    Arkansas folks speak up.........

    Snowing steadily here but roads were still passable an hour ago. Schools out all week so far. Nonetheless, my little OEG banty has decided it's spring and has started laying again. She has a mind of her own...

    Anyone Have Their Coop/Run on Concrete? What do you put on the floor?

    Our run is concrete and open to rain (it's got a chain link top), and our coop is elevated like yours. I tried leaving the concrete bare and hosing it clean but it ended up being a lot of work and smelled poopy. I found that old leaves and pine needles in a thick cover works well, smells less...

    coop bedding- what do you prefer??

    We use pine shavings and sweet PDZ in the coop during the winter, then mainly the sweet PDZ alone during the summer when it's hot. It scoops well with a kitty litter scoop and there's little/no smell. I like hay for the nesting boxes and put it in cardboard boxes so that I can toss the boxes...

    Homemade chick feeder

    I got tired of our chicks kicking pine shavings into their store bought feeder and wasting feed so my daughter and I came up with this idea. Hung it from the top of the brooder tub. It's easy to fill, the chicks figured it out quickly, and the brooder tub stays a lot cleaner. Soda bottle...

    Free male chicks

    Central Arkansas, 13 male chicks sent as packing peanuts from Ideal in need of homes, take 1 or more, all free. Not sure what breed or even whether they're bantams or LF (they're quite a bit bigger than the bantams they arrived with), black with a yellow patch on their heads and yellow...

    Arkansas folks speak up.........

    Hi, in Hot Springs here. Anyone interested in free male chicks, about 3-4 weeks old? They arrived as packing peanuts from Ideal and I don't have the room to raise them all even for meat. Not sure what breed, all dark with yellow spot on top of their heads and yellow beaks. There are 13...

    Need Suggestions on what to use for the run/base of my coop on top of concrete?

    New to chickens too and we have a large concrete run (our old dog run for escape artist dogs). We have a lot of woods and trees around us and it's worked well to shovel dropped leaves/pine needles in and let the chickies spread it around. Tried just the concrete and washing it off regularly...

    Yogurt?

    Mine love yogurt as a treat--when I have a carton that's going old, I bring a spoonful down to the coop with me and the girls eat it out of the spoon in my hand. So far they like the plain greek kind.

    Sex and gender of my 2 bantams--Welsummer girl? EE but not sure of gender?

    We're new to chickens and have 2 little 12 1/2 weeks bantams that we hatched out from an assortment of McMurray's bantam eggs. I was thinking this was a Welsummer girl (Welsummer was one of the possibilities listed in the egg collection). The white stuff on her is the yogurt they had for...
