    Checking-In On Peeps - Post Here To Say Hello!

    Greetings everyone. We are currently between chickens. We had to move to a larger home after my mom died and my father moved in with us. The new home is not really setup for chickens. We tried, but the proximity to the woods and determined raccoons ruined that for us. However, we have a friend...

    What treat did your chickies get today?

    A local brewery supplies me with spent grain every now and then. The birds go crazy for that stuff. I freeze some into blocks for them to eat on hot days.

    I Didn't Want Chickens

    It seems Photobucket is getting upset with how popular I am. I will look into hosting my photos somewhere else.

    Fort Chicken

    Several folks have contacted me about the coop I have so I thought I would post a thread detailing the construction. The coop started out as a play fort for my four children several years ago. As they grew up they were less and less interested in the fort and it was conscripted into service as...

    I Didn't Want Chickens

    That's the plan. I only put about 4 inches of feed into it in case I need to raise or lower it depending on how the birds can get their heads in there. That is, if they figure it out.

    Eye Injury or Infection?

    I have been taking care of the girl and despite her condition has been in a good mood. The more I cared for her injury the more I became convinced it was not pox. Yesterday the "scab" fell away and she seems to have had her eye plucked out. Poor girl. But she is soldiering on and seems to be...

    Review by '' on item 'Automatic Baby Chick Fount - 2525'

    I was tired of having to take the usual hanging waterer to refill it a couple of times a day so I looked into automatic systems. This is much easier to setup and cheaper to buy ($25 on Amazon) than the usual nipple systems. I bought a $5 adapter to connect it to a water hose and hung it in the...
