    Coffee Club

    There are mornings where I need coffee more than usual, when my brain just isn't firing all neurons before my first cup. My husband will tell you that I am dangerous in the kitchen before my first cup. This morning I got up and started to make the coffee after letting the dogs out. I went to...

    Expanding size of coop+adding roost

    Building a tiny space with "just enough space" for them to roost still leaves your birds with entirely too little space. You have a rabbit run sized appropriately for one or maybe two rabbits. This is entirely unsuited for keeping five laying hens. If cost is the issue in housing, you may want...

    I know I shouldn’t. Truly. But I have some leftover pineapple crisp from yesterday. And I really want to warm up a serving and have it with hot coffee. I know I will regret it if I do. 👀 Oh, and happy Boxing Day for those who celebrate it.

    using extremely high temps to hatch only females

    Incorrect. The male has both X and Y chromosomes. The female has only X chromosomes. Thus, the ONLY way you get lots of little Roos is if his sperm have plenty of Y’s. If he is throwing half and half X to Y sperm, you should get about half and half male and female on average.

    In that case, you might be able to protect the back of the unit without impeding its ability to charge.

    Abundance of food!!!!!

    yes, exactly. Just like the potatoes that have turned green due to light exposure are bad for humans, they are also bad for chickens. Otherwise, potatoes and potato peelings are very healthy for chickens. Mine get all of our potato peelings and leftover potatoes.

    Abundance of food!!!!!

    Make a soup with the salad mix and any other perishables that need to be dealt with quickly. You can freeze it and the chickens will love it. When I have too many extras to feed the birds all at once, I put it all in a big stock pot with just enough water for cooking and simmer it for a bit...

    That is odd. The on/off switch for our solar charger is on the bottom of the unit. I guess yours is on top?

    Expanding size of coop+adding roost

    I agree with @DobieLover. If you are going to build a small shed on one end of your run, why not just buy a used shed? For 5 birds you need a minimum of 5 feet of perch space, although if they are like mine they will all cuddle together on one end of the perch in winter. I used a wooden closet...

    ...Coffee is brewing. Dogs are out for their morning run. Cats are already eating - they have me well-trained! I am getting the chicken food ready to take out to them. We will have left over blueberry clafoutis for breakfast. It’s warmed up outside compared to yesterday- 18*F with wind chill of...

    how to get rid of a hawk killing my chickens

    I keep my birds in a roofed outdoor run due to all the predators we have around here. Since they can’t forage, I bring them armloads of weeds from the garden. It’s not the same, but they get lots of varied nutrition and enjoy scratching and pecking through those goodies. And their yolks are as...

    So I tried a new recipe today, using a fresh pineapple. Pineapple Crisp It’s made like an apple crisp, but with cubed pineapple. Very tasty and a nice accompaniment with ham.
