It's been a little while since I've been on this forum but I still lurk from time to time but need to ask a small favor from you all, if you don't mind. Valentine's Day is coming up and I'm on a mommy birth club since I had a baby in April and got this idea from one of those kind ladies. All...

We have a blooming catalpa tree in the backyard with flowers falling and wondering if these are safe for my chickens to eat?

Our chickens are 20weeks old and was told we needed to worm them and treat for mites. They aren't showing any signs of either but is it common practice to go ahead and do it anyway? Will we still be able to consume their eggs? How often do you do this? And what do you recommend using? Thank you!

Anyone familiar with planting and maintaining hydrangeas?! I've got 13 hydrangea plants they are 'Nikko blue' and 'Merritt's supreme'. We have two 20ish foot long beds and I had planned to alternate the 'blue' & 'pink/purple' but was told it would be hard to get these colors. We used a tiller on...

Where we live were looking at Temps between 20s-60s and this has been the wildest clutch I've had yet indoors, and ready for them to go outside. Will they be ok to put outside now with a heat lamp? They are feathered almost fully and there is 14 of them. We're making some lower roosts in the...

Well I ended up ordering 17eggs from papas and received 26! However, 2 came broken and so I sat 24. This hatch I have not added one drop of water wanting to try a truly dry incubation hatch. Temp has been good, humidity gasnt ever dropped below 27% and air cells look great. I checked late last...

I have my incubator set up with my eggs in it in a smaller spare bedroom. I just put them in there yesterday evening and I've been closely monitoring just because my incubator hasn't been used in a while, been through two moves and want to make sure everything remains functional. So anyway, I...

So I ordered hatching eggs from Papas poultry which I'm guessing should be here sometime next week. Haven't heard exactly when he expects to ship just what I assume. Tonight I decided to clean out the incubator and where the fan is located the plexi glass has a big gap so when you look through...

I'm thinking about possibly choosing a breed like BBS Orpingtons and offering hatching eggs, chicks if hens will sit or every once in a while I might hatch some myself. This is just a thought would simply be a hobby but tell me the good, bad, and the ugly! Or what you wish someone may have told...

I normally do not purchase EB eggs but I did because it was all this store had besides a cheaper brand I wasnt interested in. Anyway, I cracked four open making my son and I some scrambled eggs and there was a very ovvious bulleye in each egg. My husbamd used several the day before too and every...

Well we were fortunate enough to score around 16 pallets! I was really surprised to find out how many people/businesses locally are so willing to get rid of these things!! So we have more options if we need more :) Now just to figure out exactly what to do with them! I've seen pictures of pallet...

So I've finally taken pictures of my chickens this evening I've taken a few off and on but got pics of all 13 of them tonight. I have 5 Rhode Island Reds and 2 silkies (white and buff) that are 12weeks old and 6 Cochin chicks that are about 3 weeks old now! I sold some of my silkies and Rhode...

I'm thinking of moving my chicks outside to our carport, I can safely put them out there so no animals could get to them but wondering if it's to soon? I love them to death but all this dust and smell is just becoming to much for us. I do clean out and dust the room but I'm personally ready for...

My dad has about 5+ 6ft privacy fencing panels at his house and is offering them to me for the coop. I'm not really sure how I could make use of them. S.O. Says I can use the boards for the inside walls ... Any other uses? We are about to start working on laying the 3/4" floor in the coop. If...
