    Muddy garden!

    Hi there, My beautiful clan, as I expected (!!)… have wrecked the garden. I live in England (wet winter!) and we have a garden that goes around the house. At the front there’s raised grass with two trees (that’s fine). Then on one side they have a pond and flat stones. We have a big driveway...

    Mud Balls on Silkies Head

    One of my silkies accidentally spent the night outside earlier this week, unfortunately it was a very stormy evening and she has ended up with large mud balls on her head hanging down over her eyes. I have experienced mud balls before on my Silkies feet, which are easy enough to get rid off, but...

    How do I keep ducks from destroying grass?

    I’ve had my ducks for about 6 months now and I’m having a hard time keeping the grass inside their enclosure. I know the water from their pool has a poor effect on the grass, but even areas away from the pool are becoming bare and muddy. I expected there to be some loss/damage to the grass...

    Hello everyone!😃

    I need suggestions to help with my muddy chicken run. My run in coop was built from an old barn. The framing was good so this is not your ordinary small little store-bought chicken coop. But what we did not realize was the rain water drains directly down to it. We tried to put in a concrete...

    The Mud...

    It rained for a couple of days this week. My chickens run, which consists of 80% dirt with light foliage in the very far corner. With the rain came the mud. My yard is sloped, and the run has turned to mud. If I step in the middle, I sink about a centimeter. But for like 2-3 feet around the door...

    Best material for drainage in the run?

    Husband and I are getting prepared to redo the run and extend our coop. Its really rainy and wet sometimes out here in WA. Sometimes the run gets so muddy and stinky, I really get concerned for the health risks it brings as well. So our goal is to also prep it for better drainage and to better...

    Muddy chooks!

    Hi, our new pullets- mostly this one in photo - are muddy (dry) due to coming from a farm that was terrential rain while they were being caught. They are dry under cover but the mud hasn’t come off. I don’t want to wash them as they are new and don’t want them to be afraid of me. Is there...

    Muddy Run

    We live in a rather rainy area of the United states, and water tends to stay for a couple days after it rains. We were planning on adding soil to raise the area so water doesn't collect there. Any suggestions on soil type or irrigation systems?
