I’ve been away for about 4 wks and my dad picked up their feed this time and actually got them 4-grain scratch and not feed. 😖😖😖 They are free roaming all day so they do have access to grass and bugs and they get fruits and veggies daily too. However before I left 4 of the hens were laying and...

So I’m seeing lots of mice/rat poop. I started searching for a solution and saw an add for the bucket trap and wondering if anybody has used it. The rodents don’t die in this trap so what is the process for a bucket of mice after??

This chick showed up in my yard today. I’m not sure what to do. I got her in the run so she would be safe from my flock that was chasing her around. I left enough space in the entrance where she could get out if she wanted and at some point after eating and drinking she got out and then...

I’m new to chickens and my dad who got her from a neighbor doesn’t know either he said something in Spanish and I can’t figure out a translation for breed. So hopefully you guys can help. It wasn’t easy getting pictures of her as she doesn’t like me getting near her. Even with chicken crack...

Hi all!! I’m new to chicken raising. I live in Florida and have wanted chickens for quite some time and a couple weeks ago I mentioned it to my dad. A week ago my dad surprised me with a Hen and her 9 babies. 😅 I wasn’t quite ready for them. The chicks are about 4-5 weeks and are free in...
