    Discount Home Automation automatic door

    Has anyone installed this in their coop? I just got mine in the mail but haven't installed it yet. Just wondering if anyone has any tips or pointers before I get started. I have a digital timer that I will plug it into. thanks

    Question about mini barn conversion

    I converted a mini barn/shed this past year. I had some friends come over and install a small 2' x 3' window on the south side. I then built an inner wall to have a small storage area. I insulated it and added linoleum for easy clean up. This spring I painted the inside with high gloss paint...

    @ Lotsapaints I'd like to learn more about your bucket sprouting method. I think I'd like to start sprouts for mine this fall when our grass dies out for the winter. What is your ratio of wheat/oats/sunflowers? Just enough water to cover them? I know when I do sprouts for me I use a canning...

    rabbit feeder for chicks?

    I have a small feeder just like this and I use it for the crushed oyster shell for my girls. They walk right over and eat from it no problem. I have a bigger feeder for my layer pellets but the small rabbit feeder would be perfect for grit or oyster shell.

    April 2010 Pullets- wanna wait with me?

    SunnysideupstateNY hang in there. We had it terrible hot here yesterday and today it cooled off nicely in the 70's. Not sure if that had anything to do with it but I'm guessing the cooler temps may have helped a little. Before she laid her egg she was having a nice little dust bath! They are...

    Who else is waiting the impossible wait?

    I got my first egg tonight!!! From my Cuckoo Marans Gerda. They are 18 1/2 weeks old. I noticed her earlier tonight lying down in the shade with her tail set really high where the other hens had their tail feathers low and relaxed. Around 7:20 she went into the coop in the nest box and about...

    My Cuckoo Marans Gerda just laid her first egg this evening!!! My wait is over. But the shell was very thin. I've had them on layer pellets for about a week now. They also have oyster shell but that's only been for about a week also. They are 18 1/2 weeks old. My other Marans doesn't have...
