    Comment by 'nancypo' in article 'Identifying & Treating Chicken Heat Stress'

    We hit 104° the other day and we're in hot dry desert kind of area and Boise Idaho. I bought a mister that's brass and has three heads and works really great to cool down the area. I attach it to a hose, it doesn't use much water, and put it on the area that they're hanging out the most in at...

    Comment by 'nancypo' in article 'Do Poultry Mourn Over The Loss Of A Flock Mate?'

    I have seen this for the 15 years that I've been keeping chickens. Because we have a small Urban flock usually with a maximum of four hens they usually are used to the others being there. We have lost some chickens over the years and they definitely notice the loss and look for them. I have...

They need to be easy to clean which is not usually consideration a lot of the prefab ones. We bought a recycled standard storm door that has a...

    Feeding chickens raccoons

    Diseases. If there's a local wildlife rehab place/Federal fish and wildlife office, you might contact them and see if they can be relocated instead of killed. They do a really good job of eating different things that can be pests

    Review by 'nancypo' in article 'Pelletized Bedding / Shavings'

    We have a small Urban flock and live in a dry climate in Boise Idaho. We've used the deep litter method for almost 10 years and it works great! We have three hens and a nice size Coop. We clean out the entire Coop four times a year. I clean up the upper roosting area about once a week or as...

    My chicken coop is smaller than I expected :(

    I would have sent it back personally since you got ripped off. And I would file a complaint against that company and do an online review. We have a sunroom on our coop in winter in Idaho to give the birds more room in the snow and rain. It's easy enough to do and you can use recycle materials...
