Hello everyone, I'm new to this website so please forgive me if this question has been asked a million times. I have been through some of the threads but would like a more personalised answer! :) I am a mother to two lovely 8 month old ducks who currently sleep in a one-storey hutch in the...

Hello All -- We had RIRs at our home on St. Pete Beach back in the waaaaay back. Now I'm living in Northeast St. Pete and want to share the fun of gathering fresh eggs with my grandkids. Still looking at pre-made coops and laying-hens. Would love to get baby chicks, but no roosters allowed...

Hello! I have recently purchased a pre-made coop and am in the process of setting it up. I want to predator proof the coop as we have coyotes and raccoons in the area. I have read that to predator proof the coop from underneath and prevent anything from digging under the coop, that you need to...

Soo long story short I went out to buy some gray call ducks (For breeding purposes) and the man there was a very nice old farmer who had tons of birds. He had ducks, Peafowl, Chickens, Pheasants, and Turkeys. He showed me around his little set-up and show me a breeding pair of Red Golden...

I have four 8 week old chicks that stay outside most of the time. They have a nice little coup and run built for them but they seem to look very "sad" these last couple of days and stay in their little coop most of the time. They look healthy and at some point in the day they get very energetic...

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I have had my backyard flock for about 2 years now but I am just starting to get serious about all of it. Love raising chickens and I hope to build a business around it. I just started incubating my own eggs and have successfully...

Hey so I would like to get a good cheap coop for Japanese quails and other type of quails. I would also like it to be big enough for chickens in case one day I ever get chickens. So dose anyone know any good ones I could try also easy to clean out. Thanks.

Hi. I am aware that geese require very little compared to chickens when it comes to housing. What I can not find information about is how much space they will require. Specifically, should they be able to stand up completely in their house? My geese will only be housed at night, or when they...

Hi! I want to be sure NO predators can get into my coop because I love my hens TOO MUCH!!!! The run is completely enclosed in hardware cloth and it's very spacious and tall with a clear roof. The coop itself is raised with two doors on either side than can be opened and closed. They are secured...

Remember the days before Cell Phone Addiction, credit cards and K Mart was King of retail? Way past that. Before Credit Cards, Strip Malls, Convenience Stores, Bottled water? Wow. The things that made us soft. Spoiled. Relying on Retail Proprietors to make our lives simple? Ingenuity is a lost...

So a few days ago we finally finished our new coop for our five gals to live in! I'm really glad for this because their previous store-bought coop was TEENY! YAY! (Sorry. Don't have pictures but it's green with white trim)

I -very- recently made an order to Cackle Hatchery for Rhode Island, Barred Rock, Australorp chicks and 5 random guinea keets. I want to know if I can raise them together, and I have quite a few questions as I have never raised guineas, let alone with other species. 1. What should I feed them? I...
