    Heat Pad Reccomendations?

    Hi, I have three quail all younger than four days old, and I'm looking for a heat source for them that looks something like the pictures I included but cheaper. I'm on a low budget and can't afford much.

    New kiddie coop for cheap

    I bought several chicks hoping to stick them in with my sweet, broody hens. Did not go well, but I managed to save all 9. I had to do my best to construct a hack job version of a brooder on the fly. My plan was to upgrade through out the week but I lost my job the next day, as well as the means...

    To Roof the Run or Not

    Newbie chicken girl here. I have 15 chicks that will be moving to their outdoor home in 4 weeks or so. I currently have converted a side of the barn into the coop. My original plan was to build an attached run with a corrugated metal roof. Now, when I break down the cost, it seems that I could...

It was left on a property by the previous owner and I think it was going to...

    4 Hen Coop and Run on a Budget

    I'm determined to have 4 laying hens by spring 2018 (I'm planning on buying pullets after our last frost). My husband thinks it is more economical to buy a pre-fab rather than make one. I've read how disappointed most folks are with the budget-friendly prefabs, so I'm curious: Is it possible to...
