    Tuh-Duh!! The coop is finished

    "As chickens' feet are not the same as other birds, I would not use limbs but use the 4" side up on a 2 x 4. As they like to sit on their feet with them flat." I disagree, Chickens will naturally roost in trees. Well that's actually my whole argument. In cold weather, it is good to have...

    Ramp into henhouse

    I used a 1" x 12" with small branches screwed to it every 4-6"s with scrap hardware cloth directly on the board under the branches, my ramp is over 4' long though.

    Dog Food?

    I wouldn't even give dog food to my dogs much less to animals that create food for us.

    Hen laying small eggs

    My 2 new Americaunas just started laying last week and they are real small as well but my older one layers much larger eggs. I think the eggs will get bigger as they get older. Our barred rocks lay large eggs.

    Started Mille Fleur D'Uccles and Silkies on My Pet Chicken

    I think price actually lowers with extra pairs. 1 pair is $55, second pair is $45. Pretty birds.

    Anything to stop a dog from killing chickens??

    Quote: I couldn't have said it better. Once they kill, it's only a matter of time before they kill again. I don't have dogs - don't like them so if a neighbor's dog ever get's into my birds, bye bye! Not true, some puppies will do it and be great once they get older, don't listen to the old...

    Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth. Do you know the complete benefits?!?!

    I don't think that DE "is claiming" anything. These are just the different uses that people use it for.
