    I'm in Central Kansas. (Russell) I would like to purchase Pullets

    Hi! I am from Glen Elder but I do not have pullets for sale. Have you tried looking on the NexTec trading website. There are usually some on there if you aren't particular on the breeds. Good luck.

    HeChicken I am so sorry for the loss of your friend. Thanks for the reminder to live life to the fullest. I am very interested in the peck-o-matic feeders. Do they waste much feed with them. I feed pellets because mine waste so much. Still with pellets they are so wasteful. Could I get that...

    Hello everyone! I hope that this heat is not taking its toll on everyone and their flocks. I got my wonderful husband to help me put a 16 inch exhaust fan in my chicken house. I am hoping that with all of my other fans I can keep them alive. They all go find their shady spots during the day...

    Can I ask you to clarify on the "tornado" you saw?  If it didn't touch down, then by definition it wasn't a tornado, only a funnel cloud.  I don't mean to nit-pick here, but I think it's important that people know the difference.  I locked my chickens in last night as well, even though we...

    Danz I am so sorry for all of your losses. You need your luck to change real soon. The $$ loss has to hurt but I can not imagine the heart ache. Hugs. We were just on the western edge of the storms and only got a quick shower. I did see a rope tornado but thankfully it did not touch down. I...

    Stay safe today my feathered friends. It sounds like it could be a rough evening for everyone. Sorry about the sickness, death losses, and bad customers that seems to be going around. Things have been going pretty good for my girls. I am a bit worried about one of my broody nests though. Last...

    Sorry everyone I didn't notice that I linked the wrong one when I was looking this morning. Following is the correct link. I will go back and see if I can delete the previous post. Correct link to 6v Battery Tender 021-0127 Battery Tender Junior 6V 750mA Battery Charger...

    ADOR1 Automatic Coop Door?

    I have my turkey door since Rod released them. It is absolutely wonderful. I went with the rechargeable battery that Rid helped me find. It worked great at first but then I started having problems. After a few calls to Rod we thought that we had it fixed. Well, it started acting up again until...

    Thanks Danz. I wormed them the last of January so I think they should be good on that. I looked her over good last night but will check closer for mites. I never thought of that. Is Sevin dust okay for that or what does everyone prefer?

    Hello everyone! It sounds like everyone has unique wants and options for feed. I use medicated chick starter when I have chicks and layer pellets for the flock. If I don't use pellets they just waste so much of it. I think that there is a local feed mill that I could buy feed from but they do...

    I know what it is like living out in the middle of nowhere. I have to drive 45 miles to the nearest Orscheln's and 80 to TSC. We do what we have to do.

    I only charged $3 for my eggs previously too because my customers thought they were worth that at least. Even at that price it is hard to break even. Maybe I spoil my ladies with their full feeders but it is easier for me that way. They free range all day too so that helps. I just have more...

    Hello everyone! Whoever sent out the memo to my chickens that it was time to go broody can come get them. We were gone overnight and I thought that everyone should be just fine without me gathering eggs for 1 night. Well, they must have all decided to go broody. 7 of my 48 hens went broody on...

    Danz I don't think that I could be trusted if I started hatching. Lol. I don't do things on a small scale at all. Lol. When I first got chicks 4 years ago my dear husband agreed and gave his blessing for 5 chicks. So I brought home 8 and added 4 more the next week. It has multiplied from there...
