This is probably a stupid question. I'm thinking about getting ducks and want to know if they'll go up a ramp and into a chicken house. We have a storage building we converted into a chicken house and this is where I'm planning on keeping their feed and using an existing nipple water system as...
Just the trio of RG for now. I need to get more experience under my belt with them before I get anything more exotic. Although one day I'd like Temminicks or Impeyans. Can't afford a $200 mistake and with my current level of experience, that's what it would be. Lol.
The section that connects to is also closed in. I do want to put up some hardware cloth around thethe bottom so that when the chicks are born they can't get out. I' worried though us making noise and all will upset her.
My two 1 year-old Red Golden hens have been laying for a couple weeks now. I was picking them up then I noticed one was starting to make a nest so I decided to wait and see what she would do. Went in last night and this is what I found:
Speaking of which, is there anything special I need to...
One of my friends has recently discovered my Red Golden Pheasants. She's in love with the male and has no desire to breed. I've heard of others keeping multiple males together. Is it ok to keep multiple males together as long as no hens are around? Would one male rather be by himself or would he...

After reading a thread on deworming, I decided I needing something to use as a resource where all the information was in one concise location.
First and foremost: I AM NOT A VETERINARIAN!!! I take no responsibility for the results of using the information listed here. All...

After I studied Poultry Science in college as one of my required classes, I got hooked on poultry. I've always loved birds and decided I wanted to have a small flock one day. We've finally...
Golden Retriever (or a Goldendoodle if you don't want shedding). Best dogs ever. We had one that I grew up with. They're very intelligent, easily trainable, and great with kids. I had one growing up, sweetest dog and loved people. She got along great on the farm too.
Now we breed Goldendoodles...
I have a male (neutered) JRT that is about 6 years old. Other than some aggression issues with other male dogs, he's very well-behaved and was the star of his obedience class. However, if you let him out of his lot, he runs. Don't get me wrong, he can run all he wants. But, he gets his mind on...
I wouldn't worry about it too much as long as he's acting normal. They get cast all the time. It scares the poo out of us, but usually they get themselves out of it and are fine. One of my actually got cast while I was in the barn the other day. Pulled his hind end out some (he's a mini) and he...
Tony I thought for sure you could tell me!! The guy at the feed store isn't 100% sure. He said it probably won't hurt them. But, the label I kept off the bag says nothing about pheasants, only quail. At the bottom it says:
"Caution: Do not feed to quail less than 1 week of age. Sporting Bird...
I always keep the label from the bag I'm currently feeding in the container I store my feed in. I was feeding my RG's yesterday and something on the tag caught my attention, so I looked closer. Apparently, I've been feeding them flight developer with BMD. Stupid me for not double checking when...
