Can you not post pictures on an iPad? I just downloaded the Ap and still don't see a way. Searching "download picture" didn't enlighten me either. Nor could I delete this post. Sorry you had to read this
Hi, I never raised baby chicks. Here's the story - one of my 2 remaining silkies died last week. My one remaining silkie was broody so I bought her 2 chicks from the feed store and put them under her 2 nights ago. She accepted them instantly. Now I'm worried about the heat wave coming.

I once talked to Dr Thornberry myself (must have been 20 yrs ago) about my rabbits that I had at the time. He was very nice to speak to me personally. He must of been (or maybe he still is) a very good guy.
I'm thinking of building a large wicking bed (10 ft by 3 ft)., raising it up off the ground about 3 ft. Putting a cage over top (hardware cloth over utility panel). I want to grow quail habitat ( partridge pea, buckwheat, Timothy hay....) and put 10-12 quail on it. Of course I will have a...

Congrats on getting your hens! Most folks will tell you to keep new chickens in the coop a couple days so they know it's home and will go there every night.
As far as fencing goes, I've had 3 silkies for 2 years and they only require a 2 1/2 foot fence to keep them in. They could go over it...
I did not realize what I was getting into when I bought a house with an HOA, even though I signed the papers. You sign all kinds of papers before you know what's really going on, like a surgical procedure, you don't really know what's going to happen until it happens. And at that time I bought...
