    Can you feed chickens uncooked rice?

    In Korean and as my link shows Thai natural farming, they feed new born chicks a diet of brown rice and chopped bamboo after hatching. In Asian natural farming they believe that brown rice and bamboo makes the chicks intestines strong leading to healthier chickens who are raised on natural...

    Am I robbing my daughters (Christmas) childhood...?

    I grew up without Christmas and it stunk. My friends had Christmas trees, their moms decorated and baked something special while I got to pick out one gift and then go home and play with it without it getting wrapped or anything. My husband on the other hand they have all kinds of great family...

    Why All The "Junk"?

    Quote: I don't think your coop looks like junk at all. You took what perhaps was junk and made it into something nice. There are lots of coops made out of pallets that were thrown out as junk that look fantastic. Recycling is not just good for the wallet but also good for the enviroment when...

    Yep. A uniseal might be easiest for you to use. If you do decide to go with a bulkhead make sure that if you're going to glue your PVC into the fitting to get a non threaded bulkhead. If you're planning to use screw in fittings get the threaded bulkhead. Another thing is to make sure that with...

    You can use a bulkhead or uniseals. Have a look at bulkreefsupply.com and do a search for bulkhead. Proper irrigation stores carry bulkheads and some plumbing places. I buy mine online, much cheaper.

    What type of light?!

    If you're interested in radiant heating panels may I suggest Kane heating mats. They also go by pig blankets. They are very popular among those of us who keep large reptiles and cheaper than the sweet heat panels. You can mount them several different ways. As for heat lamps, I use the red...

    horrible mud

    Places like Colorado Materials and Pioneer let you scoop your own sand and rock into rubbermaid tubs. We do that when we need small amounts of bark or dirt. You could slope your run with a rake and shovel and then go and get some gravel and sand and put it down. Even a good layer of mulch will...

    Can ducks coexist with a red eared slider in a small pond?

    If you don't have an established pond then it wouldn't work for you. Chlorine and Chloramine in tap water can irritate sliders so everytime you clean out the pond you would have to dechlorinate the water. That would get pretty expensive after a while. Duck poop in the water will also lead to...
