    Fuster Cluck 1

    I told my hubby, Mike, I wanted chickens. He said "no &%$@#! way". So the next day I tried again, adding that I only wanted 4 (the max amount our zoning allows) and he would be able to build me a coop. While he still wasn't crazy about the idea he was excited to have a building project so 4...

    Yes, another sand question. Sand gurus, please see picture!

    We've had mason sand on the floor of the run for about a week now and they don't seem to care one way or another but I love it! Its so easy to clean, keeps the smell down and looks great!

    I was so proud of our coop having a link in the design section (I know, not a huge feat) and then I accidentally deleted our blog, oops. Can someone please put it back for me, my hubby didn't even get a chance to see it there! So sorry to be a pain...

    Nipple waterer users!

    My waterer is attached to the outside of the hardwire cloth and then feeds through a hole cut through the wire which is why I'm hoping to do it just once more. I guess my safest bet is to wait until they're full grown. Thanks all!

    Nipple waterer users!

    My chickens are only 8 weeks old and have a PVC nipple waterer in their run. We just added sand to the run floor and now the waterer is too low to the ground for them to use. I would like to raise it up to the hight they will need when they are full grown, I figure they can just use their chick...

    Look what we did/are doing! UPDATE 8/26

    We have sand! I may have gone over board and ordered WAY too much, 2 tons when probably 1 ton would have done the trick, oops. Aw well, live and learn. We went with concrete sand. I was hoping to find what I keep seeing referred on here to as river sand but the 2 sand and gravel places I went to...

    Quote: I can't quite figure out what river sand is. No where around here has "river sand" or calls it that and I keep seeing it mentioned but I'm unsure as to how big the particles actually are . Does anyone know id river sand goes by a different name? ADDED: Just saw your pic Daze, thanks!

    Yes, another sand question. Sand gurus, please see picture!

    Sand is stressing me out! I just went to the local sand & gravel place and most of the sand seemed too fine to me. All I can picture is sand being tracked in the house and I think thats why Im leaning towards this kind (squeegee rock) but I'm worried it will be too big to be clean easily. Thoughts?
