D

    Looks like Bessemer & Chelsea are the closest TS stores to Birmingham, but there are several around there depending on where you are actually located. Find any other feed stores.... they usually have "meet ups" or "trade days" at least once a month and you can always find someone willing to...

    Hope she finds someone because my understanding is Muscovies are really good fliers unless you clip their wings and it'll be all over folks' rooftops pooping everywhere..... the HOA will probably freak. :)

    Hey Rainee, did your eggs hatch?

    Just got 8 new Australorps to add to my flock. The wing tips on one of them stick out a little bit and every once in a while she'll get a drive by pecking on her wing tip.... is it something I should worry about? I could probably swap her at the feed store, but don't know what they'd do with...

    Don't worry so much. As long as they have enough room and you're good to them, they'll be fine. Go to Tractor Supply, get you a couple chicks and they'll adapt to wherever you put them. Make sure the coop is raccoon proof at night and you'll be good to go.

    Don't remember if I've asked you before, but where are you on Sand Mountain? My Mom's family was from up there. She grew up in Oak Hill which is right outside of Crossville.

    Everything always seems to say cook to over 160 degrees for any wildlife and you're safe. :) I'm in the same camp, not sure I want to try them, but I'm going to at some point. Glad your coop was not damaged too bad by the fire!

    And I'm amazed at how much tiny chicks *know* about life already! You always see where folks talk about mama teaching them stuff, but when I get my day olds at the store who have never even seen their mama, they know how to eat, drink, scratch around looking for stuff, run from scary stuff...

    Have you tried soaking their rears and/or putting them in an open bottom cage and all that to cool them off?

    Don't know in particular, but you might try to look up the ordinances of wherever you're interested in. https://library.municode.com/ga

    YO GEORGIANS! :)

    For me, as long as it's not a gully-washer, I'll take all the rain we can get! I have the same problem with my run, but mostly because I was dumb enough to slope the roof towards the uphill side and I haven't had time to install a gutter back there yet. :idunno I'm hoping some of these big...

    I sure don't climb up there and pick it. :) I guess anything you bring in from the outdoors could have something in it, but I don't tend to worry about things like that.

    I just start out with a couple inches to cover the floor and go from there. I used to use the bagged pine shavings from TSC, but that was getting expensive. A friend suggested pine straw, so I changed to that and it's done fine. I rake it up when it's dry and stuff it down in those thick...

    On the Livestock Conservancy web page, looks like there's a Campbell breeder in Bowdon, GA which appears to be maybe an hour from you. You might dig around on there as it seems there would be someone around Birmingham raising them. https://livestockconservancy.org/
