    Sorry. The last one also fell to predation. I guess having them here was a bad idea.

    Need to re-home 4 Black Stars

    I have 4 black stars, about 7 months old, that I need to get rid of. My roommate has acquired a dog that terrorizes them. The dog is actually very friendly and only wants to play. But she's so much larger than the birds that they get afraid, and then the dog just wants to chase them. I had...

    Do I have enough ventilation?

    This thread has been an interesting and informative read. I am in the midst of designing my tractor coop and now realize that what I had originally intended would not have worked well. Now, I am rethinking my design. On the 4 X 6 coop I'll have a 6' ridge vent, which I have an idea on how to...

    Hello, future friends. Newbie here.

    The tractor I have in mind would be a 4 X 6 coop elevated over a 4 X 12 run. The run is a wee bit small for them. But, being portable, I'll be able to give them fresh pickings often.

    Hello! I'm Stephanie, and I live in Chesapeake Virginia. Several years ago I decided to work toward a more self sufficient lifestyle. I plowed up a veggie garden, planted a few fruit trees, and began raising meat rabbits. My intent was to also start keeping a backyard flock. But after...
