    Brooder Expansion ideas?

    We've got the largest rubbermaid container we could find, but quickly our 8 baby chicks (2 weeks) are getting too big. Any idea how to make the existing brooder bigger? We thought about cutting a whole in the side and making a "tunnel" over to another box or another container to increase the...

    Are Raw Eggs OK?

    I've had a raw egg as part of a Japanese dish in Japan (could have been a duck egg, however). I'm still alive 5 years later. I suspect their stomaches can handle it too.

    Chickens got loose!

    We have something more secure, but this was a temporary quarantine until we had them long enough to put in our main coop with the rest of the adult chickens. Only had 4 weeks of quaranteen left. I'm still hopeful we'll find at least a few of the 6.

    Chickens got loose!

    So a strong gust of wind yesterday decided that we'd start an experiment with free range a bit early....while everyone was off at work (it removed a section of the wall). Haven't seen the chickens yet (all about 8-11 weeks). We left their heat lamp on yesterday and again to night. So far no...

    Can you rent farmland?

    I'm currently reading "Hobby Farming for Dummies" and the author seems to suggest that you can lease farmland. She references agriseek.com, but I did not find it particularly helpful in finding that kind of information. Anyone know how to find some farm leasing opportunities in the local area?

    Talk Radio. Does it work as a predator deterrent?

    I've seen a few posts about people putting on talk radio to keep predators away. Has anyone actually done this, does it actually work, and what kind of predators do you have where you are.

    Please Post pics of Gravity Feeders/Waterers

    Wondering if people could post pictures of gravity feeders or waterers they've used and how successful they've been to keep the poop out and the feed/water in. I guess this could also go under "feeding/watering your flock", but I thought it was more design related.

    Our new freeze proof gravity waterer....sort of

    you can get them from just about any hatchery. We got ours from Randall Burkey in a package of 12, so we have extas if they do get nasty. We tried a 2 liter bottle, but the pressure was too much so we stuck with normal 16.9 oz water bottles and just did two of them so we can change them out...

    Welsummer, Black Copper Marans, and Australorps

    Anyone know a hatchery that sells Welsummer pullets, Black Copper Marans pullets, and Australorp pullets? We are looking to get all 3, but are having trouble finding a place that carries all 3 breeds.

    Our new freeze proof gravity waterer....sort of

    Took some getting used to, but once the big waterer outside froze, they started using these that we put inside the coop. Keeps from freezing, and they don't seem to be able to poop in it like the other ones
