    what breed of goat is this?

    I saw this ad posted for goats for sale. I'm assuming its a breed of dairy goat? I contacted the owner asking breed mix and size range and all he replied was the kids are with their mom which doesn't help me. I don't want to bother him but if someone knows the breed I can look it up to see if...

    Pressure Treated vs Kiln Dried? Anyone tried Shou Sugi Ban/Yakisugi?

    My husband charred and oiled the bottom timbers of my chicken coop. Its new but I think anything you can do to help it last is the way to go.

    should I stain?

    The inside of the coop is painted but I am wondering if I should bother staining the outside? It won't be exposed to the elements. The outside that is exposed isn't stained yet either but its still too cold.

    My theory on why my hens suddenly stopped laying

    I imagine it depends on where you source them from I'd avoid buying them from neighbours if you think they could have been exposed. Are you sick from exposure?

    My theory on why my hens suddenly stopped laying

    Mine quit laying when I moved them to a smaller temporary coop while we tore down the old coop. Then they were moved to the new permanent coop. I've had zero eggs in months. My girls are also older though 4 and 5 years of age. If you think yours were contaminated by toxins maybe it is time to...

    concrete sand??

    We used granite screenings from a gravel pit. Our hens have spots to get off the sand and onto shavings and straw and perches plus grit to eat in a container. It doesn't smell and drains fine and mine don't have sore feet. The dirt pens I found packed solid where the sand they will dig in it and...
