    free range chickens

    My chickens free range and they are very happy and healthy and it cuts down on the amount of store bought feed they need and their coop stays pretty clean except for right under their roosts they sleep on. We stick waterers around the yard so they can stop and get a drink if they want to and...

    Good dogs for chicken protecting?

    Quote: So beautiful! My inlaws have a female they call "roadblock" and she thinks she's a lap dog. I think if we ever get another dog it will be a great pyrenese puppy so we can hopefully have a dog that doesn't kill chickens at the slightest chance she gets. Right now we have resigned...

    chickensducks&agoose : what is that kind? It's nostrils look different. I'm not sure what it is exactly. Thought it was a polish, but the beak is different from my other polish chicks. This one has a hooked looking beak and the nostrils are funny looking. Maybe someone else knows what it...

    I see adds all the time for fema trailors located near Houston. They sell for $1500 to $2500 for most of them slightly used or brand new.

    What are some cheap coop ideas?

    We made our coop out of an old trampoline that had a hole in the tarp. My hubby bought pipe the same size to make it taller then went around it with chicken wire. We can move it around the yard with enough people to help and the roosts are easy to install because it is round. We did add...

    Someone had peacocks down the river from us in our old home. They sounded like a woman screaming "help me" at night and it was very creepy because the sound carried down the river and echoed creepily. We almost called the cops the first time we heard it, but then remembered the peacocks...

    B.Y.C. Dorking Club!

    Quote: Looks like a Silver Grey to me. Where did you pick up this little cutie? And does he/she have 5 toes? Yes, he/she has five toes, that is why I started asking what it was and I had one person tell me they were sure it was a Dorking because they raised them. I'm not sure where he came...
