Since I have in my garage bruooder with 36 chicks, it was quite fast getting them set up in the extra bird cage that I had. Store employees told me to feed them non medicated chicken crumbs and that’s what they got. I will reed and educate myself but I need help quickly if I’m doing something...
Hi, I bought 15 (received 19) chicks from GFF last Wednesday and I’m expecting another shipment next Wednesday. I hope you don’t mind me tagging along as I’m new to Bresse breed. I splurged on them figuring that thats enough to have my pick for the breading stock. My intention is to go the...
I know, if they were not born on French soil , French demand not to be called so. Since they are direct import lines they are still genetically indentical to French. Thank you, I’m getting another shipment next week.
Technically since they are born on American soil they are American Bresse. Short answer wo be that they are Rolls Royce off the chicken world (meat quality).
I ordered French Bresse from Greenfire farm and they arrived this morning . We had a snow storm yesterday and I was pretty worried but they arrived in excellent condition. I ordered 15 and received 19 !!!!! I’m so sooooo excited!!!!
We own construction and design companies and that is the reason I can run freely with my ideas And materials. It’s still going to be overwhelming because I still have to do my “work “ projects.
Thank you. This is not my first rodeo either it will be my 4th coop.Right now I have 2 4x8 coops in the large run and I’m quite satisfied with it. We are under contract for another much larger property (18 acres) and no structures that I can start with. That purchase came from nowhere and I’m...
You are right, I’m look’ing for info inspiration and advise for I have until beginning of October to have my plans in order. I’m very grateful to each and every one of you for every bit and every picture you provide. If we can have fun while at it, even better.
Seams to me that woods coop is preferred choice to majority of people, I was wondering why exactly? Please elaborate.
The barn windows are facing west the future coop(red cube) will face south and the whole grass area will be fenced off.
Thank you for your input . Poop boards , for example. Would you have nesting areas build under poop boards? How high would be realistically ideal board hight? Ventilation, fans good or bad idea? Windows, I’m imagining almost sun room!!! Overkill???? I was pretty sure what I “needed “ in the...
Wire will be underground with 8 to 12in of dirt on top of it. Right now I have 18in on top of the wire and it’s been keeping predators out. I don’’t close their door unless extremely cold. The barn is 36x24 and it will be for the horses and goats and … will see😂.
I’m fortunate enough to be in position to finally build whatever I want coop. In order to do forever coop I would ask for ideas and guidance from you fine people. Many heads together are better than one. I have access to pretty much any material and space is not a problem. I have general idea...
I go with a flow , had a chicken called Geese, Donkey, Piggy and so on . My grown up group answers to being called Girls (that’s theirs food call) and youngest group (bantam) are being called Frogs ,😂😂 I’m sure they will get creative names, not 😂
I have little orchard next to the coop , some 15 to 18 fruit trees. Purchased bird netting originally to protect from birds stealing fruit and somehow came up with a brilliant idea!!! Instead of wrapping the individual trees I leave the netting over the whole orchard (the netting comes in nice...
