    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Before full light or half dark/full dark seemed to be best. When I took the screamer out (I think the one that ultimately passed), it was full light....and Cardhu went for me due to the chick in distress call.

    Brooder size

    More space is always better, especially if there's clutter and things to go under/perch on above. Broodies have the chicks out and about learning their environment from the moment they come off the nest. Babies are learning, learning what's good to eat, learning alarm calls (both from the flock...

    You showed some serious restraint! The subsequent posters turned that whole thread into a hilariously entertaining read on my lunch break today!! Thank you!

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    The blondie is on my watch list. The dark chick pics (not shared with blondie) are the same chick, and was on my suspect list a week ago, at just 2 weeks old. He's got color in the comb, is straight combed, and I'm 98% sure at 3 weeks. Blondie is on the watch list and only just landed there. I'm...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    That's a project for several years in the building/more in planning. Ventilation, plumbing, and lighting/heat. If we're going to do it, do it right.

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Managed to catch a few pics...this little fellow is getting color no shoulder color yet, but I'm pretty sure is just a matter of time. this one's on my watch list. A not straight comb makes it more challenging as a close examination isn’t feasible. With the golden blonde color, the red shoulder...

    All My Chickens..... a coop opera!

    If the "paint sprayer" for the brown can lighten over a laying season to a light cream/tan (mine have done this), then I suppose it's possible that the "paint sprayer" didn't work at all, or was so light as to be non-existent.

    Door build update: At a pause: drill is battery powered and BOTH batteries are dead. Wood is cut, rough sanded and waiting on drilling holes so can assemble (after trip back to town to exchange uncut wood due to warps/knots: warp removers don't exist, and I'm not going to battle that too)...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    A lip of 3-6 inches is a good idea. They like to walk along and peer inside (at least here). They also like to think about a box first. The ones at my In Laws are a bank with the bottom sitting almost on the ground. The upper bank they can peer into from the ground. It doesn't have a lip to walk...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Well, just loaded it all back in the truck. Starting with warped wood isn't conducive to a good finish. The Habitat For Humanity store opens at 10 so heading in to return the wood and see what I can find door wise. If I can't find anything, will go back for the thickest plywood I can find and...
