    Built a new permanent Brooder

    First night went well. I did have to add that night light and show them the heat plates but they’ve got the lay of the land now.

    Built a new permanent Brooder

    I’ve built a couple of temporary brooders that have worked well for their purposes and times. Plastic tote for a few chicks, 4x4 notched plywood with HC lid to take apart and store flat when not in use, and most recently a couple of stacked 2x8s making a 10’x 6’ x 16” brooder with 3 large fold...

    Finding a serious feed mill in Florida

    How about Jacksonville? Currently buying Kalmbach or Nutrena but looking for savings where I can. I've 50 layers, 5 roos, 2 ducks. Looking to add another 40 layers over the next months.

    Are there any mills in Florida selling Corn/Soy Free Non-GMO Chicken Feed?

    I am looking as well. I'm in Jax, too. Did you find anything?

    Identify these please

    I purchased some young birds at the local feed store. They thought they were mystic onyx. Others have said Ayam Cemani. Thoughts?

    Ackerman’s Alumi-Coop Chicken Tractor - A Review

    We now have 3 of the 10’x12’ and 1 of the 6’x10’. These things make my day to day so simple. Yes they were pricey, but for us, the trade off is worth it. I have just moved a bantam silkie mama hen, daddy roo, and their two chicks that are a month or so into the bantam tractor and it’s going...

    Ackerman’s Alumi-Coop Chicken Tractor - A Review

    A review update... ROOST BARS - We removed the roost bar closest to the nest box since when the perch popper for the nest box released, it would hit the birds, we still have plenty of roost space for the 25 we have in each coop with space leftover. In the 10x12, the bars do begin to sag in...

    Does anyone have an Alumi-coop from Ackerman’s?

    I have had 2 for about 6 weeks. They are terrific and I am about to order 2 more.

    Found a local feed

    Wow. Those prices are drastically lower that what I get here. I get 40 lb Nutrena All Flock for $24 a bag. I am considering getting from a local mill and it is 50 lb or $36 of non-gmo fresh milled monthly. I have near 60 birds.
