Well this happened yesterday but, we finished getting hardware mesh over the windows and opened up the big window we didn’t get cut out last fall before we moved them in. Lots of air flow now!! And started to remove the plastic off the run. I also rehung their tire swing with chain and made...

You’re right, I didn’t list them in my pice list but I think I did mention that we had a friend mill all our wood. I can update my list with how many we used - once I ask my husband, he took care of that list lol His friend didn’t several 2x4 and 2x6. We were very lucky to not have to pay for...

I don’t remember no, we just got them from our local building supply. We are located in NS, Canada so it may not be the same available to you anyways.

Our first coop has these clear panels for the roof. The coop is now 4 years old, has been moved from our old house to the new property and the panels are still in good shape. Our coop has never been in full sun so the girls don’t cook, but they are able to go under the coop if they need complete...

I recommend Fireball for best results 😉

Interesting, I have never had my girls do this before so I would never have thought that. I guess these new girls might be doing it! Sadly, all my problems started when these new girls came. Sigh. Thank you!

I will switch back to the previous feed, sadly I bought 4 bags of this stuff last time. So I need to go through it. I will spray everyone down with my Dr. Doom spray in the mean time though. Thank you.

Hi @nuthatched We get it at Peavy Mart. I was using feed from Shur-Gain but switched to this recently... However, I think the problem was noticed on the other birds prior to this feed being started but <i can't remember for certain. Crude Protein (min) 16.0% Phosphorus (act) 0.7% Crude Fat...

Pictured below is my rooster Steven. He is an 8-month-old barnyard mix. He was a shiny smooth handsome bird. In the past 1-2 weeks I noticed he had missing feathers on his neck behind his wattles. I thought maybe it was from his wattles dipping into one of their snacks and then sticking to his...

Today I am giving the flock the spoils of my trip to the grocery store yesterday! I asked the produce manager if our local grocery store what they do with the scraps they don’t sell… they put them on a rack outside for anyone to take! There was nothing wrong with any of my finds. So the flock is...
