    How to fix a yard destroyed by ducks?

    Good morning all, The weather is starting to turn around and I don't believe that I will see any more snow this year.(At least not anything more than a dusting on a few odd days) All of the snow melted today because we almost reached 55 degrees. Feels like I should have the AC on already after...

    Can doves and pigeons live together?

    Thank you both so much for the advice. I built a loft so I have to decide between one or the other. I just love the look of a white pigeon/dove. Basically I was looking to house a pair of doves because I feel like they are more tame or can be tamed down to sit on your hand and let you feed...

    Can doves and pigeons live together?

    They are very similar birds so I figure this wouldn't be an issue to have a pigeon and 2 doves in a loft above my chicken coop right?

    Best dog kennel coop design

    I would imagine you would be able to butt another one of the kennels up to the gate and match the gates together coop and just take the gates off and take one of those gates and put it somewhere on the outer perimeter for you to access. If that makes any sense...

    How much land should I be looking for?

    That would be a nice idea if the farmer ever sold the farm behind the house....

    Rabbits and Poultry

    Good point, that crossed my mind too. I could see a disaster if the ears were to ever drag in any snow and/or get wet, the way the wind whips in my area, probably a bad combination in sub freezing temps....

    Rabbits and Poultry

    No need to apologize. I love reading all of this stuff. It keeps me busy when its slow at work. (I work overnights, which is why I have a hard time keeping up with the conversations cause Im usually asleep when all the action is happening lol.) Its really awesome that everyone shares their...

    How much land should I be looking for?

    I agree. They pant like dogs in the summer. I hate when all the poop freezes in the winter time. It is harder to keep the coop clean because of the fact that the poop builds up and freezes into a mound and holds the straw together like glue when its frozen and makes It pretty hard to get the...

    Looking for Chicks

    I use an old Hova-Bator. They are just the styrofoam incubators with the wafer thermostat in them. I turn the eggs by hand 3, sometimes 4 times a day. The incubators are only like $50 for the base model

    Rabbits and Poultry

    Good question, I would've most likely raised it ground level with the chickens. I can see from some of the other responses that this might not be such a good idea..... Thanks everyone for the advice. I think I will just get a separate hutch for the rabbits and keep them separate from the...

    Rabbits and Poultry

    Hello again, Spring will be here soon(hopefully) and I want to raise a rabbit with my chickens to see how this would work out. I had rabbits as a kid but they were all raised indoor and they were dwarf rabbits. Nothing wrong with dwarf rabbits, but I could raise something larger now that I...

    Choosing a favorite fodder

    Good morning, This popped into my head last night. I have a grow tent at home and was thinking of starting some fodder for the chickens and ducks. It feels like forever since ive seen real grass..... My question was, what is your favorite thing to use? Sunflower seeds? Barley? Wheat? Peas...

    Looking for Chicks

    I know a lot of people are shying you away from the hatching eggs aspect of raising chicks, but I think its a pretty rewarding experience and you can learn a hell of a lot. I ordered a few sets of eggs off ebay in the past. Some might cringe hearing that but I had very positive results with...

    How much land should I be looking for?

    Totally understand that. I don't think I would mind living where it is hot most of the year, but then I guess there would be trouble with mud rather than snow. If anyone has ducks, you know mud is a duck magnet. Or maybe I should say ducks are mud magnets. Either way mud and ducks are not a...
