This morning a Brahma rooster was abandoned in our yard. As sad as it is we are unable to house him as our hens are not fond of him. He is a beautiful boy who needs a good home. For inquiry’s please call (518)-894-2028. We are located in upstate New York. Petersburg NY, 876 Fifty six rd, zip 12138.
I have linoleum on the floor & deep straw. I still get the ammonia smell. I heard pine shavings, is that true? When we had only 4 ladies it wasn’t a problem. Now we have 10 wonderful ladies so I guess it’s only natural for it to smell?

Yes I have 2 Buffs & they are identical & did not get any kind of comb until they were 3 or 4 months. So cute though!! Don't tell Da-see how long it takes them to figure it out themselves-LOL
A window or something like it that I can prop open in the heat of the summer. The vents can't handle the need for air flow in these heat waves we've been having. I open up the barn doors to the coop during the day when they are out free ranging the yard (& the neighbor's yards-they love the...
I love this!! I came here today with a question & it's answered within a few minutes of reading! Thanks for sharing!! Now I know to use the 20% crumble. My one old bird doesn't lay any more so I won't bother with too much calcium. This place is the best!
