I found this chuck of what looks like rusted pipe or other metal in our last bag. I know this isn't a major threat to chickens when this large but in smaller pieces it could slip by. Not to mention the prices these companies demand mean we should demand that level of accuracy. I really wish we...

Ya'll, look at this. This is what I came out to first thing this morning. Those steps are 30" off the ground and steep, yet this goofball scaled them to hang with the chickens last night. I scrambled to help him down because he's as grateful as a pekin. Lol

Come follow along on our diy water collection for our chickens and gardens. We have a 225 gallon tank that is buried to avoid algae growth from sunlight. We have a 4x8 coop that is along side our 6x10 shed. We plan to have a stand alone and solar powered pressurized system. We learned the...

Someone get this girl an engineering degree! She was attacked by a bobcat about 8 weeks ago and needed extensive antibiotics because cats are nasty. She was on about a month of antibiotics and we had to throw out her eggs for a month afterwards. So, I just left a few in there to see what she...

We have a pekin that was grabbed through some 2x4 fencing and were at a loss. She survived but was not in good shape. The closest vet willing to see her was 2 hours away and it was late in the afternoon. So, after hours of frantic searching, I found airvet. It took seconds to video chat with a...

Our poor girl was attacked by a bobcat about an hour ago and it managed to grab her neck through the fence. She's conscious and alert but in shock and lethargic. She has 4 punctures around her jaw and neck and the only vet willing to see her is 2 hours away. Anyone have any ideas or tips? We are...

Got the call from my wife that our girl wat attacked about 45 min ago. She's conscious but not in good shape and no vet within 2 hours is willing to see her. Apparently, the cat pulled her head through the fence and had ahold of her neck. She has 4 holes but the bleeding has stopped. Damn I hate...

While crawling into our outdoor brooder I got a glimpse of our drake's foot and noticed a dark spot. After inspection I see he has bumblefoot on both feet. He's not walking weird but I'm planning the treatment and doing research. I'm going to start soaking his feet in Epsom salt and see if we...

Has anyone had issues between a drake pekin duck and a rooster? We came home to find our drake and our rooster bloody! There are no signs of a struggle other than the boys. Very odd because the roo typically steers clear of the drake as he's huge. I've never seen any major issues before and we...

I'm at my wit's end with these chickens. This is now the 2nd time they have destroyed their water cup. Unknowingly, I fill the water reservoir and it floods the hen house and all the shavings. We live in Florida, so I want them to have water throughout the night as they are locked up at night...

Want to "Go green"?

So I just noticed that our incubator was off because the plug got bumped. When I checked the history of the temp sensor, it shows that it started dropping about 10 hours ago and was 75 degrees for the duration. We are on day 3. Will this be detrimental??? 😭😭😭

I got this one at Tractor Supply and can't remember what she is. She's about 5 months old. Thanks!

So happy to join the community! We have a mixed flock, including a pair of pekin ducks, and are incubating 12 more eggs. Can't wait to learn all we can...
