The area we will be building our small chicken run is currently covered in "pea gravel." Do I need to clear all of it out or can it become a part of the initial "flooring" of the run? Thanks for any advice!
We got a good deal on a very well made A frame chicken tractor (it's almost new). I want to make it into a secure small coop. I have an idea of what I want, but wonder if anyone else has done this. I'm thinking about raising it up and building around it. It has a very secure & good roof...
After so very many years away, I'm just now beginning anew with a new location, new home (back on the West Coast), and beginning my small chicken flock soon! Looking forward to learn from many of you!
We are soon moving out of state & are looking for a new home for our outdoor "garage" kitten. He is neutered, very sweet, hangs around outside & we feed & lock him in the garage at nite. He'd make a good house cat, too...he's box trained and loves attention. We already have 3 indoor cats, so...
Anyone have any ideas ~ besides killing them (not an option for me)...on how to get rid of extra roos? I'm trying to give them away, but so far only the females are going.
We are moving out of state soon & sadly I need to give away my chickens. I have 4 white silkies (2 are 8 months old), 3 roos & 1 hen.
I also have 3 very pretty bantams ~ black & white, 2 roos & 1 hen (8 mos. old & hen just started laying)
These are sweet birds & I'd like to find someone who...
We are moving out of state soon.
Ellen, please post a FREE for sale type ad in our Buy/Sell/Auction area in the proper format. Best of luck with your move! Thanks.
Okay, so I know I should have been better prepared...but I really didn't think the eggs I put in the incubator would hatch...(my hens are young, and so is my roo). Well, guess what? I know you'll all laugh, but last nite while at my computer, I kept hearing a "bird" and then again this...
Our daughter has a 2 yr old beautiful male white mini satan un-neutered bunny. We moved across country with him last July & have had him since he was old enough to leave the girl that bred him. Now, our daughter (13 yrs) is thinking of getting him a new home or begin a "bunny stud service."...
Can't figure out how to post pictures of my chickens on this site...I have them in my Document/Pictures on my computer...it works fine when I put them on facebook...how do I do it here? Thanks. I hope it's easy!
I finally have some chickens! My first ever! ...I feel like I need to be out sleeping by the chicken coop!
I'm getting my chickens in increments...2 today...1 silkie Roo, & 1 silkie hen...they are about 3-4 months old. Then on Tues, I'll be getting a beautiful Wyandotte roo and a hen, both are...
I'm a "newbee" and am preparing my coop for arriving chickens this wkend. I want to plant some flowers around the coop. At some point in the future, I'll be adding a larger run area....my question is, are there flowers that would make the birds sick, or ones that if they were to eat them...
Okay, so here is my question...pls don't laugh too awfully hard...
We will soon be receiving (from a friend), six 3-4 month old silkies...I think I've figured out that 2 of them are roos. She is also giving us this absolutely beautiful roo, that I think is a Silver Laced Wyandotte or something...
Hi! I found BYC site when we were in Oregon. I knew we'd be moving out to the country here in Georgia. What I didn't know was that there would already be a real nice chicken coop here! Now, we have been offered some silkies babies and a couple of 5 month old chickens. I'll be on this site...
