    Paper-thin egg shells

    the old fashion layer above doesn't have much food in it. I use a whole grain layer and anyone can make that part of their feed choice. Also don't feed any Spinach as that depletes their calcium intake. .. ALWAYS feed Oyster Shells on the SIDE cup so they can take as much or as little as they...

    Wireless Thermometer and Hygrometer Gauge

    A recent find of a Govee outdoor wireless Temp and Humidity gauge gave me peace of mind knowing that I have a safe environment for my chicks and coop environments. https://www.amazon.com/Govee-Thermometer-Hygrometer-Bluetooth-Temperature/dp/B07R586J37. For instance, it's sunny out and I have a...

    Comment by 'UrAlly' in article 'Reasons for Tossing Out Your Indoor Brooder and Start Raising Your Chicks Outdoors'

    While I love many of your ideas and actually do some myself just like you have I do have a few points to address and I will try to add in my why's. Also, a few questions or concerns: - Heating pads are only UL listed for indoor use. So using perhaps a Sweeterheater or another device that might...

    Any ideas for making a brooder?

    no light or at most a distant night light. Even the moon is enough. I use heat plates for our under 8 week old chicks, but, after that, they don't get heat and the nightlight suffices when moonlight isn't present. This allows them to rest as per natural light.

    Too cold for 10 week old chicks?

    I read a published study about perches and it recommends rounded edges and the skinny side up for chickens feet that way the toes can wrap over the edges and it relieves pressure of a flat foot and allows them better balancing to grip their perch. And their bodies still drape over their feet :)

    Review by '' on item 'Premier Brooder Heating Plate'

    These are fabulous. I use them for the hatchlings, the singletons that need their own crib, and or older birds that need some TLC. I double and triple stack them in the brooder for entertainment and for the chicks to pick a level to sleep or perch. Marvelous. I stopped using the clear stick-on...

    Review by '' on item 'Chicken Feeder / Water Fountain'

    OMG! I LOVE LOVE LOVE these feeder/waterers! I have recommended them to all my buyers and to all that come to me for consultation. They work so well. I literally own at least 14 of these. And I make sure all new chicken owners have two.

    Review by '' on item 'Hova Bator - Circulated Air Genesis Egg Incubator W/ Electronic Therm - 1588'

    We have two so that one is the 1-18 days and one is for lockdown. Works well for us that way. We also live where there is high humidity here in the bay area. So don't need to add water, instead we use a small tupperware 2 oz cup and fill that half way, it allows us to have the perfect amount of...

    Review by '' on item 'Plastic 1 Quart Jar Waterer'

    I like these quail sized waterers for singleton care, or for spot waterers for my hatchlings. Easy to put out some in a few spots with the small foot print.

    Bay Area BYCers!

    Premier1 has the fencing that is highly recommended by the Chicken Experts in Ben Lomand (near Santa Cruz). After an extensive chat with a couple of the experts we knew they were very knowledgeable. Premier1 has a lot of supplies. We ordered from them and they delivered quickly. Price depends...

    Bay Area BYCers!

    I am finding it pretty easy to start. Cost is mostly in prep for us as we have to have protection for them at all times. They can't walk freely in the backyard due to Hawks, Eagles, owls above where we are. But we did make them a roaming pen with netting so they get to free range without knowing...
