    Pix of Deep litter runs soil

    This is the soil right outside my chickens run. Our soil is VERY sandy as you can see. I have tried putting sand in my chickens pen and I did not like it. I spent hours out there scooping poop out of it and in just a weeks time the smell was horrible. Standing up I could even smell it. Anyway...

    Heritage Mohawk RIR's

    I am wondering IF there is a thread on here for someone wanting to LEARN about their breed (in the title) and where we can discuss and ask questions and not argue over production breed vs. heritage? :-) I'd like to learn more about my breed and talk to people that have my breed and ask questions...

    New Chicken pen maybe?

    Thinking about putting some boards up on this and making me another pen out of it. Wanting to raise some roosters and butcher them so this would be a good place for that I think. Going to take the stones out and put in deep litter.

    Pix of my chicken house and their run

    This used to be for my ducks and it actually started out to be a dog house and then found out the poor dog had to be a house dog since he couldn't stand the heat in the summer. So after that I got ducks and we added on and we added on and well you get the point. This is the south side of the...

    Coop with the ROOST shelf inside with PDZ in it?

    I was reading a couple nights ago about roost and saw someone that had a really cute coop an Amish built one I believe and they had a poop shelf in it. Trying to find it now and can't remember if it was on here or not. Thought it might ring a bell with some of you and you can help me find it...

    BEE......... details please on Deep Litter Method

    Bee would you please tell me what you do to obtain the deep litter method in your coop? Mine would be in my run with no roof on it except for the poultry wire so it would get wet when it rains. I'm reading so much stuff on this and I have no clue which way to go with it. I know I wouldn't need...

    Feeding fermented food and feather ?

    I have noticed since I started feeding my chicks the fermented food their feathers are looking oilier now. Is this them just growing up some or is it the fermented food making them look like this. Seems like they have gotten much darker but it just could be due to the oilier look to the...

    I am wondering if they would be able to get away from our cats if they got after them at this age? Was wanting to let them free range more than what I do but I can't sit out there all day long to allow them to free range. Just wondering at what age would they be safe from the cats? We have 3...

    Poop hammock, with a different take

    Well I got their poop hammock made and actually almost made 2 of them. All I lack with the second one are the sides that I decided I might need on there. Actually I think right now it's ok but when I start to take it down will be the problem. Some of the poop might fall out the ends. Anyway this...

    Feed my chicks in?

    What could I use for a feeder for my chicks? Their heads have gotten bigger now and it's hard for them to get the food out of the little ones you buy. I wanted to make one from a 5 gallon bucket and a metal pan but never have gotten the metal pan yet. They are scratching around in it and...
