    Move into the new coop.

    I bought a 3 nesting box coop from the local livestock store in spring when I brought home my chicks. I have since then built a much larger coop for them now that will house all 28 of them but they do not want anything to do with it even when it is raining or bad weather and still insist on...

    Seems like a good idea until you have to gather them every season.

    Coop and Run Location location location

    So I thought it would be a good idea to give my flock some shade and built my coop/run under some trees..... well it turns out that was a bad idea because the trees are black walnut trees and the sky is falling for my chickens. this is just a heads up of one of the things to look for when you...

    Disposing of old shavings

    I use hay and straw it breaks down quicker in the compost.

    Talk to me about electric fences

    I was having the same problem. but nothing that getting peppered with some bird shot didn't fix. we had a feral dog in our area that could jump over our 4' electric fence in a single bound. check your states laws but most read the same. anything that is killing your livestock basically can be...

    THe price of roosters

    To me they looked no different ( other than the breed ) than any in my flock.

    THe price of roosters

    If there was anything like that I didn't see it, you would think that copies of those documents would have been on display next to the roosters. with the $200 rooster I had ask why the price was that high and the response was that they didn't want to sell it.

    THe price of roosters

    I was at rural King the other day and they had a barred rock rooster for sell at $200. I was under the impression that this was ridiculous but then he sold. then someone brings in a polish rooster and the priced tag on it is $1200. help me understand this. what makes sense.

    Chicken with Broke Toe

    She is about 3 months old and her diet was the same as all of the others, the chick starter crumbles. I do give them teats from time to time mostly left overs out of the fridge. I have 30 pullets so I didn't notice it right away. If I were a betting man I'd put my money toward the early injury...
