    Canadians check in here....

    I too am waiting for other responses. Here is my experience: I sell to friends, trade to other friends and give eggs to family and people who need them. Whatever works in the moment. Be aware that whatever you choose as a price for your eggs...it is NOT enough. They are lovingly...

    Protecting a wood floor?

    No, TwoShepherds. I plan to move some in once I have it all finished...just had it delivered last Thursday, and it hasn't dried up and been warm enough yet for step 1 (clear coat wood treatment). My current flock are living in an old tool shed/pigeon coop that my husband built 20 years ago...

    Protecting a wood floor?

    That price is not outrageous at all. I'm in Canada and just almost twice that, for a Mennonite made coop! I added in delivery and insulation and another window. So, given the exchange between our dollars; roughly the same or more. I am usually a make do with old stuff, recycle kinda gal; but...

    Protecting a wood floor?

    Your coops looks amazing! I just had a very similar one (Mennonites made it) delivered Thursday. I was initially going to prime it and paint the walls and floor, but I had them insulate it and the wood they used inside is so lovely, that I have decided to use a clear-coat water sealant...

    egg eating

    The only time I have had this was introduction of new gals from another part of my farm and my older gals set them straight that time. When I was away this winter for 10 days; my farm sitters said it happened a few times. I would imagine it was related to frozen eggs leaking and seeming...

    Taming a Rooster?

    I have had a similar issue. A fav Roo was headed for soup unless he stopped attacking my knees with his spurs! I read an awesome article on this forum, written by a young chicken farmer. I did what she says and I still have the guy! (He's not in the breeding flock any longer but he's a great...

    Lessons learned in my battle with mites

    Hi Chicken Obsessed, I have found that keeping Guinea fowl with the chickens helps! I don't have any mites on my layer flock, but I developed a problem with them on the 'spare roosters' as I call them, housed in a separate coop in my horse barn. {The short version of the story is that I lose...

    Chantecler Thread!

    Hi Again, Though this may not seem to have much to do with Chanteclers as a breed...I had previously reported that my one rooster (of seven) was quite aggressive. I do NOT think this is common and I acquired him from another farm, last year, as a young bird (8 weeks)...all my others were...
