    Poop board convert *warning-graphic/gross poop pictures*

    I use the PDZ and I only use about 3-4 inches under the roosts.....then add to it when needed. Best thing is that you should never have to completely replace it...just a little at a time. Works great for me. I also added a bag of "Play" sand under the PDZ to help with the cost since it is...

    Need Advice on Litter

    I use Pine wood shavings in the coop and in the run I have spread out straw to help keep the mud situation down...it works great for me. I do think the pine shavings will take a little longer to compost, but all in all it's a great bedding in the coop. I use the deep litter method and I have...

    Chickens and Homeowners insurance??

    Thing is there are a lot of animals (including dogs) that carry diseases.....and you are more likely to get bit by a dog than a chicken!!!

    new layers

    I have 8 chickens and someone is starting to lay eggs....they were all hatched the end of January. My question is when will the egg production become regular? and how long before their eggs have any size to them...so far I am only getting eggs from one Hen (possible my Black Sex-link) and it's...

    Chicken Dust?

    I use Pine shavings for the bedding, then under the roosts I have Sweet PDZ granular, with sand underneath...I know they have been dust bathing in the sweet PDZ and that may be creating some of the dust, but I had hoped that the granular would keep that to a minimum. Once they are able to go...

    Chicken Dust?

    Thanks for the reply, I was not sure if it was directly related to them getting their feathers or if it had to do with dust bathing? I guess once they are spending more time outside it will subside some......thanks again

    Chicken Dust?

    I have 8 chicks 4 weeks old...they are creating so much dust it is rediculous. Is this something that will go away once the chicks are fully feathered? I have ventilation for them, but now I am concerned it may not be enough. Everything inside the coop is covered with a layer of dust. Any...

    1st Order Comes this Week! (They are here, PICS!)

    So cute, you might try giving them a little sugar water to help perk them up after the stress of shipping. I also give my chicks the ACV and that helped a lot with pasty butt. I would add a tablespoon or two of sugar to a quart of water, make sure it disolves completely. Then the Apple cider...

    Welcome to Club Yoke! (new pics page 7)

    Amy, when the chicks are just barely over 2 weeks old you will be amazed at how big they are....mine are about 1/2 way feathered out and about triple the size they were when they were 5 days old....they grow soooo fast

    2 week old chick concerns

    Thank you both for your responses and encouraging information....I do not watch over them as they are outside in the coop, which I have set up as a brooder...whenever I have looked in on them which is 3-4 times per day, I have never noticed any other chicks picking on her, so I feel somewhat...
