My best friend and I are going to make a bulk order. Just not sure what is absolutely necessary to have on hand. 🙁. I live the middle of nowhere and no poultry vets nearby in town.

I know of five ppl in the suburbs building a chicken coop! High demand for sure. I hope they treat them right.

My friend ordered from Hoover’s Hatchery :)

I forgot about to put foam in the corners to keep the chicks from crushing one another. I saw a tip somewhere here about that. My friend made a larger brooder out of an oval rubber feeder tub as well. Thank you for your help!

That’s what I figured but I was definitely surprised by it as I’ve never seen what they were shipped in until today. It makes sense though! This was the box.

Is anyone not liking Nutrena layer anymore? My 4 girls were raised on Nutrena and have only had two bags of Purina layena before I switched back to a Nutrena. I generally will feed them wet food in the morning or maybe a little in the evening and also free feed dry. And a little bit of black...

I’m having this problem now. They grew up together, too 😞. The only change has been that my husbands teens are in town and I’ve not been in there as much, still several times a day but less than usual. I was late letting them Out of the coop a few times since time change and maybe too many...
