JoJo was found roaming our church yard for weeks. Our congregation got attached, the short of it is I have him, hes vet checked (told he was a silky) and friendly. I pick him up daily to put him from his run to his cage at night. I've found that I'm not zoned for chickens so he needs a good...
Hey all! So I have been raising 6 new chicks in a brooder in my home. It has been exceptionally cold here and today was the first nice day we had. So I put my chicks in an enclosed dog kennel next to my hens run. My hens didn't act aggressive at all (they bitched for about 15 mins though). Then...

Hello! I have 1 week old baby chicks and I was just looking for some “bonding” advice. They are still quite skittish when I try to reach into their brooder and interact with them or even feed them. I have 9 baby chicks. I know I shouldn’t “reach into” the brooder per se, but it’s the only way I...

Yes, that's right. That is a silly title but it's essentially what I'm looking for right now.
I have three chickens right now. Two are independent sex-links (Java and Franny) and one is a cuddly Easter Egger (Easter).
Sadly, Easter's temperament is the problem we're having at the moment. We...
Hi all!
I love my ducks, but they are super jumpy. They're Welsh Harlequin, don't know if that matters. I keep seeing cuddly duck photos on Instagram but my ducks HATE to be picked up and always run from me. They will eat out of my hand and sometimes sit nearby as long as I'm very still. I...

Hello Backyard Peeps!
I'm still fairly quiet here, but here's the situation I've gotten into:
1. I work at a preschool.
2. Someone at the preschool decided "Oh hey let's hatch eggs to show the kids!"
3. I was put in charge of the incubator because I've "had birds before." Apparently parrots...

I love pallets! They are awesome, you can do so much with them and they are like grown up Legos. The 1st pic is my most recent coop built entirely of pallets and scrap wood. The fence is tied together in a lot of places for ease of removing and reconfiguring. Im working...
Meet Buttonwillow. He's approximately 4 months old and is very friendly and loving. Always the first one to meet you at the door. We are not allowed to have roosters in our area so unfortunately we can't keep him. We are crushed - especially my kiddos.
We think he's a game fowl but not...
Had a couple nice folks come by the farm today to look at some chickens we're selling.
My Big Boy Barred Rock Roo comes in to see me. I pick him up with zero resistance from him and cuddle and pet him. The couple looked at the un natural spectacle with amazement.
His name is Dr. Pepper. A giant...
