I built a box to put plants in for my chickens made out of 2x4s and ¼" hardware cloth. I can't rememberwhat I can plant in there that would be good for the chickens. What can I plant that will grow through ¼" mesh.
My wife and I are talking about getting quail, most likely regular size Coturnix. I've been doing research on coops with an aviary. It seems like I am either confusing the 2 or people don't usually have a coop with an aviary. Can anyone help with coop height and size and aviary height and size...
We just found where some of our chickens were laying their eggs while running free. It was about 25°F last night, but above freezing for 2 weeks before that. We don't know how long they have been there. Judging by the number of Copper Maran eggs (11), we were getting about 12 a week when the...
Which way do eggs come out of the chicken? Is it pointy end first or Blunt end? My wife made a comment about how pointy one of our eggs were. I said it probably made it easier to lay. She said she thought they come out blunt end first. Now we both don't know.
I'm considering raising a few turkeys for meat, next year but don't know much about keeping them in a run or free ranging them or pretty much anything else. I know our chickens don't go more than a few hundred feet from the coop when we let them free range but would turkeys stay in a certain...
We found a rooster that we wanted for our coop (the second one) but had to take all 3 in the ad. The 3rd one (not pictured) was a hold laced sebright. The guy didn't know what these 2 were or how old they are. The 1st one is a bantam and the second one is a full size, bigger than every hen in...
We found a page on Facebook called Happy Hen Culture that has multiple harder to find chickens we are looking for. It seems too good, and might be a scam page. Has anyone heard or ordered from them? https://m.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61558612406637&name=xhp_nt__fb__action__open_user

I bought this Rooster in a group with 9 other chicks from someone that had silkies/showgirls. This is definitely not what I thought I was getting. I would say he's a bantam but I have no idea what he is. He is 4 to 5 months old and crowing. I posted multiple pics with different areas of...
My daughter squeezed 1-2 week old My Golden Sex Link.She was perfectly healthy before this, now she barely moves and won't open her eyes. She is moving a little more than she was when this happened 15 minutes ago.
