    The ungrateful little peeps! Maybe they saw how much sweat and beer went into making the poop drawer, they are afraid to poop on it!

    Apple Cider Vinegar and Chicken Nipples

    How much Apple Cider vineger do you add to 5 galons of water? I have just set a water feeder with the nipples and want to keep the water clean and slime free

    Post your CITY coop pictures!

    I have a small yard but did fit this coop against the back fence. We can see it from our kitchen/living room, so can be entertained by the chicks. it is 4' by 4' and we have 4 hens. As you can see, my son likes to play in it as well. The run next to it is 4 feet by 8 feet

    Plexiglass Brooder?

    Depends for how long. We had our 2 chicks in a 24" x 24" cardboard box Brooder for the first 3 weeks, and by then they had outgrown it, and we moved them into a dog pen, 36" x 36" for the next 2 weeks.

    Hello from Silicon Valley CA.

    Sharp eyes Fierlin, the caption on the photo was incorrect, the chicks were about a week old when it was taken, not a day old. Thanks for the warm welcome and I will do a better write up of my coop construction with more photos once it is completed
