    Vegans of BYC!!

    I used to work in a long term care home for traumatic brain injured folks, so I've had it three times in fairly quick succession. You have to let me know what you think of the pineapple, slice it thick!

    Vegans of BYC!!

    I'm 97% veggie. I crave meat about once a week and then it's usually one bite and I don't enjoy it, hubby gets the rest. I do eat the eggs my layer hens lay, but not the Serama eggs. I don't eat chicken at all. It's my aim to just garden my way out of the supermarket. Hubby is a full on...

    Official BYC Poll: How Do You Protect Your Chickens From Predators?

    I have enclosed runs with hardware cloth and both run and coop have paved floors and there is a double wide section of pavers on the outside of the coop/run also. There are a lot of stray dog packs and feral cats around here. Even humans are not immune to dog attacks, and it's necessary to take...

    To insulate or not, that is the question

    I've got Seramas and they don't do well below 40 degrees. My roost area is insulated and I use a Cozy heater in there. I also have lots of insulated boxes that they can go into if it gets crazy cold. I wrap the bottom half of the run because the winds can be brutal, but the top half allows for...

    Chicken Coop to Green House

    I had one of these collapse under 4 feet of snow and it just buckled and snapped. I had two more just like it and I supported those with iron pipe that I got from Home Depot and put it exactly where the purple is in this diagram, and they did not collapse. I had made it into a greenhouse with...

    Is salicylic acid safe for duck feet?

    Salicylic acid is aspirin. Commonly used for acne treatments as a skin topical. I know you can give aspirin in water to the duck as pain relief, so I don't see why you can't use it topically too. Just make sure you are not double dosing with oral and topical, just to be safe. Aspirin is a blood...

    Adding duck enclosure to chicken coop

    My ducks are in with the chickens, as the chickens roost, the ducks sleep in their own corner and it works well. I've kept the two together for many years. Ventilation is key as ducks are wet breathers and if you live in a cold winter area, condensation leads to frost bite. Your plan looks...

  17. Really expensive fence

    My Coop | Really expensive fence

    As much as I do love to do all the things myself, this one was beyond me. Our property is like a mini mountain with a moat around it. Basically a mound with a gully around the edges. We had some of it leveled, but in the main we are just going with the landscape. It's pretty handy to have all...

    My Coop | Zero cost fence.

    I've collected up some pallets from construction work we had done, and also one of the contractors brought me a couple when he was in the area. The idea is to construct a framework to grow vines for shade. The weather has been either intense burning sun, or torrential downpour lately. My...
