    Turkeys, Goats, Donkey...Flock Guardians?

    Personally, I wouldn't mix turkey with my chickens My black Spanish tom just killed one of my brahma. Literally held her down, pulled her eyes out, and peeled all the skin off of her face/neck. She was still alive when my husband found her and we had to cull her and separate the turkey.

    Ventilation Adjustment Question

I do however live on top of a mountain so our winds get pretty strong. I have the closed off side of the coop facing the direction most of the...

    Ventilation Adjustment Question

    sounds sensible. Another fun weekend project for the husband lol. I see what you mean, I try to get out in the morning before the auto-door opens and then I swing open the big door and they fly down from there straight out into the run, but I know if I was a bird, I would totally injure myself...

    Ventilation Adjustment Question

    Hi everyone - so I am trying to figure out ventilation. I know I don't have enough. But I am running into an issue. I know we don't want to create drafts that are going to chill the birds. Mine live in a big wooden tuff shed with a vaulted ceiling. Aside from bedtime and laying - they spend...

    Impacted/sour crop in 1.5 week old chick?

    Yay that's awesome! Thanks for the update. I have a cat who I saved from a dead litter at a church. She was labeled as failing to thrive and never got very big. She's about the size of a 4 month old kitten now and that's as big as she ever got. I wonder if your little one will stay petite...

    Drakes Killing Eachother

    Speaking from my limited experience... you need at least 4 girls to each male. They don't care if they are old friends and grew up together. We have 5 drakes and 20 females and there are still arguments over mating rights from time to time. I think the safest bet is to separate them from the...
