On Wednesday a severe storm ripped through our little Wisconsin town leaving chaos in it's wake. It had rained for hours when suddenly I heard hail hitting my bedroom window and my two dogs started getting frantic. Suddenly our power was out. I ran out to the porch in my bare feet and was met...

Hello friends. I am on the mobile android app and cannot seem to find my coop article draft. It was saved successfully. I just can't figure out how to get back to it. Thank you in advance!

I have a project in mind for the future but I could use some guidance. How do I breed specific chickens to get birds that lay white eggs? I've tried researching this topic myself, but with the colored egg obsession these days all I can find is what happens when you mix birds to get green, olive...

Some of my favorite things to come out of our garden are the fun, ugly, and weird veggies. Here are a few of mine, I wanna see yours! No rules. Just fun! 😁 Cucumber Some sort of mystery mutant muskmelon. We have a full vine that grows only these weird inedible fruit! The chickens like them...

Every year they destroy my beautiful Ostrich Ferns and have now found themselves some tasty snacks...

So I was cleaning the girl's little brooder out (it's a rabbit hutch) and found a bunch of little red mites under the shavings. Never had mites before. Currently scrubbing the coop. I have Pyranha Fly Spray on hand. I plan to spray the whole coop and let it dry. Thoughts? Safe for the girls...

Since I can't find anyone else with these birds from my local hatchery I decided to start a thread for them. I had a wonderful experience getting 6 pullets a week ago from Sunnyside Hatchery. They were very responsive to emails. Very friendly. Let me buy an additional chick at the last second...

Hello everyone! I just got back into chickens after an almost 10 year break. I picked up six little girls on July 7th (my birthday, woo!) from a local hatchery and I am SO excited. This is my first time owning within city limits so I am a little nervous but I couldn't be happier to have the...
