so out of having 27 chickens in my entire experience, 8 have died of predators or unknown cause (2 predator, 6 unknown death) in 2 years. I found her dead under the roosts. Her neck seemed arched and limp. Her face was pale when it was bright red just yesterday. I didn't really pay...

I have this friend that moved from scotland in september and I've been friends with her since then. At first I think she was grateful that I was there for her. I was always nice and loved that I had a new friend. But now that she has gotten used to this town she can't stop talking about her...

"she" is 8 weeks old and extremely cuddly. I would hate to see her go but if she is a boy she may have to go. She is a blue bantam and her comb is more red and more developed than the others. Now that I look at her she seems to have hackle feathers.. (do they look like scruffy feathers that...

Okay. So I have narrowed my search for a new animal to raise on our small acreage of 3 acres. The animal must be something an inexperienced (more or less) person can breed on small scale. The animal must also be moderately quite and the noise they make must be non annoying for our neighbor's...

I have chickens already. We have close to 3 acres and noise could be an issue. So our deed says we can have split hooved animals but no non split hooved (horses or donkeys) animals or poultry. But our city says we cannot have roosters so my mom made us give ours away. But according to the new...

It wasn't out of hatred but it was because we don't live in an area where a roosters are permitted. We dropped him off at the man's house and I know he's happy there. But not hearing him crow somehow makes me feel sick... like something is missing. Funny, after visiting his farm in makes me...

I need some info as I saw some at the feed store (were not for sale) and I loved them! They were nearly full grown and very small. What do I need to know about them? Are they heat tolerant? What are their housing needs? Are they somewhat friendly? Where can I get some in texas?

1 more q before I'm set on getting some. We had a serious problem a few years ago with snakes eating our button quail. But they have never touched our chickens. Do you think they would consider pheasants as fair game? oh... we live in east texas btw

I want pure brown for a project I am doing called "the rainbow carton."

I need help starting a small business of selling cartons of eggs containing all shades possible! I already have chickens and i'm 14 but I think it would be nice to earn some cash for the pocket. I would like to stick with large eggs and good layers. I am a fan of the docile breeds though I do...

Are they docile? Do they like to be touched? Are they willing to raise their own chicks? Any info would be great! Thanks. Also, one q regarding pekin ducks... Are they like cornish chickens where you can't keep them long term as pets because they begin to get health problems from their...

Their coop is an old barn turned into a chicken coop. Its very sturdy so we didn't have a lot of options when deciding where to put our chicken coop. Well, we in East Texas have clay soil, so the drainage is horrible. Puddles stay for days and the chickens get their feet wet and gross...

Hi all! I was thinking about raising a small number of bobwhite quail (10 or so) and was wondering if its a good idea. I've had a few that have wandered into the yard over the years (I do live in texas ) and I love the noises they make. I would like to breed them on very small scale. Is...

One person here told me they were. I kinda had my heart set on them but noise is a bit of an issue. I just want some more input, thanks!

Hi All! I was really stuned by all the gorgeous pheasants in my earlier pheasants. I was just had a few questions regarding pheasant ownership as there is not much available elsewhere. 1. Are fancy pheasants noisy 2. Can they be kept in hot climates (East texas - very humid and HOT)...

Well, I had my heart set on Bourbon Reds but someone earlier said they were talkative. Are there any that are "quiet"? In terms of the breed, I know all birds are different.

I want a maximum of 5 poults (bourbon reds or sweetgrass). I live in Texas but don't want to deal with the hassle of hatching. Ideal sells 10 min.

Please post pictures of your ornamental pheasants and say their species. I'm lost with all of the different ones. :S

First off.. My coop is SURROUNDED by massive post oaks. So its very shady. I was wondering if I could get a pair of pigeons and let them share the coop with my chickens. Of course I would get them seperate nest box(es) that are chicken proof as well as seperate perches that are too high for...
