Hi Babygyrl, was just thinking about PM'ing you - are you going to make Chickenstock?

I have been SOOOO busy this week!  I'm going to re-read and respond properly tonight.

My mom just called and said she went to check on her chicks and every last silkie had been killed and eaten or half eaten!  She had 10 that are the same ages as mine.  She's so ******!  Her coop is like frickin' Fort Knox too.  She's killed so many coons lately and she really thought she had everything coon-proof.  Anyway, she's devastated and I was wondering if anyone coming to CS is bringing silkies that they are just giving away?  If not it's okay, I'm not going to replace her flock myself by buying them but if anyone has a surplus and just wants good homes I'd take some back for her.  You can bet there won't be a coon alive for a 5 mile radius by the time she's done!  She'll camp out all night for a week.  Lol

awwww, she is a coyoote slayer!!!!!

Yes, see you Saturday!!!!!!!!

For sale is a very nice handmade chicken coop. It measures 6x6 . It has 8 built in laying boxes with doors on the sides to open and collect eggs or clean. It has a door in front to go in and clean and a back door for birds to go in and out of with a latch to lock them up at night. The roof is covered with metal to avoid collapse. You can even stand up in this one!

This is handmade and has never been used. As with any of our coops it's VERY heavy. You won't find anything this nice in any farm supply store because all of those are thin and flimsy. You have to see it to appreciate it! 


 

Asking $450.

Call 517-663-8035 anytime and ask for Keyt (Kate)

 I happen to have seen this one when he was building it. It IS a very nice coop and well worth what they are asking for it.

Keyt, with a 6x6 coop, you probably don't need 8 nest boxes.  Why not stick to 4 and lower the price a bit?

A friend of mine is looking to add 4-6 hens to her flock, so I get to shop for her at Chickenstock since she can't make it.  If anyone has non-babies let me know and I'll look for you at CS.  :)

 

Also- Anyone have any good Kid-Friendly tent-camping site recommendations in Michigan?  

we like camping at St, parks, although they are getting pricy. My older kids also like being on Lk Mi. so that is were we head..... Nordhouse dunes (not sure I spelled it right) is just down from Orchard beach St. park I think it is a nat. rec. area, considered rustic but has flush toilets in 2 or the rings. short walk to Lk.Mi. the grand kids love it. I think it is $16 a night could be wrong on that cause we get the Sr.s rate which is much less.

Boy, over 2000 post since I checked this tread last!!!!! I am not going to bother reading them all! Nova!!! Can you do a recap for me? Pretty please with cherry on top?
Loads of things have been happening here at my little Golden Willow Farm.
I have been picking strawberries at Krupp Farms for 3 weeks now. Its my 7th season to work at that farm, we will be picking the last strawberries on this weekend, then switch to Raspberries. The owner is a great boss to work with!
Been milking Bella, and making butter! The raw milk is very good!
Bunch of other things too, but will post them tonight when I get back from work. I am dreading to go to work for its too hot. Hate the heat!
Catch you guys later!

What type of worms?  Do you have to worm the whole flock?  

Keyt -  I really hope there is more ventilation than I can see on Eric's coops.  In weather like this the ventilation is so so important.  Also in the Winter the ventilation will prevent respiratory problems by allowing moisture and ammonia to escape.

I assume there is ventilation under the eaves but the photos don't show that.
