    Can minimalist shelter work to get keets of-age?

    That's certainly not good news. The impression o was given by a local was that they are very predator resistant once grown. My hope was that if I can get them roosting in the Norway Spruce trees (a quite thick evergreen) it would provide adequate cover and concealment from nighttime owl...

    Can minimalist shelter work to get keets of-age?

    We live very rural, a long ways from the road, not near any other neighbors. The perfect place for noisy birds like Guineas. We are attempting to hatch some for tick control. My plan is to free-range them; I have 30 acres of CRP broken up by wooded patches and valleys. My hope is to train them...

I've been house searching and I wanted a house on some acreage, but its just so hard to find a good house on acreage in the location that I...

    Hi, new here!!!

    Finally, I'm a homeowner. Although its not my ideal home, it is a home and the price couldn't be beat. The only problem now is that I wanted chickens, and I'll be in a housing addition (a rural addition, that really doesn't have too many homes in it yet).
