    Producer’s Pride Brooder and Coop Heater

    Does anyone have any experience using these to brood chicks? I’ve been looking into getting one, but haven’t heard much about how they work. Also, can you brood chicks with them on the heater setting? My brooder won’t fit it laying flat so I would like to flip it on its side.

    Loose Poop

    Successful 100% forage diet experiment (long post)

    Would you even need to supplement in winter if they have access to forage from the larger livestock?

    Coop is coming to life! Please let me know what I’m missing!

    I just have pine shavings and straw in my run. My flock mostly stays under the coop where that is, and they enjoy scratching through it. For mite prevention, a good dust bathing area is supposed to help so they can keep clean. I used an old tire for this, although mine continually pass it up for...
