    This is very interesting. Any chance you could post pictures of inside the bin for each stage of life?

    Mealworms farming

    Hi LMW's, I just received 5000 from Rainbow. Couldn't be happier. I'm using my garage and it's a bit cold so I have a heat lamp that I have pointed towards a 30 gal tank and a 3 drawer set-up. I'm able to get the temp up to 80 degrees. Do you think this is ok? Should I be concerned about the...

    I purchased a box of bran cereal at Walmart today for feed / bedding mealworms. Is this ok? It's not frosted nor does it contain any fruit. Can't seem to find anything but cereal bran around here.

    A day in the life of a chicken!?

    So I'm baffled. I've bought the books, read the forum and still can't put my head around what it's going to be like when I finally get some chickens. Perhaps someone could shine a light? I'm going to build a coop, have a run connected to it and also have a big yard that I plan on letting them...

    Balding on back just above rear

    Thanks again everyone for taking the time. I was able to contact the store and found out that the birds in the pic are NOT for sale. They are breeder hens and that's where I left it. So now I have 3 months to learn all about coops and chickens before we move into our new home. Keeping my eye out...

    Balding on back just above rear

    Thank you for the reply. I think I'll call the shop and ask the question because these were all caged hens, there was one very old rooster with one bad leg that ran (hobbled) free... I'm pretty sure these were all for sale so I find it strange that they would have them there just for laying...

    Balding on back just above rear

    I went to my local farm & feed and was looking over their stock of chickens because I'm going to be purchasing my first few very soon. I came across this balding on many of their older chickens. No help was available at the store so I wanted to ask here. Is it just that they are too young and...
