I bought it brand new. Still works perfectly. $400. Local pickup would be best. Shipping would require a crate.

I got home this morning from work & the early birds are making an appearance.

Raising, butchering, & processing isn't a new thing for me but all I ever did was excess DP or heritage breed roo processing & old layers. My wife had no experience but wanted to do this. I had my helper and excess roos ready. Everything was good up until gutting. Not wanting to have my...

Ive been shoving some leftover ceramic tiles around in the garage and had this idea. The bottom has a raised grid and sandpaper like surface texture. Perfect for little feet traction. Just flip them over in the brooder right on top of the shavings and place your waterer or feeder on top...

Well I got home this morning about 6am from work, eat, did some chores, chill, and then hit the sack for 3 or 4 hrs. Get up this afternoon and somebody's been playing in the Christmas decorations.

The door size was the problem but the quail don't mind. They love when I put the dust box in.

Everyone loves deviled eggs but for a quick easy ill just hardboiled eggs and buy a dill mustard. Cut them in half and squeeze some on top. Almost like a deviled egg. Great work snack thats self contained. I've always got a couple hardboiled eggs rolling around in my lunch box. Haha...

Our excess of roos had been in freezer camp which is just an oversized shed with an open side that is fenced (it was a temporary solution that is now doing freezer camp 2). We did the normal process everyone does to get to a clean plucked carcass. I love my bday present! Once chilled my...

I built it out of scrap lumber, various items on hand, and a plywood skid. Each level is approx 20" deep x 40" wide x 20-24" of head room. Just about perfect for two puppy pads for easy clean up. For now all I have is a light for heat but works well. It's hung from the ceiling and I adjust...

I'm looking for barbazieux birds. Let me know if you have any. Chicks, pullets, cockrels, or adults.

I've been looking for just a few hens that lay chocolate eggs to add to our mixed flock. Welsummer, Marans, Barnevelder, Penedesencas.

After looking into making my own incubator and liking the idea of using a plastic cooler then just breaking down and just bought a genesis 1588 incubator because of reviews and price but didn't like the idea of it being foam. I felt like it is an investment and would be worth protecting. So I...

These are the 10 ameraucanas I bought from Heirloom orps. It's never a pretty pic when they get shipped because of all the poo. :P Two didn't make it within the first day but they did send 2 extras. Unfortunate that over the next couple days I lost several others. I put them with my...

Hello all I ordered 10 ameraucanas from them this year. I will update with pics of the chicks when they come in. So far Jonathan has been very concerned with the weather to ensure my chicks are shipped alive so I'm still in the waiting room. Although eager to get some chicks, a shipping box...

A friend is having this problem and we can't figure it out. They were laying excellent. 8 hens and was 6-8 eggs a day. All hens are a 1 1/2 yrs old or less. Layer feed available 24-7 oyster shell available 24-7 No evidence of egg eating Hasn't seen any egg eating predators. A couple were...

Well I had started this in new member introductions so I had something more to say then "hey it's me and I have chickens" but I figure it's time to throw up a my coop thread. The beginning https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/795754/new-used-playhouse-chicken-coop The free playhouse was like...

I let my hens free range in the yard while we are outside. I do live in a rural area so predators are a constant concern but I was amazed a fox came after my flock yesterday afternoon in broad daylight. He singled out one of my black sex links named boss hog and chased her across the back...

I thought I would share that about 3 weeks ago one of my hens (which is taller and bigger than the rest) became intent on picking on my smallest RIR "snooki" aka "little girl" and she also was bullying several other hens. Some pecking is understandable but the offender would constantly chase...

A couple are lighter and look to be buff orpintons or maybe buff rocks but the darker ones look like a sagitta. Bought them at Orschelns farm store and the sign said "rainbow layers". Beaks are yellowish, legs are light yellow, single combs. The lighter one's are calm and will run right...

It started with just a small 5' x 5' x 8' timber framed play house which was free! Concreted the posts in the ground, some extra lumber I had laying around from when I have built other things, extra OSB and siding from my house, and some extras from Home Depot. Heck I didn't even buy the...
