    This morning I woke up to the normal sound of my chickens doing their egg song. Normally, before going out to collect them I fix them a treat when I think that they are done laying and bring it out to them.

    Mini Chick-Bator' vs Little Giant , 9200

    I have both, and yes, I know that there is no real comparison. I purchased the Mini Chick-Bator' as my first, because it was cheap and I had no idea what I was doing so I didn't want to spend a lot of money. It only cost $12.98 and it cost to much. I couldn't even put the thing together, it...

    What Are The Pros And Cons Of My Experiment?

    First I made sure that their trough was filled with lay mash, and their water was nice and fresh. Then I put a good amount of scratch on the ground. Then I put half lay mash and half scratch in a bowl and poured bottle of beer into it. They loved it. Now I have a very happy flock. 17 of my 21...
