    Does anyone feed their chickens spent grains from beer brewing?

    I know I'm a little late to respond to this post but- HELL YEA! We do some home brewing too and the girls absolutely LOVE the spent grains. I haven't really found too much they don't love though.

    Wichita Cabin Coop - Build Journal

    where are you located in STL? I'm relocating there and wondering some specifics on chicken laws. Considering U City, Tower Grove, and Princeton Heights areas. I've found a couple things in the news about chickens in Tower Grove, but not a ton of info.

    calling any one from missouri

    Thanks Southerlys. I currently have 8, really don't want to get rid of any. I actually wanted to get a couple more, maybe next year. I'm leaning towards Tower Grove because U City sounds like a big hassle to have chickens (which sucks, they really are super easy to take care of.) I have 4...

    calling any one from missouri

    I'm starting work March 17th in STL, hopefully I'll find a house sometime around mid April? Looking now. Seems like you have to buy a permit for almost anywhere, which kinda sucks (they seem expensive- $150+ inspections that are $75 each year? ) I've been spoiled here in Wichita you can have up...

    STL- St Louis Chicken People

    No one in St Louis on here? I'm looking in the Tower Grove area (which I've already found out is super chicken friendly,) University City, and possibly Maplewood/Richmond Heights. Looks like places I can afford are more towards the U City and Tower Grove parts. I'd be interested to know what the...

    STL- St Louis Chicken People

    Hey all, Long time reader, first time writer. I used this sight to get inspired for my coop and learn anything I needed to know! I have had chickens now for 2 full years, my chickens are actually leap year chicks! I currently live in Wichita, but I think I will be relocating to St Louis soon...

    Nipple vs. cup waterers and auto fill

    I wondered how well the cups worked. Seems like they would be a nice compromise between nipple vs jug waterer type. Do they ever get junk in them? How high do you guys set up the nipples/cups from the ground?

    Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

    found out about a week later they weren't the real thing, even though the Hatchery said they were Ameraucanas, they're actually "easter eggers" aka mutts! it's ok though, I think I'll try to get a real pure bred one, but the Easter Eggers will be find for just my backyard layers.

    Chicken wire

    yeah I had a price problem with Menard's, and the employee too. They had everything marked at 30% off or something of the sort, but they already took the 30% off the only price they advertised.... so when I got to the checkout I looked completely dumb b/c I thought I was getting the discount off...

    just found Kansas Poultry Swap and asked to join! I ordered 15 chicks last night, and I'll only be needing 5 or so, maybe some locals will want the others?

    Greetings from Wichita!

    I was checking out the Kansas thread last night and it looked like people hadn't really commented for a year or two? I'll try to find you guys on Facebook. I live in Riverside area, I have a pretty good 7 foot wide, at least 10 foot deep area in the backyard I'm not using, so this year I'm doing...

    Chicken wire

    oh awesome! I see you're also smack dab in the middle of the US! haha. yeah, I'd love to know where you get 50 feet for $30. and yes, my bad on the terminology, it is "hardware cloth." I just bought a roll from home depot because I figured it'd be easiest to buy supplies gradually.... I'm going...
