I have received some Jicama seeds (Pachyrhizus erosus) and thought they would be beautiful for shading the girls coop. My research shows the leaves, flowers and pods are poisonous to humans, but I have not been able to determine if they are for chick
Bryan and I going to add some new baby chicks to our flock this spring- we like to order them from mypetchicken.com, because you can get them vaccinated for marek's disease- something our avian vet advised. But we need to have a minimum order of 1
I have a soft spot for silkies! I'd like three or four pullets or young hens but I can't seem to find any! I'm in Scottsdale but clearly I will have to travel.
I have a few too many birds at the moment (way more than expected hatched from my batch of Trader Joes eggs) and I'm looking to rehome three of them. They're white leghorns, hatched almost exactly a year ago (on Halloween), and are really good layers

Hello - I've been doing bunches of research on raising Cortunix quail for egg production. I haven't decided if I'm jumping in as I want to make a well thought out and informed decision. A few questions remain.1. If my covered cage will be outside awa
I have had chickens for 4 years now (nope, not getting so many eggs anymore but that's the way it goes). I used to have such a lovely rose garden in the back yard and used commercial fertilizers. With the chickens I moved to compost tea and added com
I have WAY to many egg cartons that people have been giving me since I've had my ladies. I'd like to give them away or trade for... whatever. Doesn't matter to me. I'd just like these to get some good use. I'd say I have about 150 or 200 to spare.
My 3 hens are no longer laying. They have had a fine life, a nice sized coop, organic feed, plenty of pre-composted fruit & veggie bits from our gardens, yard time every day to run around, misters & fans in the summer. They are about 4.5 years old, h
I am at a loss right now and am hoping your collective wisdom can help. I have an apparently sick hen. She is about 4-5 years old. In the last 48 hours she has stopped eating. The first day she spent the entire day just sitting on

One of my chickens caught a small snake (about 10" long) yesterday and ran off with it. She was chased by the others so ended up dropping it and it escaped into the grass. I just wondered if she would have killed it and or eaten it?
I just found my three ladies dust bathing in an area that the cats use as their litter box. I shooed them away and was going to put chicken wire over the area to prevent the chickens from dust bathing in there again but I'm not sure of all the other
