    Crate to Coop Conversion -- Part 2

    We solved that one. The chickens were still quite young and hanging on to their brooder box. I provided 4 roosting boxes and they wouldn't turn loose of the brooder. So I finally did as one poster recommended -- I "broke them from the pacifier" by boarding up the brooder box. Now we have...

    "Design it right the first time" is rather unrealistic in many cases. We no longer drive T model Fords, watch tube televisions, or fly in biplane aircraft, but on a forum like this one you are probably right. Those things would break the irony meter around here.

    OK, I think I understand what you are asking now. More than one person said there was no way chickens would stay in such a small box. I took pictures of several chickens that chose to stay in the box, and I disregarded all the other information they had to say. Exaggeration destroys...

    Crate to Coop Conversion -- Part 2

    I listen pretty well. I remember one person objectively saying it would make a good brooder -- not umpteen. Please show me otherwise. Also, I can show you numerous posts that say it's no good for any chickens at all. As I recall, one post even said the crates should be disassembled and...

    Quote: Nobody is really listening anyway. Perhaps your communication skills are better. Quote: I concluded that a while back and confirmed it with a professional breeder back in post 55. It's only good for 2 or 3 chickens. Quote: Your point is ok. It just sounds kind of silly...

    Crate to Coop Conversion -- Part 2

    My last customer is breeding about 20 different pedigrees of chickens to sell aside from his management day job, and he needs a compact way to keep all his breeds separated. He bought two of my basic crates to try out. He'll probably use them for brooders starting out and them convert them to...

    BYF lacks creativity, and my customers seem to be doing better. For example, last week a guy bought 2 basic crates from me. "Right size for 2 large or three small chickens" he said.. He raises and sells a wide variety of bred chickens and his collection far exceeds anything I've seen on BYF...

    NwChickma, You're correct -- my patience is short with people that lose their money. I'm on the wrong forum, and I should probably talk with professional farmers.

    "Nest boxes scattered around fields" makes sense for free range chickens, and a farmer did it for 10 years. Most of the other commenters could not survive as farmers. They lose money.

    Diatomaceous Earth for Worming

    He also said it would do the worm job all by itself. I'm not finding a de-wormer that treats for everything. Any recommendations?
