    Check out Awesome New Feeder Design!!

    I drilled the holes with a two inch hole saw, but I considered drilling smaller holes. The flock I have are pretty good, but the bunch of girls I used to have, would have turned their noses up if the grain touched the floor. In that case, I would have used a narrow diameter hole saw- something...

    Check out Awesome New Feeder Design!!

    Cute. I should. It's pretty slick =) It's just the garbage can with the cover. You pull the cover off to add feed and when it's covered, the mice can't get in and the chickens can't poo on the food. At the bottom of the bin, I drilled holes with a two-inch hole saw. Just two. and then...

    Tragedy! What happened?

    Thank you. It is a faulty bulb that when you jostle it, it sometimes disconnects, only it worked fine yesterday and we went to bed without touching it. As an update, 9 of my (presumably) deceased 12 birds have perked up and I moved them into the other container. The other does, indeed, have a...

    Tragedy! What happened?

    I received my shipment of chicks from Ideal Poultry yesterday morning and set them up in two cages because the peanuts seemed to be fighting with the chicks I'd ordered. I wanted 8 cochin pullets and a jungle fowl. They sent 15 (I believe they are Silver Laced Wyandotte) chicks with for warmth...

    I, too, got my Ideal chicks today. Here's my order: And here is the packaging: I ordered cochins and an Indian red Jungle Fowl and got a bunch of Silver Laced Wyandottes? as filler.
