    fencing decisions...

    ok, great that's what I needed to know. I'm not overly concerned with daytime predators, there is alot of activity at the farm so we rarely see anything during the day, as much as I am containing the chickens to the barnyard. I'm trying to design this well so the barnyard will be in the middle...

    fencing decisions...

    It's been a long time since I've been here but I'm starting to plan again. My major plans for the spring and summer are to start fencing in our untouched 16 acre property, starting with one small area at a time. I have the plans for my sheep/goat pasture already drawn up and planned out (we...

    1st Duck Egg!!!

    Thanks, so glad they do get bigger! It was kind of disappointing, lol. I'm trying to record all the dates, I think I'll record the sizes too. Just for fun! I took a few pics yesterday but my camera cord is in the truck and hubby went to work!

    1st Duck Egg!!!

    woohoo! #2! Same size shape and color How much fun! I didn't want to disturb 'em so I waited until 6am to check, I'd love to figure out which one's laying. Would be neat to keep track

    1st Duck Egg!!!

    Woot! I have moved my girls into a tractor because I have way too many boys. So I built a tractor with covered sides for the girls to live in. It has shelter/shade and is easy to move around daily for fresh grash and bugs. They've been thrilled with their new home and get all excited about...

    I'm Lazy - Low maintenance ideas

    Quote: Great idea Steve! First time I've seen this. How come I couldn't think of this? LOL What about when it rains? It can come down without warning around here! I try not to fill my feeder too full.. That way I lose very little, if at all. They will usually eat what gets wet within the...

    Looking for a feeding device which opens AND closes the lid

    Not sure if this would work for ya but maybe leave the 'next' cup empty and set the timer so that it closes when you want it to? http://www.petco.com/product/103940/PetSafe-5-Meal-Pet-Feeder.aspx?CoreCat=certona-_-ProductListTopRated_Dog_2-_-PetSafe%205-Meal%20Pet%20Feeder-103940

    Mixing different breeds

    OH, maybe I said that wrong...egg production...not looking to breed or raise... meaning I'm only going to eat the eggs...not raise or eat the chickens. Backyard, home use only. I'm not a huge egg eater, I like 'em just fine, but I don't eat them very often. So it's basically for hubby to eat...

    Mixing different breeds

    So after a night of insomnia, I've been thinking, planning and researching chickens, which I plan to add to the farm this spring. I really only want 2, who will primarily live in a chicken tractor that I'll move around my yard and pasture (I can't free range except for maybe a few hours at a...

    Do your campbells fly??

    My Khakis fly better than my mallards do! Especially the girl! She could probably clear my 6.5 ft fence!! She flew over my head one day and almost escaped! The wings got clipped the next day

    What Breed is this Dog?

    I'd go with the Lab Akita mix too. As mentioned not the right coat for Rott/lab, no spots for Chow/ Lab. I don't think it is because the primitive markings are usually pretty dominate but could possibly be Lab/Malamute

    We have flight!!!

    So, I was changing out the water in the pool yesterday at noon and imagine my surprise when not one but 2 of my little Mallard duckies flew past my nose! lol! So my question is....what age to clip wings? I'm assuming now, hehe. But I never really looked it up. Also, how often will this need...

    I want to know the trick too. My aussie girl is a poop seeking missile. She beelines for it every time! She also knows leave it, drop it, and a billion other things for leaving it alone but still as soon as I turn my back she's got a mouthful of poop, cat, poop, horse poop, goat poop, she...

    Automatic waterers for ducks?

    I just wanted to update to let ya'll know that I set up a livestock waterer in a standard 8 quart horse feed bucket, it just barely fits but it's working perfect!! I just empty it out once a day from the crud they like to put in it and the waterer kicks on and helps rinse the bucket out. Less...

    Frustrated

    Quote: HMMM, well, Maybe on a lower level it can be ridden anywhere with certain maneuvers, but I'd really hesitate to ask a horse to do the collection maneuvers on our hardpack clay or even on damp grass. There are days I'm hesitant to even trot in those conditions. Personally, I think...
