    Ceiling Fan? Chickens freaking out!

    We just finished our coop last month, and my husband installed a ceiling fan (finally!) for ventilation a few days ago. We turned it on during the day to test it out, and the chickens completely freaked out, so we turned it off. When we went out to close up the coop later that evening, all 14...

He is a very healthy, sweet bird, 18 weeks old, gets along very well with our other 13 chickens, we just can't keep him because our township doesn't allow roosters. His feathers are growing in beautifully, we can already see...

    My chicks + my hunting dog (coop placement?)

    We have an Irish Setter, which is technically a hunting dog, but she's not trained to hunt. She's really sweet, and even though she pretends to be fierce, she's totally a pushover (she finally caught a squirrel and didn't even know what to do, so she played with it for a minute and let it go...

    Question on Producing Organic Eggs

    I want my chickens to lay organic eggs, so I am looking to feed them organically. I have a couple of questions: 1. I bought medicated feed to start my chicks on to prevent coccidiosis. The chicken expert at the store said that the medication would be out of their systems by the time they got...

    Ameraucana Chicks?

    Looking for 2 (or 3 if I need to for shipping purposes) Ameraucana or EE chicks. A variety of colors would be nice, but really, whatever is fine. Looking to integrate them with my chicks, because the next farm store shipment isn't until may 17th (too late!)
