I have a "little" dilemma. I had one broody hen who only laid one egg. I let her keep it as she seemed so determined. I didn't think I would get a chick, but I did. So, I only have one chick, now 2 days old. My chicken coop right now is a horse stall. Momma has her nest in a horse feeder...

Thank you for the reply...unfortunately, the pipe is already up around the trees! I may try netting above the run. I'll put a bib around the bottom, but we are on bedrock, so tunneling under isn't very possible. Right now, several miles away in the flats, prairie dogs are abundant, and keep...

Thank you! I live in Northern AZ, near the Grand Canyon. I only know we have skunks because the dogs come home smelling of them once in awhile! No raccoons, very few fox, a lot of coyotes, some snakes...and egg stealing ravens. The dogs seem to keep the coyotes at bay...but I have lost a few...

Cute!

Hi all. I currently house my chickens and ducks in a 12X12, well ventilated, predator proof, box stall. Every morning I let them all out to free range. I am happy with this set up, and I am spoiled. I love to be able to walk into the "coop" to clean and feed. Unfortunately, I need the stall...

Thanks for the reply!

No, naked legs.

Thanks, don't know what to do with 2 roosters...I already have one. Any idea on the chicken breeds?

4 weeks ago, I purchased "pullets" from our local TS store. They didn't know what breed they were. Out of the 3 of them, I'm pretty sure that 2 of them are Roos, please tell me that the third one is a Pullet!!! I'm thinking that the ducklings are white Pekins?

I am by no means an expert. I have a hen who had Bumblefoot. It is usually an abscess that a callous eventually grows over it...keeping it from draining. I t is usually a staff infection. Can be caused by the foot getting injured on a sharp object. You can give 1/2 of a baby aspirin for...

Thank you

I just Brough this Duck home to keep my Drake company. What kind of Duck is this? Owner didn't know.

Thank you! I'll try this.

Hi there, "Drake", my Mallard duck has had a crusty eye infection, bilateral for a few weeks. He is pretty wild, but I did catch him the other day. I gently rinsed his eyes under the faucet with Luke warm water. I couldn't get all of the crust out. I did see that both eyeballs are clear. He...

Thank you all for your warm welcoming and good wishes!
