    Flies in the chicken yard

    hi everyone, so I’ve got my ducks and chickens in a fenced in yard about 1600 square feet. It’s all dirt at this point after they’ve eaten pretty much any grass. I’ve noticed that I’m starting to see a lot of flies in the area probably from the ground being compacted and there waste sitting on...

    Seeds to Sow

    Hello, I have a question about sowing seed in my yard. I would like to surface sow some grass seed all throughout my yard that my chickens and white embden geese will be able to graze and peck at. I'm not sure which types would be best surface sown and how to keep my chickens from eating the...

    Muddy Chicken Yard

    We have part of your yard fenced for our chickens to give them the ability to 'free range' outside of their run. We let them roam in the yard every day and didn't have an issue with wet or muddy ground during the fall and summer because it was pretty dried out from the hot months. This is our...

    evolution of chicken houses and yards over the years

    There isn't a coop per se at our house, although some I've seen at BackyardChickens.com are creative and beautiful, true works of art. So this is just about sharing where our chickens have lived through the years. It's a rural area, no formality! and whatever was here, was used. When...
