So I told my boyfriend, hey this is too heavy, can you make me a hole to fill it. Well we quickly found out it works with suction and making a hole is a bad thing. He is now trying to flex seal it back. If not, tractor supply here I come!!

Irresponsible neighbor rant! So I live on the outside of town, about 3 acres per house and most of us have chickens. Neighbor next to us moved in a year ago and decided he wanted chickens also, did no research, got chickens before getting an actual coop or shelter for them. Months later those chickens live under a tarp with a makeshift cage around it, i dont even think they are secured ever. This morning I wake up to their rooster in the trees right outside my window ( I dont own a rooster). I think they are roosting in my trees at night. At this point I'm not sure what to do? Call animal control? I've tried talking to them but they are completely irresponsible people who don't really care or follow through on projects. ( Pic of their chickens right outside my window this morning, their tarp house is about 2 acres away from this).

I bought this mummy with 7 chicks at a market and I’m wondering what breed she might be. She has a beard and cheek feathers. I’m hoping for East Egger or olive egger. She is medium sized.

I’ve been one to try everything when it comes to feeding my chickens but , by far this is the best. I purchased 2- I think they are 40 gal trash cans and ordered the feeders and waterers from TicToc and believe me they are the best by far. All I have to do is check eggs and throw scraps when we have them. I put apple Cider vinegar in the water to keep algae out and it’s also good for the chickens.  All I have to do is check it every four days to see if I need any more feeding or add water and bags of ice. I think my chickens are happy.

Quick question…we have hens that sleep in their coop but have the run of the backyard all day. For whatever reason, they will walk onto the cement back porch and p**p. We wash the patio off daily (most days) but it’s starting to smell like an outhouse when we walk out the back door. We used vinegar, powerwashed, and even sprayed with Odor Ban but I’m still getting an odor when I walk out. What can I do to fix my problem? Any suggestions would be appreciated TIA ~ Joan Photographic proof of the culprits being on the patio😉

Hello all! First time chicken owners and had some weird yokes this morning. It was a double yoke egg with these white dots on it. Anyone know what it is? Anything to be concerned about??
