    Rooster started attacking us

    I have a 2 y o jersey giant that turned mean at about 9 months. I was in the garden and he was suddenly on my head! No urgent care visit, but scary. Then he hurt my Jack Russell just for being there. Since the birds free range, I kept a rake at each door to step outside. When the weather cools...

    Ducklings 6 and 7 weeks outside?

    Basil, the drake, is ok with other animals except my jack Russell who he runs off the deck. I am fairly certain there are 2 males and 5 females in the new batch with the lil guy unknown yet. He was the smallest at the store and still is. Thanks! Will definitely keep an eye out.

    Ducklings 6 and 7 weeks outside?

    Should I keep them separated longer? I have 3 adult Rouen hens and 1 drake.

    Ducklings 6 and 7 weeks outside?

    I have 6 and 7 week old ducklings who are mostly feathered and who my family wants out of the basement. It is still 40 for the low this next week. They have a hoop house. Should I wait a week when the low is 50, or can they be moved now and use a heat lamp for a week? I want to wait but my...

    Uses for 5 gal home depot buckets

    So this has nothing to do with buckets but I didn't know where to put it and wanted to share the laugh. There were some cute calico princess chicks that I have never had and the Ducklings had outgrown the brooder anyway.... lol. It is 2 weeks before they can go out and the county next door just...

    Uses for 5 gal home depot buckets

    I have been studying (by listening to lectures while doing other things) the age of human cultures and the migration patterns. Lol obviously not a topic for this board, but as I was listening to people arguing I couldn't help but remember your well said comment. Also my family wants to know if...

    Uses for 5 gal home depot buckets

    Yes, they are #2 which is one of the safe numbers. 1,2 4,5 seem to be safe. But the home depot website said that it wasn't food grade. Not every 2 is. It does seem to be a safe enough resource. However, for my waterer I am going to check the local bakery for an old frosting pail.

    Uses for 5 gal home depot buckets

    I have never started my own plants. Lol my mom said it was too hard but, looking back, we didn't have the space or light. I turned my basement into a barn. 3 brooders going just now so it is warm. I was thinking about getting a grow light and trying some seeds.

    Uses for 5 gal home depot buckets

    Awesome! Thanks! I do have an old drywall bucket, but that is for carrying gardening tools only. The plants are beautiful. Do you use a potting soil? I read that garden soil is too heavy. We have clay soil here so I am making raised beds to sit on top. The 3 I have did great, logs in the...

    Uses for 5 gal home depot buckets

    So I grew up collecting 5 gal buckets where they appeared, washed them, and used them for chores. I bought a couple home depot buckets for a spinach tower but until it is warmer I was using them to haul water for the ducks. Now I read that only food grade buckets can be used for plants, water...

    New member!

    Welcome!! I am just getting back into chickens and gardening myself, never hatched any myself. Unless you count a duck as an incubator! Lol. I put a clutch under a Rouen that was always broody. It was great until she tried to get them to swim. Poor mama, she was so confused why her babies were...
