I have 4 Pilgrim (crosses I think, both males are starting to grow double humped knobs at the top of their beaks and according to Holderead's pamphlet on the breed this means crossbreeding has happened) that are now 9 months old. Somehow I had been under the impression they would lay till late...

Hi, All. Last June we bought 4 geese (Pilgrims, theoretically. 2 female, 2 male) and I think 1 of the gander's is trying to kill the other. We have them in a space roughly 45'x35' enclose with electric netting. They have a ~4'x8' house open on one 4' end. They have had a 6'x2' stock tank...

1st off: I've read through at least 3 other threads on this over the last week and am posting this question because I think I've ruled out the main deterrents to chickens wanting to roost in their coop: Predators, Mites, space, ventilation. Timeline: 16 chicks born June 19th 8 Lavender Orps, 8...

I see quite a few on Amazon but some seem maybe like they are self published. I checked Rite in the Rain's website hoping they made a waterproof one but they don't. I'd love to find one that was waterproof paper...I can't imagine a regular paper one lasting very long if I use it in the field. TIA

The final product with run. Coop is 8'x8' 6.5' on the front sloping to 5' at the back. The next one might be 6' -> 5'. Door from the side to enter, door out the front with chicken door in the bottom of it. 2 8' roosting bars inside with 1 48" wide x 14" deep colony box. The run is 8' wide x 40'...

I have a mix of Lavender Orps (7) and Barred Rocks (6). They are now 25 weeks old and the 1st egg showed up the day before they were 18 weeks old. This past week we started seeing a green/olive egg almost every day now. I've googled but can't find any reason for either breed to lay this color...

I've got another thread about coccidiosis but since that has been ruled out I need help with this guy. warning graphic images below the description. Yesterday morning I went out to move the flock from the inside space to outside for the day as I have been for almost two weeks now. The birds...

I have 4 Pilgrim Geese that are exactly 10 weeks old. When can I start feeding them scrap vegetables like cabbage leaves, sweet pepper scraps, carrot tops, collard stems, broccoli stalks, onion/garlic/shallot scraps, and brussell sprout scraps are all regularly composted here. All uncooked, just...

Thanks for the warm welcome over on the intro sub. I've spent an hour or so today reading various threads on coccidiosis because I think my beginner flock might have it. Though, not seriously I don't believe. Going to bullet point the sequence of events in hopes of keeping this post short. lol...

Greetings, everyone. My wife and I have just started down the small homestead type farm with a goal of producing eggs for sale. We have a small, not quite 5 acre property in Southern Indiana. We intend to increase our chicken flock over the next year to around 50 chickens. We purchased 8...
