I love my roosters; they are the guardians of the girls and show them where to find their bugs/scraps/scratch, and the girls follow them around for protection. Each rooster has his own little harem; they generally get along with each other and they all roost together in the coops at night. They...

thanks for this idea; rat snakes live here and have not been pests, but when they are, I will be ready.....

I used some stall mats in areas that were mud pits in the rain; wait until the soil is dry then set the mats on top of the ground. Once or twice a year you will probably have to lift up the mats when the ground is wet and replace them on top of the dry ground because each time it rains and you...

we have 3 coops; my Partridge Silkie bantams were split evenly between two coops, but the guinea fowl in 1 coop were too bossy for them so I rehomed those silkies together with the other silkies; kept them all locked up together for a full week. They rehomed just fine and the Silkies are always...

depends on if you want a window for just ventilation or for direct sun. We built our coops attaching exetrior vents; several sizes at your Home Depot/Lowes over in the roofing section. These are eave vents that have a metal or plastic fixed openings and screen on the backside. Cut out a hole...

my partridge silkies I could not determine sex until they all fully feathered out and then still wasn't sure until one started crowing at about 12 weeks; out of 10 straight run bantams I managed to get just one roo which I am glad about. He feathered out larger and in more colors than the...

my husband just completed our 3 coops; we used plywood sheets everywhere we could: floor; walls; roof,; and we discussed what to do with the plywood floor. In one coop I put down heavy plastic stapled all around exterior edge. In short order the chickens scratched through it and shredded it...

I think it would be great to have a monthly contest; close it monthly when a certain number have entered; choose a winner monthly; if someone misses the cutoff, then they submit theirs in the next month's; the limit could be ten monthly; this way you have participation continuously

My first order from Ideal was perfect;I chose the delivery date; they confirmed it by e-mail; then I got a call asking me what colors I wanted for my guinea order; they were very prompt and exactly on my delivery date the post office called me at 6:30 a.m. and said they were there for pickup...
