Last night I bought a 2x2x8 from Home Depo for $1.50 to make the roost. They love it. Thanks

I just got two hens and one male Golden Pheasants. Do they need a roost to perch on or do they sleep on the ground? I had two Ringnecks that would only sleep on the ground. Thanks for any insight, Bosque

Looks really great. Your ringnecks will love the extra room. Well done. Bosque

Hi, Didnt really know where to post this as it is not an emergency, just a chicken question. My buff is going through her first molt. She has lost feathers and has stopped laying. This morning, I noticed that her beak is now hooked like an eagles. Do I need to trim the hook or is this just...

Gallo del Cielo, When I got to my pheasant pen, I only saw the female who had blood coming from her mouth. The male was not in the pen. When I turned around, I saw the male in the yard upside down, the feathers from his chest had been ripped off. There was moisture on his feathers, but no...

Nate, How do you know if it is a coyote if nothing is in your trap? How high is your fence? Can coyotes jump really high? Are there any signs that prove that it is a coyote? Last night, I used peanutbutter and a can of wet cat food to bait my live trap and again nothing. It has been a...

Gallo del Cielo , Im in NW Tucson. I have baited the live trap everynight and nothing. Tonight I baited the trap with peanutbutter and wet cat food. If I dont catch anything tonight, I think that maybe it was just a domestic cat that wanted to kill my pheasants. Food doesnt seem to be the...

Thanks everyone. Tonight I will try using my left over steak and if I dont catch anything, then tomorrow I will try the wet cat food. I wish that I knew exactly what I was trying to trap

What is the best bait for a live trap? Monday morning something, maybe a bobcat, domestic cat, raccoon pulled apart some PVC poultry netting that I had around my pheasant pen. I cannot find any fur or tracks, but something pulled apart the netting and mulled my two pheasants. They both died...

The DE seemed to do the trick! Thanks

This year has been really bad in Southern Arizona for biting ants. I have tried so many things, I am hoping someone here can help. The ants are really little with two red segments in the front and a black segment in their rear. There seems to be a network of tunnels around the chicken coop...

I have a one year old Ringneck hen and am going to get a one and a half year old rooster and hen for her as a companion. After quarantine, is there anything to watch out for introducing the new birds into the flight pen? Thanks, Bosque

Hi, Does anybody feed their pheasants differently in the heat? I have heard that feeding chickens corn raises their body heat and should be avoided in the summer. Is that true with pheasants too? What specifically do you feed you pheasants in the extreme summer heat? Thanks, Bosque PS I live...

Hi, I had a pair of Ringnecks but the male passed. My question is should I try to find her a new home for the hen and try again with pheasants after winter? The pheasant pen in close to my three chickens, so she does get interaction. I am in Arizona so the winter will be mild...maybe getting...

What kinda butterfly/moth is that?

Just like people, sometimes we like something and sometimes we dont.

I had never seen an Impeyan before the post a few down. They are such a beautiful bird. I have been doing some research and it is said that they are noisy. Are they too noisy to have in an urban setting? What does their call sound like? Would you feed and pen an Impeyan the same way as a...

Dang! Im in the city and cannot have roosters. Wish I could give him free to someone from BYC. Anyone around Tucson want him???

Here is a side view...

What should the saddle and tail feathers look like for a hen or roo?
