    FERMENTED FEEDS...anyone using them?

    I'm going to give it a whirl. The main questions would be 1. How much to feed 4 chickens? From what I read it was saying anywhere from 1/2 to 2 cups once or twice a day. Is that per chicken? because now I only add about 5 cups of dry per week plus the scratch, but they get all they want of it...

    Ok I'm very interested in this but my computer is stupid slow. It would take me 2 years to read the last 786 pages. Could someone please post the Cliff Note version of how to do this please? I've been feeding Layer Crunbles and Scratch grains with an occasional treat of greens and bugs when...

    Coop windows

    I'm about finished with my coop. It's 6x4 outhouse design. The front is 5ft tall with the top 10 inches hardware cloth on the front. There is also 4, 6x12 inch vents, 1 on each side and 2 on the back. My question is I'm wanting to put 2 10x 30 inch windows on the front, but they will line up...

    Coops and poops

    Thank you also every pic helps. My coop is 4x8 and it will be attached to a 10x6 dog kennel run. They will also be free ranged during the day after the dogs and them learn to get along. After looking at the pic's I'm thinking about one 8 ft roost bar across the coop with a poop board underneath...

    Coops and poops

    Thanks for the pics! Probably only 5 or 6 birds,depending on a rooster. But was planning on a 2ft wide door centered in backside[ 8 ft], so will have to reach possibly 3 ft either way and at 4 ft wide that would be a preety good reach. Was considering a lower roost on each end and one long...

    Coops and poops

    I'm building a 4x8 coop that is only 4 ft tall, so I can't walk in. Was going to have 3 exterior nest boxes on one of the 4ft walls. Trying to decide where and how many roosts to have and a height. Like the idea of poop bords but seem most are for walk-ins. Also thought I'd seen where someone...
