    How to grow your own mealworms instructions

    I agree. I was very disgruntled and impatient--and when I took the tub over to a bright window I was shocked to see hundreds of 1/4" wigglers and some even larger!

    How to grow your own mealworms instructions

    Hi. I ordered some mealworms at the end of August 2015--I was surprised at their healthiness and kept them in cornmeal/oatmeal with a piece of bread on top--apple slices for moisture. They did very well, pupaing (?) and forming beetles, eggs, teeny worms. Now I am back to large mealworms that...

    Consolidated Kansas

    I read not to use newspaper because it is too slippery--I actually used an old scrap of fabric, or a dishtowel--I can't remember. Then some pine shavings. I didn't have any trouble with them trying to eat it. I also had a huge cardboard box and put holes in each side then ran a small piece of...

    TWIN BED Chicken Coop--CHEAP, CHEEP!

    Here it is! The fabulous “Chicken Coop From a Twin Bed!” created from found materials, two drills, a bucket of screws, a hand-held circular saw—and a tape measure (used periodically). I have no experience building anything, but I read a lot of DIY—I needed space upstairs in a bedroom, so I chose...

    My chickens keep pecking at my eyes--I'm bloody!

    Hello, I'm new to BYC and I have 3 (11 week) golden wyandottes and 3 silver cuckoo marans. I like to sit on the stoop and feed them from my hands, but even when they were tiny they'd go for my eyes! They still do this. I have to be very careful doing yardwork--if I bend down or squat down, they...

    Cuckoo Maran vs Barred Rock

    I ordered 3 silver cuckoo marans and all of them had a white head dot/circle....pinkish-gray legs.

    7 1/2 week old Golden-Laced Wyandotte... hopefully pullet?

    Three silver cuckoo marans. All 6 are the same age. Nice girls! (hopefully)

    7 1/2 week old Golden-Laced Wyandotte... hopefully pullet?

    She's beautiful! I have 3 that are 9 weeks and they all look like that (well, 2 are blacker and I'm hoping they'll 'golden up'). I guess that means that I'm hoping mine are all girls--or I got ripped off! What is the white chicken with speckles--she's pretty.
