Practical poultry guidance, homestead experience, and responsible bird keeping from real daily life at BS Feathered Acres

At BS Feathered Acres, our focus is on raising healthy, well-managed birds and sharing what we learn along the way. We believe good poultry keeping comes from observation, patience, and responsible care rather than shortcuts. Our goal is to help other keepers feel confident in caring for their flocks while maintaining strong, sustainable birds.

We share practical projects, daily lessons, and simple solutions from real life with our flock. This space documents what works, what doesn't, and what we continue learning while caring for and managing our birds responsibly.

This silkie pen has taken over a year to get to where it is now, through trial and error, as well as growth.

At this time, we only had 3 silkies and not much of a predator issue, so this worked for a while, until we expanded.

This was out idea of predator proofing last summer, and it was functional until this fall when we started having an influx of racoons, and we needed to add a roof and predator proof better

This is the front view before we added all the predator proofing

The final phases of our silkie pen

This is the inside view of the final product of our silkie pen. We have it split into two with one side being the paints, and blues, and the other side buff and whites. This is 100% predator proof!
