    I love Behrens cans! 🦝

    This is the first year we've had cameras and I don't know if I like knowing about every critter that roams into the yard. Ignorance was bliss!

    I love Behrens cans! 🦝

    This murderer in training visited last night. 😭 The lights did not scare it a bit.

    This little guy spent a long time trying to get a snack to no avail.

    Looking for new waterer that doesn't get algae and easy to clean

    I switched to a black container with nipple waterers and never had algae again. You want something that will not let light in. Algae can't grow without light.

    How do you help customers understand unwashed eggs?

    Too true! I think what I'm running into is that people just don't know ANYTHING about eggs and I don't want to be the sole person to teach them. 😂

    How do you help customers understand unwashed eggs?

    I sell my eggs unwashed and refrigerated. People are very curious and often mention misinformation (brown eggs are healthier). More often though they are new to unwashed eggs. While I know what works for my family and my household routines, I do not want to pretend there is ONE TRUE WAY TO EGG...

    Looking for Passover feed recipe for Layers

    When I wasn't able to get feed during the pandemic, I used a human tracker (maybe my fitness pal? Lol) and changed my recipe until the macros looked similar to the bagged food. I do not have a specific recipe though. :( But again, I feel like you are doing so many other things that for the short...

    Looking for Passover feed recipe for Layers

    A few thoughts! It might be worth exploring fermenting their feed just to unlock all the nutrients of the flax seeds, sunflower seeds, lentils, corn, & peas. Make sure to input your ratios into a macro tracker to ensure at least 16% protein, though I prefer 20% for my own flock. 1 week...

    Severe BUMBLE FOOT

    I highly recommend using tricide-neo for bumble foot. I had 3 salmon Faverolles with persistent (year long) bumblefoot and lost foot feathers, after a week of using a tricide-neo dip it cleared up within a month and they haven't had it since.

    Would you convert this ?

    Imo that's way too small for that price. 😬 I built my 8x8 coop for about $250.

    Thinking about ripping out current nest boxes

    Seeking wisdom! I have 22 chickens. Even when I only had 7 they only laid in this 1 box. I built all 4 boxes identically. Tale as old as time- they will only lay in 1 box. And they are FIGHTING. There are lines in the morning. Squabbles about line cutting. It's so loud. Since they are roll...

    We've got an egg-eater on our hands...😤

    If you have some scrap wood and a nail gun (or a drill) you can make these roll away boxes! They're fabulous if you don't want to cull the egg eater. It stopped our egg eater in her tracks. I'll link two separate builds. I built the first one on a smaller scale. Also- it keeps the eggs...

    Is this stridor? Wheezing video included.

    Just found her like this today. Recently added straw to the run. Temps have gotten in the single digits at night. Flock of 22. She is eating and acting normal besides this sound. They are kept away from wildlife though something flying overhead could have spread disease? No discharge in the...
