It occurred to me that dad uses bags of chicken poop in his garden. He said it had been processed so it's safe for people to use. But what about chickens? I'm not using it in their coop, but their coop is right next to the collard patch that does use it, and we will track it in on our feet. Any...
First off I'd like to start by saying this forum has so many great articles and posts. Some of which have answered my questions, other which leave me asking more. This is probably because I live in a very specific climate and as a first time chicken owner, I desire to do things in a specific way...
If you can find me something credible that proves other wise, then I would stand corrected. The only horses I know of that are scientifically proven to be chimera are Dunbars Gold and Sharp One - both brindle AQHA registered. Both thought to be different types of chimera. This was discovered due...
Not sure why you are calling Acorado II a type and not a breed. Unless you mean that Holsteiner's are warmbloods, in which case you are right.
The marking on him, commonly called a blood mark, thought to be caused by a somatic mutation. Which if I remember correctly, basically turns one or more...
Thank you for those links and information. I feel silly for building this dog house structure now. Lol And I forget that just because I find 60 degrees to be cold, chickens probably won't care. And while we are usually below the freeze warning line since we are so close to the beach, we have had...
So I'm entirely new to chickens, and I'm designing our first chicken coop. Thankfully I'm not unfamiliar with pets, airflow, and respiratory issues.
I know from experience when breeding horses, consideration for air circulation needs to be given at foal height since that's where they are...
Thanks for all the warm clunky welcomes. I think many of you would have enjoyed tonight's dinner conversation.
I had been working on the coop plans all day, and reaserching chickens - just read the hot topics email on trouble shooting egg problems, great read! And dad had a great day selling...
We're New owners, or future New owners. My father had been talking about getting chickens for years, but didn't know anything about them. He grew up on local eggs, but never raised them. Finally he cleared a patch of garden to build a coop, and I've just taken off with research and drawing up...

Hi, my name is Jackie and for years my family has talked about getting chickens for the house. And for years that dream went unfulfilled. A highly productive organic garden, one squirrel run, and years later, we are finally putting the dream into motion.
My father is a great woodsmit, so I...
