Hello,
I'm fairly new to the backyard chicken flock club. Before making any purchases I was sure to do quite a bit of research, but research isn't the same as experience. I'm hoping I'll be able to find out more information from people with first-hand experiences!
At the moment there's three...

Ok, hard part over - trying to make the title short enough :)
Got my first two chickens two Saturdays ago.
1 - By accident the cats and chickens are drinking out of the same outdoor dish with water in it.
Can this be a problem to either of them?
2. Chickens have been free-ranging some of the...
So basically, I’ve always wondered what would happen if “the three” had never happened and if Ivypool never left the dark forest. It might be confusing but basically Ivypool is chosen as the new “leader” of the dark forest after she managed to kill Brokenstar. She’s still alive and in...

I am new to this so bear with me if I dont do this exactly correct...I joined today and I will start with the questions provided :)
Are you new to chickens/ when did you first get chickens?
* No I am not new to chickens...I have been around chickens ever since I was young ( going to be 43)...
Would neighborhood cats be considered predators? We lost 2 of our girls today and the only animals we've seen near the birds are neighborhood cats. One the head Is missing the other was torn to shreds. Not even eaten. Looks like a sport kill.
I'm a crazy animal person. I know it is just about kitten season, and I also know I have a few stray cats in my neighborhood. Most of them are intact. I want to start a TNR program because of my local shelter always has a bunch of cats,(It's a kill shelter) and I know the outcome for a lot of...
Hi folks!
I am out here in the Arizona Desert.
I am a city urbanite that bought a run down old fixer upper farm and now have animals, including fowl.
Most of my animals are rescues though.
I also have a horse, a small herd of blue eyed mini goats, dogs, cats, and a sweet pig.
Am looking to...
Good morning! We have a dozen Buff Orpingtons, (9 black and 3 yellow chicklets (we are calling them that, since they are much younger, got them a week ago)) and now 2 roosters! My husband had chickens when he was a child and since we now own a small hobby farm we wanted to have some chickens to...
Hi all, I just posted an introduction in the New Members forum. We have 3, 2 year old Black Australorp Hens and 1 4 year old Red SexLink (I think) hen, adopted from a friend. 2 girls aged 8 & 10, a very sweet and friendly chick snuggling border-springer mutt, and 2 feisty outdoor cats.
For...
Hi everyone, I have been poking around on this site and decided to join after I deleted Facebook and realized I lost access to some great chicken advice! This site seems so informative and fun. A few things about us:
Growing up in Alaska in the early 80s, I didn't know anyone who had...
My pair of dogs get ear infections pretty darn often. I'm almost certain it's something in the house, as I've switched foods multiple times and the best one we've found cleared up everything but their icky ears. While I'm trying to figure out and put a stop to the source of this, I've been...
I was raised on a farm. I never wanted to do anything else. My grandparents and an Uncle advised me to discover the world. Regardless of where I lived, I still gardened even if it was adding a tomato plant to a flower bed. HOA just don't understand people wanting to GROW food. So I learned...
hello. I have never owned chickens before but we are going to start our journey this spring. I’m getting ready to order my 1 day old chicks. My daughters really want a few Silkies. We have a very small cat (7lbs). She hunts small births and moles regularly. Don’t worry. She wears a bell. I’m...
Not quite sure where to post this, but here goes. I have an established flock of laying hens, guineas, and Muscovey Ducks. They all free range in the afternoons about 3-4 hours. Well, the ducks are out all the time now as they refuse to be cooped anymore and rarely leave the pond. My husband...
