    OHio ~ Come on Buckeyes, let me know your out there!

    NickeeChickee, I would suggest reading your revised code. Here in North Olmsted (west side) it specifically lists chickens and lumps them and sheep and cows in with dogs and cats saying that they 1) can't be in public spaces 2) can't roam unattended 3) can't be noisy or be a nuisance...

    OHio ~ Come on Buckeyes, let me know your out there!

    I can definitely attest to the fact that RI Reds are NOISY. My girls are always carrying on. But they are friendly and will eat out of my hand (or try to eat my hand as the case may be . . . )

    What are you canning now?

    Tonight will be pickles. Next week hopefully peaches and peach jam. Tomato plants aren't doing much this year so I'm hoping that once I have good compost next year from my ladies that things will be better . . . will have to buy tomatoes to can this year! Hoping to get beans from my good...

    Suggestions for a fall garden

    In another couple of weeks, say the middle of august to the last week or so you can start planting the crops that like it cooler. Broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, some of that, especially if you are willing to do a little work with PVC and plastic and cover your garden area some. Also all of...

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

    I just have to chime and and thank the OP for this thread. I have done this and now that I have finally gotten about half of my feather heads to roost this has made a HUGE difference. There is almost no smell and things are nice and clean. Now if I could just get them to stop dumping over the...

    PLANNED POULTRY GUARDING DOG

    Another thing that works well, again, except around the face, is baking soda, peroxide and dish soap. Make a paste with the baking soda/dish soap. Work that into the fir or onto your skin and then dump peroxide over the whole mess and let the acid/base reaction bubble all over and break up the...

    Wondering is this chicken 'Elenore' or 'Alvin'?

    Hi all. This is my first foray into the world of chickens. Got them 13 weeks ago from Meyer. They were supposed to be all hens but now I'm wondering what the BYC folk think of our 'Elenore'. She seems more like an 'Alvin' to me . . .

    What do you know about composting?!

    ...potatoes). It is eventually broken down during the composting process. Another good book on composting is by Gene Logsdon. It is called 'Holy ****: Managing Manure to Save Mankind'. As for breaking down the bacteria, that is more a funciton of the heat of the pile than a definite set...

    Any guesses to gender/breed? PICS

    First little one I'm going with EE and roo. His legs are MUCH larger than those on my pullets and he just carries himself different. The other bantams I don't have any idea . . .

    You Know Your Chicks Have Outgrown Their Brooder When.......;)

    I know the feeling. Sounds like I got mine about the same time you got yours! I'm in Ohio too. I wish it would just warm up because mine are doing some serious flapping and I'm petrified they are going to flap themselves up into the heat lamp!

    TX minimum chick purchase at TSC

    The 6 chick minimum, as stated, is store policy but it is also sometimes a city policy too. I know that my city's revised code has specific language about not dying baby animals (think chickens, rabbits, etc) and also about that retail establishments HAVE to sell them in lots of 6 . . . we...

    Self sufficient? Not yet....

    I too am on your same mission. This is a great place for answers. My chicks are currently 2 weeks old and seem to be pretty hardy. Only lost one and I think the stock is a little wonky on that one because the surviving chick from that breed is a little 'special'. I have built a hoop house...

    What did people feed chichens before there was a feed store?

    I have read that it was often the job of the younger boys on the farm to find/get protien sources for chickens in winter. Like racoons, opossims, etc.

    My Rotties first time meeting 3 week old Chicks.

    I hope the introduction of my dogs to the chickens goes as well. If it doesn't then the invisible fence will get moved to around the chicken coup to prevent mishaps. Our full blooded rot is just over a year old so hopefully she won't want to 'play' with the chickens. The only one I'm really...
