    Does the nest box have to be in the coop?

    Hi Folks, Does the nest box have to be in the coop? I rather have it in my covered chicken run for ease of access. Does anyone not have their nest box in the coop? Thanks in advance. Have a great day and God bless. -k

    Dry Milk, safe to feed?

    Hi Everyone, I got a box of leftover dry milk that nobody seems to want to drink in our house. Can I just mix this into my chicken's feed? Or am I better off mixing it up with water and letting them drink it? Have a great day and God bless. -kelly

    Dog waterer with Microban

    Hi Folks, I just went to Petsmart and bought a dog waterer that is 2.75 gallons. This automatic waterer has Microban built in to resit germs and such in the water dish. Is this harmful to chickens? I figure if Microban is built into human and dog/cat products, should be okay for chickens...

    "Green roof" for my coop

    Quote: Its more for fun and hopefully, when I cut it, the chicks will like to eat or play with it. After that, it'll go into my new compost tumbler. -kelly

    "Green roof" for my coop

    The die thingy is used to make each of the sheets more ridged. Also, it makes it so it can overlap the next one and be more uniform like real metal roofing. I live near the beach so wanted stainless steel staples for the staple gun to attach the cans. Couldn't find it at Sears, Home Depot or...

    "Green roof" for my coop

    Hi Folks, Thanks for the replies. I was at Lowes today and they didn't have the shower membrane that Home Depot had. The one at Home Depot was pretty thick, must of been about 1/8 (or a tad thinner). I had a brilliant and cheap idea. Linoleum is cheap and cheap enough to do two layers of...

    "Green roof" for my coop

    Hi Everyone, I would like to incorporate a "green roof" for my coop that is currentlyYourLinkGoesHere in progress. I'll like to put down a rubber shower liner and then on top of that maybe 2-3 inches of soil to grow grass or plants of some sort. Is 2-3 inches enough for grass to grow? And...

    Where to purchase DE in the San Francisco Bay area?

    Thanks Joe, neither one are not. San Jose is probably the closest and its about an hour away. I'll probably, wait till I have other stuff to get before going there. Thanks again!

    Where to purchase DE in the San Francisco Bay area?

    Quote: I was hoping to use DE for both feeding to the chickens (every so often) and also for sprinkling it on the floor every week. For the deep litter method, wouldn't I be like sprinkling a handful or two? So a 2 pound bag might not last 2 months?

    No more rats! Whee hee!

    You can purchase cheaply Plaster of Paris at Home Depot and its in the painting section. When I first looked for it, I kept going up and down the cement isle... Its like 14 bucks for a 20 pound bag. I'm sure at Michael's art supply, it'll be much more expensive for the same poundage. -kelly
