    Mealworm farming

    I once used giant meal worms that came from Wal Mart. They did go though the life cycle, but it took a while for them to change, longer than other meal worms I got in the mail.

    @CluckyInKY I can't tell you all the details to make your coop completely predator proof, but I can give a few tips. I found out the hard way with my first flock that chicken wire is not, aviary netting and tarps are not. I'm in Lexington, in town, in a neighborhood where every other house has a...

    rooster spins in circles thats the only symptom

    I don't know if it's any help, but.... there's a type of seizure that humans can have that makes them spin in circles. If the comb is turning black, then it could be some sort of vascular problem. I just don't have enough information to help you research the possible causes. Maybe they got into...

    Mama Heating Pad in the Brooder (Picture Heavy) - UPDATE

    About 4 years ago, I came home with 3 gold laced wyandottes. I didn't have a coop or anything built, and they were little chicks. I put together a brooder for them using an old wicked blanket chest I had planned to throw in the trash. I didn't want to use a heat lamp for the risk or fire, nor...

    @kysilkies Your birds are very beautiful! I only wish I had room for more chickies! Edit: Just to give the locals an update on my order of 4 wyandotte chicks. The first 48 hours home has just passed and everything has gone perfectly so far. My chicks' hatch date was Monday, they were...

    @Nofowlplay Thanks! I'm trying Meyer Hatchery in Ohio. If that doesn't work out, I will try local again. I'll share some photos if all goes well.

    I cannot find that group. I could find the one for Lawrenceberg and Northern KY though.

    Suggestions on Store Bought Coops

    Congrats on your new silkie babies! I'm in a similar position as you. My four chicks are on order and set to be delivered before the end of the month. I chose this coop for them. I bought if from a store in the next town over called Rural King. I had a small flock of 7 birds before, made my...

    @Tiffany24 ask @pdholbrook about some buff laced polish.... it might work out for the both of you. Just thought I would share about my order. I settled in between shipping and buying local. I placed an order with Meyer Hatchery because they are willing to ship my tiny flock of 4 from Ohio...

    Pawhut 71" Wooden Backyard Henhouse Chicken Coop Kit

    Hi! I am working on my kit too! I went with one made by Innovation Pet called Coop & Feathers Large Hen House. It's not very big at all, which is great because I live in town and only want a small flock. I think yours is really cute! If there's enough roost space for all your birds, but you feel...

    tractor supply red barn coop

    Maybe if you can post a photo of your box and a link to the coop you bought your problem would be more clear?

    @jonesy4000 Yes! That would be wonderful! Lawrenceberg isn't far from Lexington at all. It would be great to have contact before since the hatchery I am considering has chicks available right around the time of the swap. It would be incredible good luck to find some chicks locally. On another...

    Hello fellow Kentuckians! Could anyone tell me of a known source for gold laced Wyandottes in Kentucky? I have my heart set on this breed. If I could get some chicks locally, it would be better than ordering thru the mail. If not, does anyone know of any Group Order events locally??? I will go...

    Attention Lexington KY chicken keepers!

    I'm in Lexington, KY too! We're setting up for chickens again. We had a flock a few years back. Long story short, opossum. We learned a lot since then and now feel ready to give it another go. Just thought I would drop in and say 'hi' to anyone else in the area. I know a few folks at work that...
