    Eating feathers

    Never thought I'd say this, but I think I'm ready to throw in the towel on keeping chickens. This flock, which has been flawless for over a year and a half... so healthy, so productive, so gentle and friendly, have resorted to eating other alive. I have tried everything suggested everywhere...

    I decided to leave this tarp up over the open pen, from winter time. I'm now wondering if they are not getting enough sunlight.

    Bald bellies but don't see signs of lices or mites...help

    Almost all of my hens have had bald bellies (just below their vents) and a couple have a little balding on the back and front of their necks, for a several weeks now. I have inspected them over and over and have never found any signs of mites or lice. I chalked it up to molting but I'm...

    Farm Innovators C-250 De-Icer slime issue

The de-icers work well to keep the water in the containers from freezing, but after a few days, the they start to develop of clear gelatin slime on the cast aluminum ring and the end of...

    Easy DIY Heated Waterer

    Agreed. So, I have two heated waterers running. One is a 5 gal bucket with nipples on the bottom, which has a bucket de-icer in it. That's the one that died on me, frozen solid. The other one is a larger container, with nipples on the side (toward the bottom) and that one also has a de-icer...

    Solar Lighting

    So, I have 2 roosting bars in my coop and I noticed that these new pullets weren't using them. Instead, they would all bunch up in one corner, practically on top of each other. I researched why that might be on here with my friends at BYC and read some posts by very experienced folks. I read...

    Solar Lighting

    I wanted a solar powered light, with auto dusk to dawn control, for my chicken coop. I also wanted this light to be subtle and not too bright. I wanted just enough light to provide some dimmer lighting in the coop to help the girls find their way safely to the roosting bars. These lights are...
