    Nice coop and run! :) It sounds like you have put a bunch of thought into them. 2 small concerns - first, make sure the hay stays dry (don't know if their water will be in the henhouse with them or not) because if it gets wet it can grow a mold that is toxic to them and second, it is my...

    Pekin Duck Club!

    Regarding the deep litter method - my understanding of it is that it is really a method meant for an area with a dirt floor so that composting goes on. Otherwise, it might not be so sanitary. So,if you have a cement floor, there wouldn't be anything beneficial, necessarily, to do the work of...

    Does this look like gout?

    I have a roo that has feet that look just like that. They seem to be even more swollen on hotter days - so today they looked very swollen. I took him to the vet a couple of months ago but didn't get any help there. The vet thought maybe it was caused by trauma from jumping down off the roost...

    Comment by 'Green Lantern' in article 'Chicken Coop/Garden Shed with living roof'

    This is a beautiful design! How high is the run area? I am going to put another one in but don't want to go as high as my walk-in one, but I still want to be able to clean it out periodically. Love the living roof. I want to put that on top of my lower run that I am building so I can harvest the...

    What snacks DON'T or chickens like???

    Beans that humans eat should be cooked for the same reasons listed above. Red kidney beans are supposedly the worst offenders....

    Looks like a very pretty peice of land! Enjoy! By the way if you are thinking of getting goats there is a great website that you might want to check out at www.fiascofarm.com - lots of great info for you on there in case you are new to goats.

    A word of caution about putting the animals of different species together - first, drakes will try to mate with just about anything in my experience. This can be dangerous (downright lethal) if they choose to mate with your hens. Really, it can kill a hen. Second, goats should not have access to...

    freezing eggs???

    If you use fresh eggs they are harder to peel when hardboiled. The older eggs (as long as they are still good) make much better hard boiled eggs.
