    Someone talk me out of it. - Heating

    @chickens really They sure do look happy! Is that an EE rooster I see? I think I will end up installing a 40 watt bulb to ensure the light needed for laying MAYBE. But aside from making the coop more windproof, I guess they should be alright. If it really comes down to a personal choice...

    Also, please note. The coop is not nearly as open as the pics imply. I have since installed wood slabs and thick stapled tarp/plastic for a pond liner in all open areas.

    New Kits ( 1 Week 4 Days )

    Friends, Thanks for writing! @FoodFreedomNow , Thanks, ill have to contact that member! I have it down as far as taking the fatty cells off of the fur. It's the drying part that is getting me. They tend to rip at the points where I hand them from. Also, there must be some better way to dry...

    Thanks for posting these pics!. I always wondered what it would be like to work or even volunteer at the humane society. I think i may look into this, as it would be very rewarding. Here in SLC, UT, there is a beer festival with the intent to use at least partial funds for the humane society. I...

    New Kits ( 1 Week 4 Days )

    These kits were born not two weeks ago. There are a total of 8. I believe the doe is a Blanc de Hotot mix and the buck is a California Rex/ New Zealand White mix. Basically, meat mutts. This is my second litter. I am about 1 and half years into this project. I didn't want to rush and produce a...
