    Goodwill - Inexpensive parts for "COOKIE TIN WATER HEATER" for this winter

    I have used the cookie tin with light bulb for 4 years and have not had one problem. I use the wood chips on my coop floor. I have left them on continually for a good 3 months without turning them off. I have used both plastic waterers and galvanized waterers.

    Taking Chicks Outside To Play

    I haven't had a chance to get them out yet. Right now there brooder is a large wire dog cage. I have an actual brooder, but hubby built it outside and couldn't get it in the spare room it needs to be in. I was hoping he would get the run built for it so they could enjoy outside more. I can...

    Milk flush for coccidiosis

    I don't know anything about bran. Would I buy wheat bran or oat bran? Is this the bran I would need? http://www.walmart.com/ip/Bob-s-Red-Mill-Unprocessed-Miller-s-Wheat-Bran-10-oz-Pack-of-4/17340181

    Taking Chicks Outside To Play

    I hate the thought of going to buy a 50 lb bag of feed for $18.54 that is medicated. I still have a 20 lb unopened bag of the starter/grower that cost me $8.47. I won't have to open it until tonight or Tuesday night. I had a few sample bags that I got in TS kits of the starter/grower that I have...

    New Chicks are here!!!

    Having a hen hatch a baby is a miracle here. We love going out checking to see if there are babies. We only let a broody have 2 or 3 eggs at a time. So precious when we find the new babies.

    Taking Chicks Outside To Play

    I would be sitting out with them. I got a 5' cardboard corral in a kit from TS. I haven't been able to find anything to put over the top to keep them safe out there on their own. I also have a Chick-N-Hutch for them, but the run hasn't been built for it yet.

    Taking Chicks Outside To Play

    No, they aren't. That's another thing I did differently this time. I have always had them on medicated chick starter. This time I started them out on starter/grower.

    Taking Chicks Outside To Play

    It's about 85* out. I was wondering if I could take my 4 chicks that are 2-1/2-3 weeks old outside to play in the grass. I have always kept them inside in the brooder until 8-9 weeks old. Thought maybe I would do things different this time and allow some play time outside whenever I can.

    Waterers

    I use a small waterer that came in a kit from Tractor Supply that measures in ml's. I give my 4, they are 2-1/2 to 3 weeks old, 300 ml once a day of water with electrolytes. There is always some water left when I wash and refill.

    Water Not Freezing?

    We use cookie tins with a light bulb in them and sit the water container on it. We used the light bulb socket and cord from an old lamp. There are threads on here about them.

    Eggs and Medicated Feed

    I put some of my younger chicks out with my laying hens. My one child has been giving them the medicated feed instead of the starter/grower. How harmful are the eggs to us? We have used quite a few in cooking/baking, but not as just plain cooked eggs. Should I start throwing them out? Thank you

    Laying Questions

    I never even thought of worms being the problem since the younger ones are laying fine. I haven't wormed since who knows when I thought older chickens taking longer to adjust and get back into cycle after cold, shorter light hours and little to no outside time. Thank you! I will have to do...
