A dog got into my chicken yard and killed 13 of my hens and I have three with injuries. I have them inside in dog crates and I have been spaying vetimycin (spl?) I think the one with the worst wound is starting to stink! What should I do?
For the first time in five years of having chickens I have a rat problem! I have had rats in the past but upon notice I’d put rat poison in the shed next to the coop and they would promptly eat it and die! That has only happened a couple of times. Well, I saw a rat the other day for the first...
Hi! Can anyone tell me if a baby pheasant can live with baby chicks and then grow up to live with chickens?
The feed store had one baby left all by itself 😭 so naturally I couldn’t leave it there in that wire cage all alone! So then headed to a different feed store to purchase it some...
Hi old friends! Haven’t been on in a while. All’s well here! Just wanted to celebrate my first five gals turning five! Maryn, Rosemary, Kelly, Sunny, & Claire ❤️
I was asking on here if bug zappers work... well, I’m here to say.. they do! We have trillions of mosquitoes here in south Louisiana! And my hens and parakeets were swarmed by them every night... I put these up and they have brought the mosquito population down by about 85%....
Does anyone have experience with using a bug zapper in the coop for mosquitoes? We have them so badly that some of the gals are choosing to sleep in the run instead... if I stick my head in the roosting area I can hear them swarming around! There are so many it’s ridiculous!!
I just noticed my gals shaking their heads.. a lot! And when a I looked I could see these little flying bugs that are light in color and I guess look like some sort of gnat... they are landing on their heads and if another gal doesn’t eat it or if they don’t shake it off then it looks like the...
Now this is the story all about how
My life got flipped-turned upside down
And I’d like to take a minute
Just sit right there
I’ll tell you how I became the Princess of
some fluffy derrières....
I got my first chicks in March of 2018.... 8 little...

Does anyone have any tips on how to rid your coop of mosquitoes..? My coop is infested.. poor gals! I sprayed it with all natural mosquito repellent but that seems to help only a little...
Hello.. I have had ducks in the past but mostly raised babies then released to a pond when grown.. If I get more I am planning on having a two foot high fence with a hot wire on top for their yard.. and going to build a dog house type of sleeping quarters for the night.. my question is.. will...
Hi... was wondering if anyone has experience with these dogs... do they like to stay outside all the time..? I heard they like to walk the property at night.. do they guard against evil humans too? Are they hyper and wild while young? Or are they a calm breed?
Why does the feed get really hot in the bag? I keep my feed.. All Flock Raiser... pellets and crumbles.. inside my house.. I was keeping it in the bag inside of a Rubbermaid tote with lid... I removed the lid as the inside of the tote was getting wet.. now I keep one bag in a tin garbage can and...
