They are burrowing under, we put down hard wear cloth the beginning of the summer and still having problems. I just was pondering around and just bought a pack of 2 bait stations and bait and will re-work my game plan. I just can’t lose anymore of my girls 😭
I have been dealing with rats for months now. The last week they have killed 2 full size laying hens. Dragged them as far down the hole they can go.
I have tried the ratinator, the bucket trap method and the ratx corn mix poison stuff that is safe for livestock.
I am literally surrounded by...
Hi all!
I am located in Western NY and looking for possible breeders of blue laced red wyandottes. I am looking to get them in the spring but would like to explore my breeder options.
I have been wanting to add these to flock for what seems like forever.
Thanks in advance!
I have two roosters that were hatched the last week of August 2019. They are two black ones pictured, they are a mix of austrolorp and bcm. Both are non aggressive towards humans.
The white one pictured was just hatched February 26th of 2021. Breed is unknown, hatching egg batch was listed as...
Hello! I’m sorry I just saw these comments! I would prefer not to travel as my schedule is hectic especially in the winter as I am fishing my weekends away!
I have three roosters that we hatched the second to last week of August 2020. All three have shown no aggression towards humans at all, I just have way too many roosters and my hens are taking the blunt of it. They are pretty decent sized boys...breed is a bit mixed as they were all different...
In May of 2020 I started selling my handmade items. I am slowly turning more into wood signs as I have a lot more fun with them and the possibilities are almost endless. Most of my inspiration comes from my chickens and that has since become the name of my business.."TheRusticHenhouse" which...
I have a BC Maran that just started laying, I have 6 and I am not sure which one it is as all of them are laying except one or two. This mystery layer ALWAYS lays on the ground in the open area that we are planning on turning into their run off the barn. I have tried leaving everyone in the coop...
We just wanted some basics to grow. We love veggies so it would be:
beans
squash
zucchini
peas
tomatoes
lettuce
spinach
peppers
cucumber
canteloupe
watermelon
pumpkins
I don't have a lot of space really so I know I have to pick and choose. I was planning on making raised beds.
Hello! Is there any zone 6 peeps in here?? I am new to gardening and want to make sure I am starting everything when I should be. I attempted last year but ended up killing everything once I separated the seedlings (I was told to do about 4 plants per container) and they ended up getting...
Nothing to worry about :) I personally would float test also just be safe and candle for cracks. I also would crack into a separate bowl. Happy eating!
How many chickens per the space? There are a couple reasons for egg eating and one may be overcrowding. Another could be a lack of calcium...what are you feeding and do you have another source of calcium that the girls could pick at? How many times a day do you collect eggs?
I have only had one...
When my grandmother passed away we ended up buying her house and she used to have a horse in the barn. We have been converting the barn into a coop and run. In the "coop" part there is still the horses feed dish that is nailed up in the corner, and the girls have fallen in love with it. They...
Continue doing what I have been? I think I am going to try some oregano oil in the food or water depending on if I can get her to eat at some point, I read its a natural antibiotic. I haven't noticed any weight loss either. Also keep on with the calcium when she does eat like before? Or can I...
