I'm trying to figure out if I can find wheat middlings locally since shipping and handling isn't cheap now days . I need it for mealworm substrate. Does anybody know of anything in stores I might find . Wheat middling is best to use so I won't have a problem with grain mites again .

A broody hen will sit in the nest box and not leave it . She'll puff up her feathers and make screeching and growling noises at you . One of my buff Orpingtons goes broody constantly , she'll do everything but peck me . My buff will also puff up and growl at her sister hens too. Did you...

I have dog-eared pressure treated fence boards left over from building a 6 ft fence and I was thinking about using them to build my chicken coop. Would that be safe for us and the chickens?

Our 2 day old B'ebe's ... 3 Black Australorps and 3 Rhode Island Reds .. We're new to raising chickens and are having fun watching them already. I love it when one gets something out of their feed and everybody starts chasing her , so funny.
