I want to buy a creep feeder for my chickens and ducks. I have seen several brands (Kane, Miller Mtg., #88). Does anyone have any experience with any of these? How much feed do they hold?

I was wondering that too! I will have to try one of those balls to see if they like it.

beautiful!!!

Love your coop! I'm very interested in the roofing material. Does it get overly hot in the coop in the summer?

Coolcanoechic - I love your feeder and I want to do that with the coop we will be building. Can you explain how you did it? Thanks!

In about a month we will officially be chicken owners! I was wonder about how long it took to build your coop (pictures appreciated!), and approx how much you spent. Thanks!

New chick 203 - did you ever find a feed mill in the westchester/ct area? I am also looking.

Me and Rich are friends and getting chickens at the same time, so he is just messing with me! Thanks for the info everyone! (except Rich)

Thanks everyone! What exactly is "scratch" though? Is it left over human food?

We will be getting day old chicks in about a month, and I am trying to learn how to feed them. Can you just feed them chicken feed from a store, or do you have to mix it up? What about oyster shells and egg shells?
