    Coop upgrade

    Builders sand, from our local mulch place, we get about 1/2 a scoop in our little dump trailer. Then another right before winter.

    Coop upgrade

    I use sand, my soil here in North Carolina is mostly clay. The sand has been great for my garden. Sand drains well, dries fast. I just use a scoop to strain the poop, and add additional sand when it starts to get low. Works great for me.

    Ideas on moving 5 week old chicks in the coop

    Welp I did it, I moved them to the coop. Did not go well, so I took part of the run and housed them separate. Old Rubbermaid tub for house and they can look at the older sisters without getting pecked!

    Help with sexing EE

    I have another suspicious 5 week old. I’m thinking my purchase of 6 pullet EE’s might actually have been more cockerels than pullets! Thank you in advance!!

    Ideas on moving 5 week old chicks in the coop

    I have 3 CQ’s that I got about 4 weeks ago, pullets just reaching laying stage (1 lays). I have 6 chicks that are 5 weeks old. Can I move them into the coop with the 3 older ones? I am hearing 2 weeks of getting used to each other. I don’t really have a way to keep them separate. Ideas?

    When to offer crushed oyster shell and opening the nest boxes

    I have 7 pullets that are 18 weeks old. I noticed this morning my Buff Orpington and one of my Wellsummer's combs have turned quite red. I know that this is a sign that they are preparing lay. I haven't noticed any crouching or squatting, but have not spent my usual 1 hour so each evening...

    Eggs exploding while boiling

    They do best when you cook them from room temperature. The reason they are exploding the internal temperature of the egg is colder than the water. Either take them from the refrigerator and put them in really cold water, then start to boil. Do not bring them to a ROLLING boil, meaning once...
