Well two weeks ago we had an accident. One of the iChicks passed away, we believe she was the one who laid a "goose" egg, it was a triple yoke egg....but after what everyone explained we have prepared ourselves. Yesterday morning we had the "mama" pass away. She was the biggest of them all and...

The Moore's iFarm is in :-)

thanks for the advice. I think I will go with flake pine shavings and wear a mask :) I love this site!!! Oh ya, should I clean out the chicken poop daily or just mix it up in the pine shavings? Or do I just add new pine shavings on top of the poop daily?

Understood. I will put more vents tonight before the birds get in their new homes.

I just watched those videos. That is exactly what the farm looks like we're we got these eggs from. My in laws have us eggs to eat. We took it upon ourselves to hatch them. We did not know this would happen. They seem happy and walk around But mostly sit around the yard. They lay eggs and...

Are you saying not to keep these chickens inside in Texas? I just spend 2,000 on a new shed and run. That would stink if I couldn't use it....I thought the chicks would have a better life if they had s nice cozy place to sleep at night.

Two of them are laying eggs now. The second layed an egg for the first time and she just sits in her coop and doesn't walk around anymore but she is the thinnest of them all. When you mean kill them. Will they die or will they just not walk which means they are suffering and they should be put...

my wife is sending me pictures now and I will post them in a few minutes. So my in laws have a chicken farm, they have chicken houses and give the fertile eggs to Tysons Chicken every 3 days. They said they keep the hens for about 9 months until Tyson switches them out. When we went to visit...

I'm not going to do anything to the inside except paint. and a clear coat on the floor. going off what different people suggested. Also, what vents and how do I vent my shed. It's a 8x12 gable style shed. I have one window in the front, and two 8"x4" vents at the top on each side. Where else...

So I have been reading around and I know I messed up with raising my chicks but I want to fix it. Currently I have 4 chicks, I hatched them from my in laws who run a Tyson Chicken Farm. My chicks are a good size, not skinny like most chickens I have seen. They are going to be 20 weeks old this...

This is about bedding. I live in San Antonio and my allergies are horrible, I think they say its from the cedar. So if I get Flake Pine Shavings will this affect my allergies? or should I go with hay? I know if I try the pine shavings I will know for sure but I was just curious if others had...

Taking some advice here. Going with the cloth hardware for run. Going to add a roof to the run. Adding complete sand in the run. No insulation. Going to add plywood inside so I can paint it to make it look nice and finished. Utherane coating on the floor. Adding three windows on the front, three...

These are my thoughtS for the house. Please let me know if it's wrong or if I need to add anything. I'm getting a 8x12x9 ft gable style shed Monday. I want to insulate it and drywall it and paint gloss paint inside. The floor will have linoleum flooring. One window and a powered vent to take any...

look for the Brinsea Mini Advance EX..the ex version comes with a built in humidity guage..I had to add that to the inside...but if I had known before I would have bought the EX version...good luck with the hatching...buy a candler too...its much easier to see the eggs growth vs using an iPhone...
