    Texas Heat HELP please!

    Does anyone have tips on dealing with the heat? We have lost 3 of 6 chickens in the past month due to the heat. We have opened up the coop at night to help with airflow and they always have water available. These are all Golden Comet chickens just under a year old. Thanks!

    Two Laying Hens - Killeen, Tx

    We have two 10 month old laying hens we are selling. They are awesome but we just have too many for our backyard. I believe they are sexlinks. $20 each or $35 for both. Delivery available in the Killeen/ Fort Hood area. We just want them to go to a good home. I will post more and better pics later.

    Does anybody use hay in their run? What do you do with the semi composted hay and manure? I was thinking of laying hay down and then building a compost bin. Once the hay and manure builds up about 6 inchs or so, I could then throw it in the compost bin to recycle into dirt for the garden. I...
