    What is your latest prepping project?

    Duck eggs can become many and snow is slick. From my experience I build in coop storage "boxes" to store eggs so that they don't freeze (yuck) and for the ability to have them all in one place when i am ready to collect them. Then if i see an egg I can move it. For my purposes I need the...

    What is your latest prepping project?

    I suggest some quails. They go from hatch to egg production in 7 weeks. I have been prepping for breeding some chickens this winter. While i do not live in a very blizzard prone environment here in kansas, i keep my birds away from where i live and it does get very cold. We have a range from...

    What a bummer danz. I'm wondering now if my guineas that decided to sleep on top of the coop last night survived the owl that is constantly hooting back there.

    The best thing you can do is Not to panic. Its specific to the worm how they kill the chickens and it is not a fun read about how. They will act lethargic for a few days while they recover. The damage isn't already done, they can spring back out of it. I have a chicken that I call the...

    Happy Belated Danz! I spared everyone here my winter panic yesterday! I was going to post about how my native Kansan intuition was screaming that winter is coming! I am ok for winter, the birds will survive, but that is not my plan. My plan is to build at least 7 pens and runs before...

    Indoor plumbing?

    If you build a cabinet for the plumbing with a lightbulb inside it will generate enough warmth to keep it thawed (depending on the lightbulb depending on the power staying on) If you wanted to get snazzy you get the on demand propane camp shower and plumb it into the faucet to have hot water...

    I really was amazed by your work Danz. Love the ideas and will have to come back for a work day to help sometime! You definitely deserve a break even if it's unwanted. I will absolutely return the favor on the breeders when i find another line and build some pens. Can you add eggs into a flock...

    I did build one and I have some kind of sickness because I continue to think of building more. My first hatch went ok but humidity wasn't easy. I have now completely waterproofed the wood and it's time for a new test because I got 10 eggs from ChickenDanz. This time around i'm going to build a...

    I wanted to say that I went to Waverly and traded with Danz for some chooks. She is such a nice person and I was overloaded with all of the cool birds lol. I decided this year to start breeding some Lavender Orpingtons and the roosters that I got from Danz are going to have me off to an amazing...

    Some things that grow really well for me are, edamame soybeans, cucumbers, tomatoes, summer squash, sweet potatoes, regular potatoes, carrots, dill, mint (cant get mint to stop) You will find that you can grow almost anything in Kansas if you can take the heat. Broccoli still eludes me but...

    Welcome! I got several of those breeds from heartland hatchery at local chick days. The way i find the chick days has always been by checking craigslist. For example: next saturday http://kansascity.craigslist.org/grd/5123447619.html That said it seems that we have a lot of good breeders even...
