    I’m gonna call it a cooplo

    We are going to build a wooden room into our large concrete silo. This is going to be our coop. We still have the winch cord in there with a light attached and we will add clear roof panels for light. This silo has nice ventilation but isn’t damp and it’s very secure because it’s about a foot or...

    I will post pics to the thread yes 🙂. I weighed out 1oz of feed and I put it in a tray. How much do you recommend in ounces per day at this age. They are all napping now 😴

    We are working on building the coop, run but rain is delaying our progress this week. We are going to build a wooden room for the coop into one of our large concrete silos.

    I’ve finished the breederminion. I think they miss Blurb more than Blurb misses them. I’ve gotta run out to the barn and get the other waterer for Blurb.

    I agree it’s better than nothing. It’s got a beautiful chirp and very friendly. Blurb deserves a chance in my book. Thanks so much 🥰

    I have a feeder and also a tray they can scratch in. It’s usually asleep in the tray, if it’s not in the tray it’s got at least 5 layer chicks snuggling with it. They probably think it’s a nice pillow to lay on

    Help, ended up with a meat bird, in with layer chicks

    Thanks, I’d love it if you could do the link of the thread and article. I see it’s got a comb coming in already so it could well be a Roo. My son named it Blurb 😂. I’m up for the challenge and I’m heading upstairs to put an addition on my brooder box with mesh in between

    Help, ended up with a meat bird, in with layer chicks

    That’s for sure, one flew over him and pooped on him yesterday. He was very butt hurt and had to have a bath. I agree with the mesh wall, I did think of doing that. I’ve got them in two massive cardboard boxes that I taped together so I’ll be adding on an addition 😂

    There’s more of them so they swarm the feeder and eat. I really don’t want to butcher him, I just wanted layers

    Help, ended up with a meat bird, in with layer chicks

    I’m in Wisconsin. I did some research about not culling and I know they aren’t meant for longevity but I’m a sucker for animals. It’s got a sweet disposition too. Any suggestions on feeding? It’s impossible to keep its weight down right now, I swear it’s bigger every time I look in the brooder 😂

    I’d like to see if I can keep him healthy and with the flock. I have an alpaca farm so I don’t work a “regular job” and could spare the time 🙂
