    I've seen one here, but I'd be watching to see if there is any cheaper source. http://www.mcmurrayhatchery.com/accessories_for_processing_poultry.html

    Brooder question

    Last spring was our first year with chickens, both meaties and layers. We didn't know better and put the brooder in our playroom. By the time they were ready to go out to their tractor, their was a thin layer of "dust" on everything in the room (nasty). So this year we are only doing meaties...

    How different is raising chickens compared to duck?

    One more question- regarding predators....Won't they fly away if predators are trying to come after them? Wild ducks are very aware it seems and fly at first warning something is wrong.

    How different is raising chickens compared to duck?

    Thanks so much for your reply. It gives me a lot to think about. Do they lay eggs once a day like chickens? I'm not sure hubby will want to donate more time this year building a duck hut considering he still has to finish a few things on the coop lol. I think next spring might be better for...

    How different is raising chickens compared to duck?

    We have 8 chickens right now (started last spring) and we love them. They have a nice coop and run, but free range during the day. We also have a 1/2 acre pond and thought about getting a few (2) ducks for pets. Do they need a "coop" too or do they just act like wild ducks and sleep where ever?

    Some of the flock still not laying

    Has anyone experienced anything similar? Their food is the best you can buy and they have an awesome coop so I know for a fact their living conditions aren't the issue.

    Some of the flock still not laying

    I got 7 BA and 1 Americana last March. I know 4 are laying and have been for months! The other 4 have not layed and now that's it's winter, will they? Or is it hopeless until spring? Is something wrong with them or does it take some longer than others?

    Need Legal Advice about a chicken coop

    Make sure you fix the fencing and plant grass seed where it was and TAKE PICTURES to show that you put the property back to the way it was. In fact, take a lot of pictures of the house and yard as you left it so if anything does arise, you have proof. And I sure as heck would take my OWN...

    Christmas lights.

    I put some of the isicle lights around my run both for the decoration and to encourage laying during the dark winter hours. I'll have to post when hubby gets the electrical hooked up out there!

    What do you guys think of this coop?

    I think it's a great start, but I would modify it. I think it is worth buying just for the materials/base of what you want. I would add slanted metal roof, and put the nesting boxes on the outside and lower.

    Whine, Whine, Whine...why aren't my Araucanas laying?

    I got a an araucana with 7 black autralorps and she is significantly smaller than the other girls and her comb is still small and not red. I wonder if they are a slower developing breed? Does anyone know?

    What do you use for a scald pot?

    Love the turkey fryer for this. It's perfect size and has a thermometer so you can keep track of the temp. Got ours on CL for $30!
