    Waterer/Feeder for baby chicks/chickens??

    I like the feeder that connects to the mason jars, they are easy and they don't seem to poop too much in the food, but I got the same mason jar waterer, and the water has to be changed so often because food and shavings get in there it is really a pain. I have heard several people on heretalking...

    oatmeal, cooked or uncooked! But I also gave them free choice rough sand in a bowl so they could have some grit

    All right I took the chicken plunge and ordered chicks, now I am freaking out...

    I have been picking them up, in hopes they would like this in the future. Good to see though that at three weeks yours are anticipating goodies! Maybe I won't have to wait forever!

    Thank you! I did alot of research on breeds before I decided on the Australorp... Today they are more comfortable in the brooder and a little more flighty, but hopefully they will get used to me soon... I so want them to be tame!

    First time building. Advice on sloped terrain?

    yes, they are concrete pavers. No offense Jamband. They work well for us how they were laid, but I do agree that a full cinder block would be more structurally sound. Please take the above comment on drainage into consideration too, we did actually install drainage pipes around the back side...

    First time building. Advice on sloped terrain?

    we had the same problem, but not as dramatic as yours. We found free fill dirt on craigslist, and made multiple back breaking trips with a truck and trailer, then hauled it all into the area with our wheelbarrow, and regraded the area. Walking on it packed it down fairly well, and we put a...

    What do I do with all the chicken poo?

    Totally jealous of your compost bin... thank you for posting the pics and the info on how to manage. There's not an Orscheln's here in Indy, but there is a Tractor Supply store. They have a 20pound bag of DE for sale for $13, however, it doesn't state that it is food grade on the packaging even...

    What do I do with all the chicken poo?

    ok deep litter folks, where do you purchase your DE and in what quantities? It seems online costs a fortune to ship the 50 pound bag, but my local farm stores don't sell it in anything larger than a 5 pound carton. I live near Kansas City, MO. I have really been frustrated on trying to locate...
