The brooder we have is actually pretty big (4 feet x 8 feet). I think I will put something between him and the pullets at first so they can see each other first and then based on that, I'll introduce them.

I'm looking to do this this upcoming week so any ideas are appreciated!

Hello Friends! I have a friend who has a 6 week old roo chick looking for a new home. I still have my four 6 week old chicks in the brooder in my house. Can I put the roo in with the pullets? Will this work out? What are your suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Welcome! BYC is amazing! You will learn a lot and meet some very awesome people. I find that chicken people are the best people.

I love your account name lol

The struggle is real. I almost picked up chicks back in February but I wanted specific breeds at our feed store so I had to wait. It.was.so.hard.

We have had a fox problem over here from Day #1. We have a den close to our property and every year there is a litter of multiple kits. On any given day at any time of the year, we have at least 4-5 foxes around. Our neighbors also feed them, which is frustrating. We've lost a few chickens to...

Hello Friends! I just had to post a photo of our newest little babies on the farm. From bottom to top: Daphne (Light Brahma), Sweet Pea - Sweetie (Lavender Orpington), Roberta - Birdie (Barnevelder), and Preppy (Speckled Sussex.) We are in love, of course. Chicks are just pure happiness. Happy...

I used a plastic container with lid and holes cut in the lid too. I put it on a cookie sheet to catch any spills but when we had ducklings, I had to do cleanings multiple times a day to minimize wetness and smell. It was A LOT of work. As the ducklings grew, I had to use larger and larger...

Hello everyone! Thank you so much for all the replies. I was able to get 4 metal trash cans with lids at Walmart this week. They were a bit cheaper there than at Tractor Supply but were the same ones/brand. I used 1 for chicken feed, 1 for chicken scratch, 1 for cat food, and 1 for the actual...

It gets pretty hot and humid here in the summer and Winters are a mixed bag these days.

That's what I figured most people use. What's the best place to get them?

Looks like 2 runners and 2 Pekins maybe.

Hello. I am looking for ideas for storing my feed/scratch. I currently keep all feed/scratch in our feed/tack room which is in our basement through an outside door. We have some mice friends getting into it. What do you use that works? Metal trash cans? Plastic feed containers? Thanks in advance.

Hello and welcome! I'm in PA, but I don't have alpacas. We have sheep! Great to meet you. This is a wonderful place for information.

My polish has stopped laying for the winter.

Does anyone have a "wiggle man" and other farm animals, like livestock? Do they get scared or stressed?

This is a great idea! I could put this around the water bowl area and the pool area that is outside of the run too. Thanks!
