I've been thinking about this very issue. My problem is all the sparrows. I'm doing away with the feeder and started feeding my girls twice a day by throwing the feed and treats directly in the run. My reasoning is that they will turn the litter better and give them an activity. Also, by...

Thanks. I am gonna give it a shot. I gotta make it look cute for DW, and I've grown tired of my truck topper coop, mainly because it's an eye-sore and because it's harder to clean than it could be. I'm doing away with the galvanized feed bin also. I can't afford to feed the hordes of...

Looks like a good set up. What would you change if you had to rebuild it?

I don't have pics, but imagine a box with shed roof suspended on four sunken posts. Hardware cloth skirt. So the coop will be above the run. Ordinary to this point, but this coop will not have a floor, just roosts and a divided nest box. The run will be the new compost bin. All the leaves...

The problem with laws are that good people don't need them and bad people don't follow them anyway. Gun codes and ethics have served me just fine because it's based on common courtesy and safety. I know it doesn't work for everyone all the time, but I'm mostly happy with the gun laws in my...

Some people think that work is bad for kids. Farming is a life style that gives kids a good taste of the virtues of hard work. The farm kids I grew up with had skill sets that would put politicians to shame. People who work hard physically have very little time for the long list of mental...

I'd dump it on the bedded garden and let the chickens do what they will. Either way it would end up in the garden.

Well, one thing is for sure, twenty bucks aint what it used to be. I did notice that nobody who replied is paying more, but considering how far this town is from anywhere, I've learned to accept the extra cost of products because of shipping. The cost of feeding my 6-hen flock is about the...

My cost on the last trip to the feed store was just under $20 before tax. Just wandering what folks are paying in different areas.

Pet rocks? My most prized possessions are rocks. My favorites are fossils, rare salts and meteorites. I have two rocket boxes full of carefully wrapped stones from around the world. Rocks are the story tellers of the universe. I don't have any rocks with paint on them, but I have a couple...

Quote: I'll attest to this. Colloidial Silver wipes out pink eye over night with a single dose. I've seen it happen more than twice and never seen it fail for this.

I hear it's perfect and wise to use it. It surely couldn't be to awfully bad anyways unless it's moldy.

I built one of those Christmas cookie tin heaters I learned about on BYC forum. (search function ) It has a 25 watt bulb inside and is connected by a 50 ft extension cord. My water froze once last winter when the mercury dropped below 0 deg F. Otherwise, I had to replace the bulb once. I...

I got a new toilet plunger.....and a two-car garage.

Congratulations! Your success in quitting smoking could become the template for many other future successes for you! I stopped cold turkey before my daughter was born just over two years ago. At $6.50 a pack, I've saved $5401.50 and didn't smoke 16,620 cigarettes. I'd smoked about a...

You might check Amazon.com for Solar Christmas lights.

You could probably get away with using LED battery powered lights or buy a dozen or so of those cheap solar yard lights and rig them to work.

Some of us aren't so perfect, but somehow we all have our talents. Sounds like his energy is "nervous" energy. Nervous energy will most likely be the energy of greatness in some way. He may be an artist, writer, magician, or possibly a poet or something. You just got to let it unfold as it...

Why not? It's mostly flour anyway.
