This does NOT appear to be a pasty butt situation...

We know that baby chicks ofetn have plugged vents and so when this 18-hour old chick had a dangling mass that looks like some sort of birth anatomy, we soaked it to see if it would dislodge -- but it did not. The egg had been left by its mother and started to hatch, so i helped it along to see...

We have a black drum tumbler and it is working well. Now that we have added 9 more chickens and a second coop, the need for another, easier access compost bin was needed...i found 3 pallets the same size, chicken wired the inside, screwed together and made slide in door panels for the front. I...

My bride came up with a brilliant idea for a poop hammock! We started using an old shower curtain but that was a hassle to attach, take down, re-attach. We found an old banner from a car dealership promotion that was from 2011. It happened to be exact size to use, has grommets in 6 places...

We have an infestation of mealy bugs on our hydroponic bok choi. My question is, can my chickens eat the leaves and bugs with no ill effects? I will spray for the pests after we harvest what they/ us plan to eat for the next few days. Thanks in advance, John

Good morning! I use a stackable pot system that works well. The hardest thing for me is having to tie tomato branches up from roof beams. We have an invasive iguana problem here so the entire system is enclosed with hardware cloth to keep everything out. Right now my Scotch Bonett peppers are...

Here is the coop we are adding to our existing one. will have to be taken apart and moved to our place. Our friend is building bigger and needs the space. Starting ground work today, excited to get it going!

The USA is out of control! This is the most absurd thing I've heard in a long time...big Gov, Big Biz. GMO all the way to the bank. Let me know how to help from the Caribbean! I feel bad for those being punished for living a healthy lifestyle...eating fruits of their labour, teaching children...

Not sure of the age of our girls, got them as layers a few months back. These birds free range for hours in the morning and then for a few more hours at dinner time. They eat and forage all over the yard and have a variety of things to eat. This is the first sign of anything since we had...

She is on a nest as I type this. we will continue to monitor the situation and take it from there... To BayBayPeepers, we are newbies and not sure what grit is other than what my wife cooks up on the stove! thanks again, john

Hi all! Our dark Araucana hen seemed to be under the weather...wouldn't return to coop when we came out to them..found her laying under some bushes a few hours later and was coaxed back to the coop with bread. Drank a bunch of water and seemed okay. this morning we noticed a pile under the...

Hi everyone and greetings from the Cayman Islands! I have done a brief search here and online but still unsure of what type of storage containers are best for my feed in my hot and humid country. As we have a only a few birds, our large sacks of layer pellets, cracked corn, and Bermuda hay...

We had our annual island living show this past weekend on Grand Cayman and there many vendors attending ranging from propane gas appliances, security systems, landscaping, etc. My bride managed to speak with a local sod grower and ended up coming home with a number of fresh squares free of...

Our hydroponic system puts out so much basil we trim it with the hedge trimmer! Here, BokBok Choy and Mother Clucker enjoy basil, lettuce, Chinese cabbage, etc. We'll see if it has any affect

Thanks! How fun is this! Life is good today! John
