Love how it all started out buying an incubator and hatching some eggs as a great family project! Beautiful Chicken Coop!

Will be trying this, too!

Just ordered some, will be disinfecting the chicken coop - and the previous owners had cattle in the barn, so will be cleaning the barn, too. Thank you so much for sharing!

Thank you! Just ordered some - got a used chicken coop from a farmer down the road - my chickens don't like it, they're camping out on my back deck and I was trying to figure out how to sanitize it and get it to smell better - thank you again for sharing. Can't wait to get them moved in to the...

Ordering Brahma hatching eggs......

Spring Cleaning! Hoping for warmer temps to thaw out the coop!

Moved her from the nesting box - since one decided to jump out and got cold before I found it. Moved them into the dog carrier, it's tall and she's a giant brahma. Gives her room, she has got her wings spread over them. Before I left for work she was calling them to the food dish. I'm so...

Anyone know what's wrong with my chick, it has something flesh looking attached to it's butt? Just hatched...

I finally got my memorial day french copper maran hatching eggs a few weeks ago from My pet chicken & they are hatching!

I was fermenting the food for my roos & juveniles to give them a change, supplement with sunflower hearts/seeds & oats for treats. Didn't think about their beaks - I don't want their beaks growing crazy from eating soft food all the time. My hubby wants me to feed them on the ground like his...

No eggs this time, looks like 3 Roo's.
