    I have one big nipple waterer and it hasn't frozen so far but I wondered if there was any heating coil that could be put in there for the winter? Does the dog water dish get filled with the pine shavings? It sits on the floor or ground right?

    Oh I know! I've seen one or something like it. It looked like a big owl sitting on a stump. I almost screamed when it flew away because I had never seen such a wingspan before. I didn't know that existed!scary stuff. I think it could carry me away never mind my chickens!

    My husband bought a net that fits over the run. So they all just hang around together. I hope this is the answer for now.

    My leg horns insists on roosting in the tree way up high where I can't get her. She starts foraging at Crack of dawn but that's also predators are out and about. She already got attacked by a skunk a couple weeks ago. Went in the coop a couple nights but is right back to the tree. I know it's...

    So they are officially called pullets at this age? The first one was laying in the corner on the floor. She went so far as to pull all the hay out of the nest boxes and made a nest on the floor. I had to get the eggs with a rake. Then after a long talk and a couple of days of moving the eggs up...

    Just wanted to say hi to everyone. And I enjoyed trying to catch up. I got a new phone in June and could not for the life of me sign onto this site. I tried everything. I guess I finally figured it out. Just as a refresher, I was down to 2 leg horns earlier this summer having sent some ardent...

    Hi.I wonder if I should never go on vacation while having chickens. Last year they got attacked by a dog when I went to Toronto. This year I got an email from my chicken sitter saying one of my leghorns has mysteriously died. I'm so sad. She was one of my original chickens and one of the most...

    If you get a plan for rodents vs carrots let me know. Last year they deccimated my carrot crop. Like a cartoon really. All greens still there. Carrots gone!

    I saw that article too about golden red. But why would they offer Golden Red as a breed and have RIR on the list too if they were the same thing? I guess I'll find out. I'm getting nervous about processing my egg eaters and starting with some new babies. I'm keeping my leghorns. I hope they will...

    Anybody know what breed is Golden Red? It's not RIR because they had those listed. I got a couple anyway.

    I'm going to try my hand at meat chickens. Just 15. It seems like a short term project. I have a shed I can temporarily convert to housing and I will build a tractor so they can be out during the day. And I have found a guy who will process. Like my husband says it isn't cheaper but you can't...
