    Hi just wanted to introduce myself and my little flock! I rescued two hens from the animal shelter about seven years ago. I love them and were good layers until recently (but I still love them!). My husband built a coop and since there’s room, we decided to add a few fresh girls...

    Backyard Chicken Newbie in Alaska

    Well... The title almost says it all. We got six chicks that were 5 days old about 6 weeks ago, and then two more 3 weeks later. We had decided to try to hatch some of our own, and ordered 12, and a Kebonnixs incubator. The day after we ordered our eggs, our original chicken "dealer" contacted...

    Hello from East Norriton PA

    Longtime lurker, first time poster here. I’ve had my heart set on raising chickens for their sustainably produced eggs and, more importantly, their companionship and quirky, funny, endearing, lovable behaviors.

    Markham chicken bylaw

    Hello there! I live in Markham, and started raising chickens in our backyard around 8 months ago. However, it seems that one of our neighbours complained - a city official just contacted us and told us we have to "get rid" of our chicken within 30 days. The children really love the chickens, and...

    Hello!! I am new here. I have never owned chickens before but have a deep desire to own my own backyard flock. I used to think chickens were dirty, gross, and not very friendly but after meeting people who properly cared for their chickens my thinking changed. I started researching permaculture...

    Dog house transformation

    In a dusty unused corner of the backyard leaning into a hole dug out sometime in the distant past by a family dog sat a very sad dilapidated dog house. Hanging gangly and spikey over it was a hideous unfriendly tree that would seem to reach out and grab you if you got near it with long tangled...
