    Some Paralizing Desease Is Wiping Out My Little Flock

    Something is happening that’s causing my hens to become partially paralyzed. Two have died and now this morning, another is limping. This is only affecting the hens that are Easter Eggers. Several weeks ago I found one just dead and removed her. A few days later, another hen was not using her...

    Hen has a leg injury that’s not healing

    I really don’t think I have the heart to willingly put a this hen down but I am at a loss... I want to figure out if there is anything whatsoever I can do otherwise. I noticed the she wasn’t using her left leg at all and was holding it out in front of her almost two weeks ago. The other...

    Help identifying and treating skin condition

    Pictures are at the bottom I’ve had this Black Sumatran hen that was given to me for at least 6 months now(I think it’s been longer) Ever since i got her, she’s been bald on the back of her neck. I assumed this was from a rooster aggressively mating. I waited and waited and there was no signs of...

    Is this thing they are doing normal?

    I did do this. I built a modular pin that I raised the young ones up from chicks in up to recently. I connected to the main run with chicken wire in between for a week and then removed the center to connect them. I believe the silkie has a strong bond with the brown one in the pictures. They...

    Is this thing they are doing normal?

    i just integrated these 5 young ones in with three adult hens. They are all hens. The young ones are 4 months old. They hold their mouths open a lot and kind of pant. I figured they where hot but the adult ones don’t do it like they do... they have all been together for a week now. Is this...

    Ducks Have Really Watery Diarrhea

    I have two ducks that are basically pooping water. They act and behave otherwise fine, quacking, walking about, eating, and drinking normally. I don’t see any other signs or symptoms. Included are some pictures of them and their poo. I have them quarantined on a raised pin in my garage so...

    Apparently I Have A Knack For Getting Violent Hens

    I’m at my wits end... It seems im running a chicken gladiator arena. I have 8 hens total. Several Hens have bald spots and blood has been drawn a few times. I’ve posted about the violence between two of my adult hens, I’ve tried the advice to segregate the aggressor(Black Sumatran) in a pin...

    Property fence options

    I’m going to to 72” high. I want to minimize that chance of escape as much as possible. It’s to keep chickens, ducks, and small dogs in. I’m confident my smallest dog could get trough an opening 4”x4”. I won’t need gates because I’m going to do a privacy fence on the front side. It’s going to...

    Property fence options

    Rural king is an online store isn’t it? I don’t know about ordering 800 pounds of fence through the mail. Wouldn’t you pay a lot on shipping, and I doubt the regular postal service can deliver it either. I remember when I was a kid, my dad got reclaimed tin roofing from chicken houses and...

    Property fence options

    Im looking to fence my property in and I’m on a tight budget. I’m looking for opinions on a few different fencing options. I’m looking into using welded wire, Redbrand Kennel fence, or no climb horse fence. These are the options in my budget, horse fence being barely. The big considerations is...

    Long fencing options on a budget?

    Geeze, twenty dollars a pop... from looking at Home Depot and tractor supply here, it’s $7.88 for round 8 foot pressure treated posts and $9.37 for 4x4 by 8 foot pressure treated pine... 20 feet in between? I was calculating based on 8 to 10 foot gaps. Is concrete needed for every post like...

    Long fencing options on a budget?

    I’m thinking the best option is a combination of the privacy fence(about 160 feet) and the rest being either 6 foot high welded wire fencing or 6 foot chain link fencing. If privacy is an issue still, maybe I can plant some sort of vine plant along the wire/chain link where the neighbors can...

    Long fencing options on a budget?

    I would really like to free range my chickens but I need about 700 feet of fencing to fence in my yard. I want some input on fencing options. My neighbors hate that I have chickens(I don’t have a rooster, so it’s not that but ,”the neighbor is turning the community into a farm”) and I can’t...
