Very Ingenious!!! Kudos to You! Even tho some may have to "tweak" your plan here, it is a wonderful idea. That brain of yours is priceless.

OK... Lesson to be learned here. We now live in a time of awareness...toxins, etc. Heed warnings given & do your research BEFORE you use chemicals, even though others say that they have used the chemical (even successfully). Research means MORE than just reading the product label! Like stated...

There is a place for homemade feeders and waterers ...it is on the "How To" Page.

welcome to you Keene..I used the styro insulation & then covered it with the clear plastic...do not under estimate your birds.... mine saw bugs crawling under the plastic & pecked thru!

OK, For those of you "in the know"... I think I want to sell my eggs @ the Farmer Market, so tell me about requirements: costs/ permits/ etc. I only have the 10 girls, so it isn't a big production, anyone have experience & knowlegde regarding this? I live in Columbia Co. if that has any...

About 5 out of my 11 girls have started laying now...I have opened up 2 nesting boxes for them, as they were lining up to use the 1 box & someone decided to just let one go on the floor! Crazy girls! lol. They seem to have a lot more to say to each other these days, too...brawwwk (I layed my...

I say food stores...not good practice. Non-food stores, if the dog is under control & non threatening to others...ok. That's my thought.

That 'only chick-child' will be so well taken care of...good luck & enjoy! (by the way...love your name-flyingbtheseetofmypants-but does this refer to the chickens or life in general? lol)
