    I use wheat bran, but I haven’t seen any mold and it doesn’t smell or anything. I do have some beetles, so I’m guessing that is a good sign.

    Coop too hot

    In Oregon, so not a lot of humidity. I have 1 small fan in the back bottom blowing air into the coop and the other small fan at the front top sucking it out. Or at least that is what we were trying. I also had a box fan blowing into the coop from the back bottom, since it is shady at the back...

    Coop too hot

    We built a hoop coop and I placed a thermometer inside to keep track of the temp. The coop is covered with a large white tarp. The temperature has been 10+ degrees hotter inside the coop than outside despite having a solar fan setup. I panicked and we removed the tarp and tried putting ground...

    My mealworms keep turning black even though I think I have enough carrots and/or celery in the tank. Confused as to how much produce I need to have in there as I spread pieces all around the tank.

    Buff Orpington Roo or Hen?

    Hello! I have a feeling my Buff Orpington might be a rooster, which city regulations don’t allow. I only have the one, so I don’t have another hen to compare it with. I have searched online, but am just not for sure and don’t want to mistakenly rehome a hen. It is 12 weeks old. Thoughts??

    Mealworm order delayed

    Well, they finally arrived and miraculously some are still alive! I just threw the whole lot into their bin with some apple cores and carrots and dampened some paper towel pieces to cover more area. Should I pick out the nonmoving ones or not worry about it?

    Mealworm order delayed

    Hello mealworm farmers! I ordered 2000 mealworms to start my adventure and the shipment was shipped out on May 10. I received notice that the shipment was delayed and would not arrive until today, May 23rd. I am guessing they will all be dead. I already contacted the seller about it and I will...

    Brooder Enrichment

    I hung a jingle bell, and they also really like a small hand mirror from the Dollar Store. After moving them into the coop I hung the mirror up and stuck their baby perch in front of it and they were all trying to look at themselves, lol.

    9 Week old Gold Star Rooster

    I am told my Gold Star Sexlink “Hen” is a rooster, and unfortunately, due to city regulations I cannot keep him. He is well mannered and can be easily picked up. Fed organic Scratch & Peck Mash. I would keep him if I could and am sad to have to get rid of him. He is not vocal yet, but I need to...

    Golden Sexlink - Roo or Hen?

    Well, this is disappointing . . . So the one that was supposed to be a for sure hen is a rooster, great . . . I’m not allowed to have one. Ugh!
