    DE and Hemp in coop

    My husband is a leading hemp scientist (at a university) and... hemp hurd does not have any anti insect properties. Any insect repellent features of hemp are found in terpenes and other biochemicals found elsewhere in the plant - not the middle of the stem.

    smooth coop wall material?

    We're in process of making an open air coop under a large metal roofed area (we're in south central Texas). The enclosed coop area, in the middle of the roofed area, will have a concrete floor with the walls (with many doors to open/close as the weather demands)... I would like to avoid the...

    keep rain out of feeder in pen

    We just moved and have a new little chicken tractor with a small pen (larger pen in the works). At my old house, I had a kids picnic table over the top of my metal feeder that was placed against the outside of the coop wall. (this worked great by the way) Little house has no such option or...

    ISO Easy mobile day tractor

    My 8 hens have a nice permanent coop with a big pen. But, we'd like for them to be able to go out into the bigger yard during the day. I need a design that can meet up with the pen so I can shoo the hens into the tractor easily and then be easy enough to move through the yard to get them into...

    Coop Decor

    I don't know about a stencil. This lady is big! But, you can take the redwork image and do the same thing that I did. Really wasn't that hard, I think it took me 4 hours to paint her. It's just nice to be able to share a bit of fun that was my own idea and that I didn't copy from someone else!

    Coop Decor

    I just finished adding a design to the outside wall of my coop! My husband (finally) finished the coop and it was freshly painted... I used a redwork embroidery image I found on Pinterest, inverted the colors and then my husband used a projector to put the image on the side of the coop after...

    Vikron Tablet use for deep coop clean

    Has anyone used this? I know Oxine is the cleaner of choice but it's out of stock nearly everywhere and not long term shelf stable (from what I've read) and I really don't need that much. The Vikron S comes in tablet form, sold on Amazon and likely my local feed store, so seems better for the...

    Chicken safe plants for mostly shade?

    It depends on where you live. Here in south central Texas, the yaupon and scrub oaks were naturally in our large "day spa" run area... And the chickens never eat them. In fact, my husband has to go a couple of times each summer and trim the yaupon back to keep it from getting too big and...

    Texas BYC Cafe

    I'm looking for a reliable source of pullets in the Austin/College Station area. Anyone know of a person that raises up babies and then sells them? My mom in Kansas has a Mennonite lady who does it but that is a long drive for 15 hens. Thanks!

    Driving pullets through the midwest in August in the back of a truck - dumb idea?

    The heat claimed another one of my chickens (I think - she was dead and not sure what caused it but its blasted hot in Texas so...) and I'm to the point that I need more girls. My mom in Kansas has a lady nearby who raises babies and sells the pullets for $10 each. (David and Elsie Keim, 620...

    which chicken feeder?

    I currently have 5 chickens (after the great dog disaster this spring) but plan on getting more babies this fall. It's an open air 3 walled coop as I'm in Texas and it a tad warm most of the time. I have a feeder on a brick on the floor of my coop but was wanting to get something improved...

    Organic Feed

    http://coyotecreekfarm.org Luckily for me, they ARE local... and I only have to go a few miles to my feed store to buy it and can visit the facility in not too much longer than that. They have retail locations in OK, so it might be worth asking if your feed store in Kansas can carry it...
