    Finally bought my Chicks :)

    Home owner's association :( But it's a win win.She's got a farm and her hens are getting old. We're going to share the eggs. We trade home made goods all the time and now she'll board the new hens and I'll supply the food and some labor at the farm.

    It's that time again....coyotes! Uuugghh.

    I'd feel guilty about shooting something that's in a trap. If I catch one running around though, the rifle comes out for sure.

    What is the best way to attach a hose bib (faucet, spigot, whatever) to a 5 gallon bucket?

    Ah you shop at George's shop. Very nice people there.

    Cat in the coop?

    Section off with screening where you want your chickens to stay leaving an area for the kitty. The cat can help keep the snakes and mice at bay.

    Nice brewing setup BTW. I'm using some large coolers I converted into a mash tun and lauterer.

    That's what my Ruger is for. Coyotes are rare in town though.

    Just visit your local home brew store or go online. You can get a food grade bucket with a spigot or you can just buy the spigot by itself. :)

    Finally bought my Chicks :)

    Ended up purchasing 5 Barred Rock chicks today. My coworker agreed to board them. I supplied a 25lb of feed and we trade home made wine and beer and home raised beef. Well I'm going to see if I can get a picture of the girls up on here.

    I can actually get some chicks

    Even though I'm moving to another home in an HOA I can still get some chicks! I have a friend that owns a farm and her hens are getting old. So I worked out a deal. I'll buy 3 barred rock hens (what I want) and a big bag of feed and they can stay at her farm and we'll share the eggs. It's a win...

    Fire ants in the chicken pen

    Seems like fire ants are a big problem in the south. Haven't had to experience them here in MD yet.
