Quote: Well apparently your not up on the facts here. The issue Perry lake is haveing is due to all the flood waters bringing in all the fertilizers from all the feilds I know this because we spoke to a wildlife officer. So now is your chance to swim. I guess if you wanna wait for a bigger...

Quote: No problem at all. It was too hot anyway, even early in the morning. I'll let the stupid chickens kill each other before I kill myself. In the mean time, I put another fan in the chicken house aimed directly at the roost and I ordered some water nipples to streamline and more...

Quote: Sorry to hear you're sick Daren, I hope you are starting to feel better. I have to say I don't agree with the conservation officer's assessment, not that I am any expert in the field myself. The flooding that is affecting the local rivers is caused from rains and snow melt in the...

Well the god dam roosters took out one of my producing hens yesterday. I'm actually going to enjoy chopping these guys up.

Quote: What time Mike? Not sure yet. I need to rally some troops. The last one was a cluster... The roosters are ganging up on the laying hens and having their way with them. I've only got one egg in the last 3 days, it's time.

Murder Party this weekend at my place in Linwood. 15 roosters have to go. Who's in?

MERCY KILL... WARNING -- Graphic details follow! Well, my averages have been good so far, considering this is my first year with chickens. I watched one chicken die slowly at the hands of the other birds. I paid the price knowing he was suffering for several days as the others pecked him to...

Finally got the automatic chicken door done. Just hooked up to a lamp timer for now, but should work just fine. I used a power supply, relay, lamp timer, and a satellite dish aiming motor from eBay. I had everything but the motor, which cost me $40 shipped. It is pretty slow but is much...

Quote: I'm using 2" nylon netting I bought off eBay. I paid $35 for a 25' X 25' piece and zip-tied it to the fence. I also built a center support so I can get in the run. Word of warning, if you are wearing a ball cap, the netting will rip it right off. Here is a link to the item I bought...

Quote: Update on the blind chicken. Well, I thought he was doing okay, but I was wrong. Went to pick up eggs Sunday morning and there he was laying dead. My first casualty. I figured in a 10% loss rate and this makes it 2%, so I am not terribly disappointed, but disappointed none the less...

ELECTROCOOP update + questions I have a few things to share plus some questions about my birds. Please read on and add your comments. Captions are below the pictures. Please bear with me, some of this is off-topic. This is an entertainment center I am building. I wouldn't post it here but...
