    If you have a really bad Roo......

    Why not see if there is a local butcher who can dispatch and gut the roo for you, possibly for a fee. I've heard of people doing that with rabbits and goats, so why not chickens. This could save you the anguish of doing it yourself or not having to dump him somewhere to suffer

    Question about brooder heating

    thanks...I have plenty of ceramic core clamp lamps, and was gonna kind of use a fishtank screen lid (have lots of extras of these too) to place it on. That way there is something larger than the lamb separating it from the chick

    Cant decide how to get my new chicks

    Maybe you can try to get into contact with other people that have or are interested in chickens and see if they want to split on an order with you. It might benefit you even more, as shipping cost can be split between you and other person/people.

    Question about brooder heating

    When it comes to heating the brooder, I've noticed that a lot of instructions say to use a heat lamp or regular light bub. I was wondering if there has to be light, or if I can use one of the many Ceramic Heat Emitters I have. Here is an image and description of the item I'm talking about...

    Old dog run, will it work?

    Quote: Quote: Now do you think I should treat this like the deep litter method, stirring it every few days and cleaning out once or twice a year? Or treat it like a cat litter box and scoop the poop?

    Old dog run, will it work?

    Ok, so I've been working on clearing the bramble in the yard, and discover an somewhat small dog run. The dimensions are approximately 10ft x 10ft x 4ft and on a concrete slab. The concrete slab extends a foot or two beyond the edge of the run, but is also the flooring through out the inside...

    Hi fellow Long Islander! Be careful, I hear it's illegal to have roosters in Shirley. wink LoL, thus why he'll have the unfortunate fate of being an early dinner

    Just introducing myself, my name is Beth and I had recently bought a house with my fiance, Tom. A nice place with quite a bit of land that we get to play with. We're sharing our home with our two dogs (Tetsu and Tikaani), two cats (Safyre and Torch) and quite a few geckos (bout 40 of them)...
