I'm pretty sure I got a good score today.
I found a guy who has some old poultry crates and steel nesting boxes.
I'm picking up 4 of the crates for $50 and two steel nesting boxes a 6 hole and 8 hole the pair for $100. They are all used but in great shape.
The crates are really cool and are this design

I have a question, my chickens have not layed a egg in 5 days. Their comb color is bright red, their feet look good and fully feather. their feathers look nice and shiny. I just can't figure out what is going on with them? Are they mad at me because they could not go run around the yard? I have not wormed them yet. They have been eating their oysters shell. I just dont get it. Ive checked for broken egg and i see no signs of any broke eggs. Any one know what it could be?

Possibly just taking a break and enjoying the nice weather?? I know I don't want to work when it's like this outside!!

Lol, that sounds good to me. They did work really hard this winter. It was their first year and we got bunches of eggs from them.

There is someone on Craigslist trying to sell one of those poultry crates for $75 so I'd say you got good deal! What will you use them for?
We scored our own deal yesterday. Went up to visit @ChickCrazed and on the way decided to see if a craigslist post for free fencing was still there. It had been there for 3 days so I figured it would be gone. Still there! 14 solid wood fence posts and about 80 feet of wire fencing. I am so eggscited! The lady was so happy it is being used for chickens and we will be one step further in getting a chicken yard divided from the garden and driveway.

Hello Hoosier BYCers

Anyone out there using " spent grain" from homebrewers??

.I have an opportunity to get with a home brewer and receive his " spent grains " my Q is....assuming it needs to be dried out before offering to chickens, how do you all dry them out? Thanks for your replies.....
