The wooden fence on the East side of the home, 10-feet of it, seems to have stopped them...they've not flown over it. What I was describing was using a 30-foot Volleyball net strung across the West side...it would be 3-feet tall and not have a solid top to perch on...I think it'll stop them. The...

Hmmm.....water, never thought of that. I suppose I could rig a solenoid to have water blast out of a nozzle across the area. Only problem is that the water would hit people and cars as they drive or walk by. I think the lowering/raising volleyball net, on sensors, would be more practical...

Alright, I did the research on YouTube and sure enough, you can eat them! Seems people just use the leaves, rinse and saute. Many suggest it's a 'miracle food' and other nutritive qualities. Weird how it can go from stinging to safe...but cool, thanks! I have stinging nettles all over my farm.

You can eat them, for real??? I had heard that the Indians used them for some kind of medicinal use...but you're saying you can boil them and they become edible, even delicious? I mean, not pepperoni pizza delicious but still, decent vegetables??

My coop has an enclosed area off the ground with 2 perches...but there's also a run outside with some perches. At some point, perhaps during summer, they all took to sleeping outside. When winter came, they tended to stay outside and huddle together. I just figure, let it be. Some of my birds...

Hey folks, I've got a doozy of a pickle here, hope I can get some thoughts... We've got a 10-acre orchard and we let our chickens free-range the whole property. Chicken coops are in the North/West corner, got about 100 birds, mostly egg layers (big girls, not really flyers). Problem: 600-feet...

I've had this happen with 2 batches of chicks, they start pecking at each other's butts until the feathers are gone and there's an open wound...then they follow the wounded birds around like a freakin' buffet. I'd find a couple dead chicks with their innards hollowed-out and thought it was...

The ducks and goose have been unfriendly since day one...they run from us and even when we catch one and hold it gently, it generally just runs away. We also had a small chick that fell into the pond as well but they continued using the pond after that. Another thought is that I have a water...

So they saw the goat drown and that freaked them out to the point where they've given-up on water? It's crazy to think but it's the only explanation that fits. I may just need to find another duck so they can watch that duck enjoy the pond. Animals, huh!

Alright, this may sound crazy but any help would be appreciated. Not long ago we bought some water fowl for our farm, we got a Toulouse goose, jumbo Peking duck and 3 Rhuen ducks, all babies. They were raised together and when they got big enough we put out a 4-foot plastic pool that they loved...
