    Coop Design and Setup

    Mehh from what I've researched, as long as you keep it dry and turn it over at least once a week it should be fine. I live in an area with a very dry atmosphere...I think that makes a difference.

    Coop Design and Setup

    Can you expound on that; why didn't it work over concrete? I have a little chicken house sitting inside an existing dog kennel (6'x6' chain link panels on a concrete pad). I've planned to build a roof over the kennel, and enclose the floor around the bottom of the kennel with 1"x 6" as a...

    Bedding Alternative

    I use the equine pine pellets for my chicks. No smell or dust and they can't eat the big pellets. I get a 40# bag for around $7 or less and lasts a long time also safe for compost.

    Recovering from Pasty Butt

    I was using warm water on a cotton pad to clean up the butts but found through trial and error that a cotton pad soaked with a few drops of olive oil was more effective at cleaning their little hiney and it leaves a little coating on their vents that helps to keep them a bit cleaner. I'm all...

    Stop chick feed waste
