    Idea's for keeping the water from freezing?

    If nothing else, a very quick and easy solution is a common heated dog water bowl. Every farm supply store and most hardware stores have them. There are better solutions, but that is the quickest and easiest.

    "weekend warrior" flock owners (with careers)

    I'm in the same boat with all of you. Only get to see my flock mornings, after dark and on weekends. To make things worse, my job requires frequent travel, so sometimes I'm gone for days. Sweet Pea doesn't mind checking on them and gathering eggs, but I have a large feeder and waterer so she...

    Winter Broody Hen and Raising Chicks

    Thank you Alaskan. Glad to hear it can be done. She covers the eggs very well so I'm not too worried about that. I'm gone during the day so I don't know if I'll be around, guess I'll just hope for the best. They have a pretty secure house (and an area where they can be separated from the...

    Winter Broody Hen and Raising Chicks

    I have a broody BO hen that is on day 11 of sitting on 10 eggs. It's dipping below 10 degrees most nights and spring is still very far off. Will she be able to keep them warm enough to survive when they hatch? Would love to hear what others have to say and hear any other advise/tips that you...

    Updated - Corid and Amprol (amprolium) Dosing

    Kathy, Is it ok to eat the eggs while using Corid or Amprol, or should they be discarded (similar to worming)? Thank you.

    Chickens won't go in coop at night!!!

    X3 on the light. I had the same problem with chickens staying in the run or even roosting on the ramp to the door. I have power in the coop so I used a cheap timer to turn on a 25 watt light about a half hour before dusk, and stay on about an hour and a half. Worked perfectly. The 25 watt...

    HYPOTHETICAL DISCUSSION: What to feed your chickens when we can't buy chicken feed anymore

    Sunflower seeds and mealworms are excellent ideas. This is something that almost anyone could grow, almost anywhere. Free-ranging might not be an option for many people and the fat content (sunflower seeds) and protein (mealworms) would supplement whatever vegetation you could scrape up to...

    Food elevated but will that keep the mice out???

    A feeder made of PVC pipe might work well for you. Do a google image search for "PVC chicken feeder" and you'll see tons of examples. Also lots of threads on this forum. You might even be able to mount the upper pipe on the outside and cut a hole for the feeder pipe to be accessed from the...

    HYPOTHETICAL DISCUSSION: What to feed your chickens when we can't buy chicken feed anymore

    Bee is right, what is eventually coming can only be prepared for with Grace. The question is, what kind of trials and tribulations will we have to endure before that end comes? Prophecy is very clear that bad times are coming and we don't know how many days/weeks/months/years we will have to...

    Good post. We're all here for the same reason - to learn from each other and fellowship with others who share our interests. I have learned tons on this site and I'm pretty sure even the "experts" on this site have learned things as well. Remember folks, we're all on the same team!!
