The kids and I did it! Just have to finish the boards along the bottom.

They are positioning for a rooster. It means "here comes an egg"

I use my dogs but I have clients (I am a dog groomer) who come in the spring and want me to bag up the cut off dog hair for them to place around the edges of their gardens to keep wild animals out. They swear by it.

What??!! My Drake may try to breed the hens? Wow he is HUGE that is going to be a big problem. Right now the hens chase him around but I did see him and my big rooster having a bit of a fight the other day. I watched to make sure it did not get out of hand but it will soon be spring here and the...

Have you tried simply cutting her a sanitary path? 3 of my 20 chickens would regularly have poop in their feathers, I had them checked for worms but they did not have any. My vet and some people on here told me some chickens just do that. I did not like to see it so I took a sharp pair of...

Here the rule is 50ft from road and 100ft from any building owned by someone else. But it specifically states firearms, so bb guns, paintball guns, pellet guns are not covered but I imagine that within the city limits houses are too close together for the legal shooting of a fire arm. But all...

Really???OK , sorry here they don't count. Of course here people shoot at things and at nothing all the time here. It is funny to watch my Northern City friends come visit. They generally drop and cover for the first couple of hours.

I quarantine mine in dog crates (the wire kind) in a horse stall WAY away from my coop. It is a lot of cleaning because they are in such a confined area but worth it to not risk my existing flock. I leave a pair of rain boots outside the stall for use with them only and take care of my existing...

Most of our chickens are very tame. You can walk right up and pick up any of them including the rooster. But we got them at two days old and spent a LOT of time holding, touching, and hanging out with them. Then we got a few from a friends farm that were a bit older. She treats her chickens like...

Don't feel bad about how your run looks! Chickens don't care what it looks like, as long as they have food and are safe they are happy! My chicken house is ugly as sin on the outside but it keeps them dry and happy. But I know what you mean I got on here so proud of my huge run and house all...

This is my frizzle hen...no wait supposed to be a hen but he started crowing. He needs a new name.

Thanks! We are enjoying them quite a bit. But they are much calmer since I fixed them. They were raised together but at about four months old it was like WWIII. I had no idea such cute, soft, timid things would go crazy like that. All is well again and they will come up for treats or just to say...

Yeah, the dead one has a grave in my yard that my daughter made. Head stone says "RIP sickly chicken" the other breeds were sexed and they were 100 % correct. I only ended up with one polish hen and kept one of the roosters. The others I rehomed but I would have to really want the breed to order...

I ordered 15 chickens with a friend who also ordered 15 in April of this year. We got two extras. All but one arrived happy and chirping, the one was a polish and it died two days later despite my best effort. I assume it was stress from shipping. I mean we are putting babies in the mail I...

oops. They are both friendly and sweet now that they are fixed. Who knew bunnies could be so violent?

Whew....I was starting to think that I must be a really mean wife!I could not imagine my husband threatening something that made me happy and meaning it. I had a Great Dane that used to sneak up behind him and bite him, he threatened the dog but I knew he would never hurt it because I loved it...

That is terrible! We also live in a rural community but most do have leash laws, they are just not enforced. Here you have to complain a lot to get anything done. I took to finding out whose dogs they were then going over to explain that legally they were responsible for any damage done by their...

Yes.you can also throw in leaves etc. from the yard. I have a friend who does this in her run because she has no grass at all. She pays my kids per wheelbarrow to go rake her yard and dump it in there. The chickens love it!
