What exactly is in Loose minerals - such as names?
Is there a better/favorite goat grain mix to look for?
Want to get the best for healthy happy goats :)
I would want to know that too. @NorthwoodsChick i didn’t know all you had to buy was the monitor- is it light sensor too? I dig your handy work and creative painting. Really just a string to pull up a wooden door!? So simple..
How many birds do you have? Looks like two waterers and two feeders? I’ve been considering this style though also love the pvc pipe way too for rain capture for water with option to refill it with nipples and for their food with each bird having a hole to feed out of so no squabbles. Love to...
Thank you. When you say both are you referring to having two? Or both as in two of the attachments kits? Do you think ducks can also get through this with easy as well?
How are your ducks and rabbits getting along? I am doing a similar set up on a smaller scale with chicken/duck/rabbits shed and run. Here is my plans from another thread I posted to:

Have you’ve tried any homeopathic approaches? This website and her courses are gold:

type in your chicken’s main most noticeable symptom, I did ear infections per what I read in your post. These remedies can often be found in natural grocery stores...
This is useful information. I’ve been considering one and really like the idea of peace of mind even though their coop will be predator proof have extra security is nice. Do you have suggestions on their Attachment kits, such as
Cube mk1
Omlet mesh
Chickenwire mesh
and your...
Great feedback and insight, thank you for taking the time to read and respond! Good point on the added moisture the ducks will add into the coop… I plan to Adobe cob the sides and bottom which will essentially be like “earth cement” plus adding a deep litter method I found very useful and clean...
Howdy Colorado thread! I’m in Lakewood. Curious to get some input on my new flock! Here are the breeds I’ve selected for egg production, egg color, personality and Colorado weather hardy birds:
Barred Plymouth Rock (1)
Black Ameraucana (1) - black chickens warn off hawks because they look like...
I ended up taking her to the vet just to be safe. I’ll keep that in mind for the future , I was just trying to find a quick thread to get information fast. They are stitching her neck bc muscles are exposed.
Please Help! Hawk Attack :(
I was able to save her from being pinned down. This looks like the only wound she has. I flushed it out with non-iodized pure salt diluted in filtered water. Then put Ayr Saline Nasal gel with aloe Vera on the open wound. Gave her 0.75 ml CBD to calm her down. She’s...
How fun! First photo is Nugget flying to heaven. Second photo is Poppy acting like a mini raptor. Third photo is both girls' first forging adventures. :)
This is Poppy. We’ve been having below 0 and single digit temperatures for several days now. I’m wondering if her comb is getting in danger to frost bite?
Ive added tons of bedding and a flap to their coop to lock in their heat as much as possible with allowing ventilation. She’s spoiled and...
Not sure if my question makes sense - I feel it’s wrong to feed the chickens the egg shells of their own eggs they lay or is it ok to give them that extra nutritious dose of calcium?
Even if it comes from their own eggs that they lay. For some reason (morally) feels wrong to give them...
