Definitely out!

We put our chickens in the run for the first time yesterday and my chocolate lab (who hasn't even noticed them in the garage brooder) went crazy trying to dig under the coop and run. I pulled her off a few times and yelled no at her each time. She wouldn't stop and she is so strong that it...

Hi Everyone! I just found out from another BYC member that there was a Michigan Forum! I live in Milford and am new to raising chickens. We are doing it just for eggs and we thought it would be a great life long learning experience for our children (4 year old daughter and one on the way in...

Thanks for the quick responses! I thought that is what I would have to do. They have been brooding in the coop for over 2 weeks now, so hopefully it will be easy! Wish me luck trying to get them from under the coop (I am 7 1/2 months pregnant!!!) . They have been running around the whole run...

LOL. I let my 10 girls out today for the first time since it is actually over 80 degrees today! They are 5 weeks old. I had to take them out of their coop and place them in the run because they have never been outside. How to I start training them to go back into the coop now? They have...

We are using them right now. We have the red ones though. They are WONDERFUL! No messy water to clean out, they don't leak and the chickies LOVE playing with them. It took us about 3 minutes to teach our 3 week olds how to use them. I haven't found a down side to them yet! Worth every penny!!

So sorry for your loss! I was praying for your poor little chick all morning and following your posts. You did all that you could for her and she knew that she was loved.

Ours have been out in the coop since they were about 3 1/2 weeks old. They got too big for their brooder (since the brooder was made for the 6 I was supposed to get, not the 10 that I ended up getting! lol) Of course, we have the heat lamp on them, but they don't seem to huddle around it very...

She reminds me of Chicken Little...The sky is falling, the sky is falling.... Poor thing. Hope she grows out of it...

Thanks Nifty-chicken!!!! I was saving it as a jpeg file! gif worked great! I am no longer pictureless!!!!

same here! I also tried to make it 75 x 75 and it still said it was too large!!!

I am having the same problem with the system saying that my image is too large. I have tried EVERYTHING! Any help would be appreciated!

WOW!!! What a jerk that seller is! I guess that is why he had to get a new account! Kudos to the buyer for trying to let people know in a very creative manner!!

I just trained my 4 week old chicks how to use them. I couldn't believe it, it took about 3 minutes for all 10 of them to start using it. I left their regular waterer in with them, but the next morning, I noticed that they hadn't been using the nipples so much and their waterer was empty. I...

I found that using a wet cotton ball works great! It holds more water and is softer than paper towel. Got the job done in less time which made for happier chickies!
