    Has anyone successfully used little giant auto water with rain barrel system?

    Good morning, We have recently moved, and have just finished whole new coop for the flock. It’s a large one,(24x36) and we have electricity hooked up, however the cost to drill a water well is more than my husband is willing to pay for. We decided to install gutters, and have it set up for a...

    Worried about mail order chicks with usps slow service

    I think I was looking on Ideal poultry magazine. I was shocked at the price hike this year. Last year there were 1/2 that.

    Nagem, Quick question. Do you sell hatching eggs from your Ameraucana’s? I noticed you are just 30 min away from me, and I am actually looking for different breeds to hatch. Looking for 15-20 eggs later in the month.

    Worried about mail order chicks with usps slow service

    Yes, i was afraid of this. I kind of figured that if they (USPS) cant handle priority next day shipments in 1 day, then they certainly wouldn’t get priority shipping on time. I am not going to drive to MO to get them, so i guess i will stick with Ideal poultry and just drive there. On another...

    Worried about mail order chicks with usps slow service

    Hi there, I am not new to ordering chicks, it’s just has me concerned with all the slowing down of the USPS shipments this last year or more. I am in south Texas, so in the past I have ordered from Ideal, and not had problems. I was a little nervous last year when I ordered from Ideal, so I just...

    Converting 10 hole metal nest to roll out?

    Yes, that is the one. I am afraid if I screw it up, it will either cut them, or I will be left with a useless nest box

    Hi, I am looking for ideas to convert several 10 hole metal laying boxes into a front roll out. Has anyone done this with success? I have looked for ideas, and can’t find any for the conversion for the metal nesting boxes. I would need to remove the entire front, however all I can find online...

    Bumble Foot No Kernal

    Ok, wow! That looks very uncomfortable for him. I have a hen who had similar swelling , and like yours the bottom seemed fine. I soaked, and made a small incision in the area with the most swelling. If I remember correctly we had to really force the pus out and yes, there was a bit of blood. Her...

    Thinking About a Large Pole-Barn Coop in DFW — Need Opinions!

    Couple more things… Knowing that the hardware cloth was a great dust collector, i might think about the 1”x1” wire for the top area only. I have to dust it off weekly. The less i dust it, the more the fans need to be dusted.

    Thinking About a Large Pole-Barn Coop in DFW — Need Opinions!

    Hi there as far as the winter goes all I do is I put a tarp over the front because that’s where most of the wind and the cold comes in and I only put it down maybe one or two days out of the entire winter, it doesn’t get that cold here. I don’t ever put any heat source of any kind because of...
