    Minnetrista Minnesota Residents - Support Changing Our City Code

    Hello, My name is Joe and our family moved to Minnetrista, MN about 3 years ago. Coming from Minnetonka we didn't think twice about this smaller (more rural) town allowing us to raise a backyard flock. To our surprise, about 3 months in a nosey neighbor decided we "might have chickens" and...

    10 Week Old Olive Egger Rooster in Minnesota needs a new home

    I just found out that I have a male olive egger cockerel (the red one in front) who is 10 weeks old. I can't have a rooster in my city. Anyone interested in providing a good home for him? If you had a hen to trade, that would be great, but willing to just let him go as well. I'm in the...

    Modifying API - Heated Poultry Waterer, 3 Gallon

    We have this water container for our 3 girls. It works well to keep the water from freezing (a big concern in Minnesota) but I hate that I have to fill it from the bottom and flip it over. Any suggestions on how to modify it?

    Hoop coops in extreme climates?

    Hi! I posted about inheriting a coop at the house I bought a few months ago and ultimately have decided to scrap it* and start fresh with a totally new setup. I'm in Minnesota, so I'm thinking carefully about my designs, and I'm not intending to actually acquire chickens until the coop is done...

    Coop break in, missing bird, torn wing

    I moved my 7-8 week old pullets outside about a week ago, and woke up this morning to a sad scene. The wire (1” x 2”) in one corner was pulled free of the staples and looked as if it had been pushed back from the inside. There was a gap roughly big enough for a basketball to be pushed through. I...

    New MN farmer

    Coming up on my first winter with the chickens, and I’m very thankful for all the winterizing advice I’ve received here. (“No heat, no heat, no heat” is my mantra). I have two buffs and a barred rock. Her sister met an unhappy fate with a hawk last month, and the loss was a hard pill to...
