Coop Tender has the WiFi option.

hi has anyone made some type of electric feeder? I would be interested to see any designs and hear about them. Everything else in my coop is automated for the most part except the feed.

Could somebody please help me out and give some details on the deep litter method I'm not quite sure how it works

Where is the best place to get bantams from. I love the Japanese ones and the sebrights and just all of them really.

Would defiantly be interested in some Japanese bantam hatching eggs. My favorites are the yellow ones. But may be interested in any

Thanks! I'll keep working on her. I had some beautiful Japanese bantams when I was younger I miss them they were sooo pretty

I've recently gotten married and moved out to my own house. But now my wife has just informed me that I can't have any chickens! She said she doesn't eat eggs so we don't need any. All I wanted was two or three in a small coop and run in the back yard. Just hens so no rooster crowing or anything...

Love this idea. How hard are they to clean? Any ideas on feeders and such for this type?

I was thinking three to four. Five at the most

I'm wanting to build something small for just a few chickens to put in my backyard at my new home. Would love some ideas. I would like to have it with the coop and run all made into one structure if that makes any sense. Need to incorporate a couple nesting boxes too. Don't need a bunch cause...

Any thought for homemade feed mixtures, or recipes or any ideas please.

I use to feed them layena and then switched to hog topper because it was cheaper and the protein was higher. Is that still the case the higher the protein the better? Sorry for asking dumb questions but I've been out of the loop for a couple years now

I've tried all types of different feeds and things for the hens and have been out of the chicken business and haven't been on this site in a year or more but I'm back lol and trying to get my flock back up again now that I have money and spare time. Right now they still eating cheap scratch feed...

im very interested to se some pics of this old west town hopefully you will have some soon

Quote: you have to be extremely careful with putting a tarp over the run u should make sure you cut a hole in it for drainage if not the weight of the water on it will sag it in the middle thus pulling down the sides of your run. learned this the hard way lol
