Hi, I've been finding rats in my run when I go out at night to check on my chickens. They were digging holes, so I layered the skirt with hardware cloth, and I think they are going under the skirt or finding little corners to go through. I started to take the food out every night and bring it...

Hi everybody, I am having an issue with one of my chickens. So, I have three chickens, which are the first ones I have ever had. There are all a bit over a year old. I have a speckled sussex named Matilda, a black australorp named Daisy, and a buff orpington named Maisy. About two weeks ago...

Hi, So I tried googling this but I'm confused. I would like to order a blue copper maran from the hatchery My Pet Chicken. Am I guaranteed to get a chicken that is blue like the pictures? Because that would be ideal. Or would I be getting some kind of black or white or splash one? Thank you!

Hi! So right now, I’m planning to add two more chickens to my flock of three. I have one black australorp, one buff Orpington, and one speckled sussex. One of the two chickens I want to add is a cuckoo Maran and I would love if the other one is some kind of lavender/blue/grey color. I would like...

Hi, does anyone know what’s wrong with my peppers? Is it a disease? How do I fix it? They are bell peppers

Hi, just wondering how many peppers can I fit in a 4ft 10 in row? A row of lettuce is about 14 inches in front of where they will be. I can't decide between 3 or 4 plants!

Hi, I am looking for some tomato and pepper plants and was thinking about getting them from Home Depot. Or am I better off at my local garden nursery? I was only thinking about Home Depot because they have the specific types of plants like "Tumbling Tom Hybrid", whereas my local garden nursery...

Hi, I planted some lettuce seeds today outside in my raised bed. I have never grown lettuce before. I'm going away in 2 days and I have asked my neighbor to water my lettuce seeds while I'm away. During the day, it will mostly be in the 50s and 60s F. At night it will be in the 40s. How much and...

Hi, I have a quick question about some lettuce seeds I bought yesterday. My average last frost date is May 1 and I'm in zone 6. I'm almost done with my raised bed garden, the dirt is coming this week and then I just need to put a fence around it. I was wondering if I could plant the lettuce...

Hi, I was wondering what are people's opinions on my gardening plan/layout. I'm fairly new to gardening and have done research and planning for my garden that will probably be planted in April/May. I'm thinking of planting them when they have already grown a little and are young (not sure what...

Sorry if there is already another thread like this, I was just curios how many eggs do people get.

Hello! I love hearing about other peoples chickens! Tell us about your flock! Some possible things you could say: How many chickens do you have? What are their breeds? What are their names? How old are they? How many eggs do you usually get a day? How long have you had them for? Any funny\cute...

Hi, this spring and summer I'm planning to have a garden! I'm very excited about it! I had a garden last year, but I don't know if you could call it that. My neighbor had some extra tomatoes and a Tabasco pepper plant so I took those without knowing any thing about gardening. I had a big issue...

Hello everybody! I was wondering what color eggs everyone gets! I thought it would be fun to see all the colors! Feel free to post pictures of your eggs! I have three chickens and get different shades of light brown eggs.

Hi, the low tonight is 3 degrees and it has been getting pretty cold recently. I have wind protection in my run. In my henhouse, I have put blankets on top for insulation which has blocked off some ventilation but I still have some air flow. I'm a new chicken owner so this is my first winter...
