We bought a pair of adult approximately 1 year old Bourbon Red turkeys while we are waiting for our little bourbon red poults to grow. One is a Tom and the other hen. We have them in a pen and the poults are in the barn to grow as they are only a few weeks old. The Tom non-stop struts and...

Just received a violation notice that states that I need to get rid of my tiny flock of chickens within 10 days. (Scroll to bottom to see ordinance). I have had them for over a year and a half now, going on 2 years, and we haven't had one complaint from the neighbors at all, they even seemed to...

Although I am under the belief that garter snakes are pretty harmless to chickens, we get some that are about 2 1/2 - 3 foot long as I live near a lake and woods. This morning I heard my 4 chickens squawking their heads off. I ran out of the house to see my Jersey Giant tussling with a pretty...

I'm completely new at this, and I have been feeding our two little girls with Manna Pro Medicated Chick starter which was suggested by the feed store nearby. It's only sold in a 5lb bag for $6, which wasn't bad for the first few weeks as they didn't go through the feed so quickly, but my chicks...

Well, I've been reading a lot on the forums for advice and ideas, and finally decided I might as well register and join the community. To begin, my husband and I have thought of raising chickens (maybe even a milk cow or goat at some point in time), but we were planning on waiting a few years...
