    Midwest Coop ideas...

    Well I want to give them a nice square area and I'll undoubtely let them out of their run from time to time so that they can freerange on bugs, grubs, and crittiers with 6 or 8 legs. For the run attached to the coop I'm thinking maybe 10 feet by 20 feet more or less.

    Midwest Coop ideas...

    Ok here's the scoop. 2 years ago I had a flock of about 20 chickens in the Southwest, but now my family and I are moving to Southwestern Iowa and have bought a little ranchette. We both want to have chickens and other animals, and I'm looking for ideas on what kind of coop to build. Ideally I...

    How to cull a chick?

    I did it once when my dog mauled one of my 3 day old chicks. He was alive but suffering. I just took the non-business end of my hammer and gave him one quick strike. Quick, easy, relatively painless. I think suffocation would be much more cruel.

    Guy thinks he's getting ripped off...(UPDATED!!!)

    So yeah I ended up not selling them to the chisler and instead kept them for awhile. I won't sell them until they begin laying and then will probably unload them for about 15 bucks each. I don't want to see them go, but it is time before I get in trouble and overrun with eggs. I don't need...

    Chicken Stupidity wins badge of Honor

    Interesting and funny replies all. I posted a link to show you the type of feeder. https://www.backyardchickens.com/chicken_feeder.php I used his design and it works well, but I guess I should have put in some sort of lid originally. It is hard with those little cluckers though...they always...

    Chicken Stupidity wins badge of Honor

    All, Well I went out to my coop today to check why their feeder wasn't working, looked in the top and saw 2 chickens staring up at me. They had gotten stuck in the feeder and couldn't get out. So I pulled them out and low and behold were two more...that had passed away. I love chickens...

    Presidential debate question on Chickens

    And what happens if you purchase Sexed chickens vs. Straight Run? Is there a Tax on that? Lots of Conservatives on this site I see which is a welcome breath of fresh air even though I think the "Go Green with Chickens" would be a highly Left-Wing embraced topic don't you think?

    Shavings in brooder - how do you keep them out of the water?!

    I think as long as you use something that isn't slippery and is in one piece for the most part...wobblies won't occur in near the same proportion. I have a Japanese Bantam though thats been walking bo-legged since he hatched 2 weeks ago and I thought that I've been doing everything right. He...

    Baby chick has twisted beak...help!

    These eggs I hatched myself and I didn't notice it until it got about a week old or so and it has since gotten worse. I was selling some of my babies and the guy I sold them to wanted him crossbeak and all. He seemed pretty knowledgeable and guessed the breeds of my babies that I had to sell...

    Presidential debate question on Chickens

    So I was up tonight watching and listening to the Presidential Debates wondering if anything new and forthright was going to come out of either candidates mouths. Wasn't impressed. Anyone who has been following the politics of the last few months has heard exactly the same things that we've...

    Baby chick has twisted beak...help!

    I noticed today that one of my chicks (now 2 weeks old) has a beak that has become crooked since he/she hatched. It doesn't seem sickly, but I don't know how it would eat... I'm wondering what I should do with it and if it will survive. Should I give the little bugger a chance and let him/her...

    Guy thinks he's getting ripped off...(UPDATED!!!)

    ;)Writer, Ok I will definitely sell you a few. They will begin laying in about a month or two anyways and I'd much rather give them to you and sell them local! I don't think I need 25 chickens in the city ha ha. Also, I go up to Albuquerque for National Guard once or twice a month. They...

    Guy thinks he's getting ripped off...(UPDATED!!!)

    ...in the bator, I'm sure that I could find buyers for ALL of my hens later on...at least the ones that I can't keep due to county regulations. *sigh* ONE DAY I WILL HAVE MY MINI-FARM AND WILL HAVE ALL THE CHICKENS I WANT! BANTAMS, LAYERS, ETC! Bottomline though is that I didn't sell...
