I am getting ready to build my new coop (once I finish building my house :p) and i have been researching brooder ideas because I hate the idea of the heat lamp. so thank you. I love the idea of the heat plate.

looking like i need to check my game cameras i have not done so in over a month but i use them mostly for scouting but i always seam to have a insane amount of coyotes, fox and bear pictures on them.

how ever you go about catching it just remember with a fisher you should ALWAYS put your safety first. they can do quite the number on you. Growing up in Vermont they were around our house all the time. we lost our German Shepard to the injuries he sustained from a fisher. The dog loved to try...

go buy some rounds for that .22 you have then sit and wait.

if you have no vents you should really add a few.

WooHoo!!!!! chicken people!!!!!! welcome to BYC

welcome to byc!!!

welcome to byc. your chicken who's feathers look more worn out has not molted as recently as the other bird more likely then not. Just to be sure you should check it for feather mites but if the birds have been together they both would have them at this point. What kind they are you would need...

there was a thread going on not too long ago about using minnow traps to catch snakes.

if a coon opens your garage door that's your own fault they come with locks for a reason. the first coon i see that can break a dead bolt on a garage door, i'm not even going to try to shoot it it can have my house'

smart bird

staple hardware cloth on the inside of the window blocking the ledge for them to perch on.

not knowing much about the Brahams. but love there looks, are the are they naturally broody like buff opingtons

looks like it is coming along great would love to make one like it one day.

love how simple it is when you build your permanent coop it would make a great broody/chick pen.
