    I've been spending most of my morning trying to find housing solutions for my useless nephew. At one point I heard one of my chickens screaming her head off out there. Very distressed. It sounded a lot like one of the bantams when I lock her in the broody breaker. But nobody's locked in the...

    You meant to write 'week', not 'day' I'm sure. ;) Yes. My brother-in-law tends to be my go-to guy when it comes to making sure things get done correctly. He's a lot like me that way. He likes to do his own stuff and he wants it done right and if you're going to do it with me, do it right or...

    Good morning Cafè. Coffee is ready. We made it through one whole day without an accident. I cringe to think what it's going to be like when I'm gone for 3 weeks in February. C is going to have to go full on adult and PAY ATTENTION to Bella and put her out regularly. When he's home, he spends...

    What humidity level is ideal in winter? Below 80% below 50% etc?

    How old are the chicks? I have never brooded indoors. The chicks always do better outside. I've brooded chicks outside when night time temps have dropped into the low 20's. If you have a brooder plate, I would set them up outside to finish brooding. They will acclimate to their environment...

    What humidity level is ideal in winter? Below 80% below 50% etc?

    You want the inside of the coop humidity to be as close to the outdoor humidity as possible. You should have a second sensor set up outside the coop in a sheltered area and monitor it to compare to the conditions in the coop. It would be very interesting to monitor the humidity with no birds in...

    This kind of thing is why I designed the house the way I did. It is frustrating, yes, but very easy to clean up after her. Both of her beds are waterproof and so is my floor. Her diet leaves firm, dry stool that is easy to clean as well. But I am going through sanitizing spray and paper towels...

    Coop Heater Advice

    Being below freezing in a well ventilated coop for an Orpington is not going to require supplemental heat. Chickens keep themselves warm by fluffing their outer feathers to trap in their body heat. As long as they have a dry and very well ventilated coop with the ventilation going over their...

    Good morning Cafè. Coffee is ready. Bella had started to really struggle with incontinence. Both bowel and bladder. We stopped at the vet in the way home for Incurin (estriol) at 1mg daily. Could go up to 2 daily. I've always had success with phenylpropanol amine (PPA) known as Proin with my...
