    10 chickens equals 1 dog

    Hi folks - heard Joel Salatin at MEN Fair in Somerset last Sept and he said that 10 chickens equals the footprint/waste of 1 dog. I can't find this statement and/or "proof" after several google searches. Anyone know where I might find this info? Or anyone have a video of the part of Joel's...

    Emergency of a different kind - flypaper and chicken feathers....

    So it seems my girls are now big enough for their backs to hit the fly paper when they roost for the night and I'm guessing you all know what's coming next... I got the flypaper untangled mostly painlessly from my Australorp but now she is COVERED in the sticky flypaper goo. I need to take...

    Coop color and egg production

    Using a seedling heat mat to brood chicks (?)

    This is the earliest I've ever had chicks in Southeren NJ (coming next week) and I am worried about getting my brooding space to a high enough temp given how cold its been here (low 30s/high 20s). I am using a kiddie pool on a slate floor in an enclosed porch so the temp inside the porch is...

    Internal laying/egg binding question

    Sorry - I've read all the posts but still have questions. First - are these the same thing? It's almost 100 degrees here in NJ today - still a good idea to bring a chicken into an air conditioned space and give her a warm bath and then back out into the heat/humidity? Think that would stress...
