I bought a shop vac today so will be starting project clean the coop asap

I want to brood my chicks that are en route outside with their mama heating pad after they are one or two weeks old. We just moved to this house with a coop already made. I'm cleaning it and spraying permethrin for mites. I bought 1/4" hardware cloth to put over the chicken wire to make it more...

Ek kannie Afrikaans skryf nie, maar ek praat nog a bitjie. The chick should be on chick starter for food, but the food you have is better than none!

There will be a lot of hand washing. It won't bother me as much since the coop isn't IN my house. What are your thoughts on these shoe protectors...

Oh goodness! Ok. I'm sort of a germaphobe, so I tend to go overboard. I will look for some permethrin spray. How long after that is spread should I wait to put bedding and chicks in there? Just until it is dry? Thank you so much for all of your help and insight. I will post pictures when we go...

Oh yikes! How do I treat for those mites? I am planning to scrub scrub scrub with dawn and vinegar, rinse super well, let dry, then spray bleach and let dry. What step can I add to kill possible mites??? Yuck ' I had pictures but I think I deleted them by accident

We are moving to a house with an existing coop where 4 hens live. The hens will move with the sellers, but I was wondering how I should disinfect the coop? The run is TINY, so I will have a nice big one built. The coop itself is very nice except for the chicken wire on the windows - going to...

I am so incredibly sorry for your losses. How devastating!!!!!!! Hugs to you

No not at All

I have no idea but holy heck what a cutie

All of these predator attacks are so sad! I can't imagine :( I don't even have my chicks yet and I'm already attached

Small world - we are moving to Davidson! We will have to get together after we move!! Thanks for the tips about the nesting box and McLeod!

I love your username - it would suit me too. My DH certainly thinks I am something like flocking nuts. Nope, no go on the fence. I am determined to try and find a supplier that grows their sod without all of that junk. Herbicies break down fairly quickly, it's the insecticides that are the huge...

Oh yes - they use so many different herbicides, pesticides and fertilizers that no grazing animal should consume the grass for at least a year (give the rain time to wash it away). I wish I could find a company that grew their grass for sod without all of that junk.

Thank you for your reply. I will plan to go bigger then! I might only be able to roof part of the run in that case, but at least they would have a covered area outside for rainy days.

Thank you so much for your reply. Do you like how the Ador1 closes up and down vs out? I would probably mount it inside the coop because of ease of access to the door from the coop vs the run. Have you ever experienced the Ador1 going wacky on you? Others have said in past threads that they...

Hi Everyone! I'm in Greensboro and we are moving to the Lake Norman area soon. Does anyone know of hatcheries where I can get chicks either near Greensboro or Charlotte? Also is there any local supplier of organic chicken feed?

Ohhhhhh a state thread? Wonnnnnderfulll!!!! Headed there now :)
