    Can anyone tell me about converting an old car into a coop?

    I LOVE that! I have never in my life seen a cotton trailer. Most people around here farm(ed) tobacco. I will have to ask my husband what his aunt and uncle used to haul it in. The farm we live on was a dairy farm until a few years ago. Now we just mainly do hay & lumber. We have several...

    Can anyone tell me about converting an old car into a coop?

    We were thinking of tearing out all the upholstery/carpet inside leaving bare metal & removing the windows & putting in wire in the place of the windows. We thought we'd open the door in the daytime and close them up at night. I doubt we get more than $50 for scrap because it would have to be...

    Can anyone tell me about converting an old car into a coop?

    We have an old Ford Taurus that we are thinking about converting into a coop. What should we know about converting an old car into a coop? I am a little concerned about it looking junky... but maybe that shouldn't be a big concern b/c we already have four chicken tractors in one of our...

    Customer said my hens eggs don't stick!

    We have noticed they don't stick like store-bought too I know the only difference is the eggs... same pan, same sized pat of butter, same amount of heat. The shells are harder to crack too.

    legal to sell buttons?

    There should be a phone number. I would call the phone number and ask... here it is the department for game birds. It isn't worth risking a ticket IMHO.

    legal to sell buttons?

    Your wildlife commission would know. In NC to have any kind of quail you must have a permit.

    Is this what I think it is?!?!?

    I have a EE roo that was successful in mating with my hens well before he started crowing. I have several of his babies:) He does crow now.

    bleeding toe on silkie chick update:self mutilation

    The brooder is inside and I have never seen mice in our house, nor do I think they could get in the brooder. We also have three cats that have access to everywhere but the room where the brooder is. Could it have pecked itself that hard??

    bleeding toe on silkie chick update:self mutilation

    I have a silkie chick that hatched early, so it is alone in the brooder at the moment. I have paper towels down with a few wood shavings on top & there is no wire bottom. I went down to check on it this morning & saw little reddish brown spots all over the paper towel. One of the toes is...

    Will free ranging guineas ...

    that are mostly full grown "look for home" if I were to purchase them & put them free-ranging on our farm? They were hatched at the beginning of August. Is there anything special I need to know about keeping them vs. my chickens/duck/quail? I am really wanting them as watch dogs (hawks...

    Selling my eggs... a couple of questions

    I was worried about how they would taste, but had read about how good they were for baking. Then, I cracked one & it looked all snotty & I was worried again:) But they make baked dishes terrific:) I am tempted to sell a 6 pack for $3 and see how they sell. I have seen them for $6/dozen at...
