    Roosting on top of the EcoGlow

    This is my first time using the Eco Glow. The older chicks love to roost on it. Should I put a hand towel on top of the EcoGlow to make it easier to clean the poo? If not, what is the best method for cleaning it?

    Chicks Dropping like Flies

    My chicks are still dropping like flies even though I got Ampril and oxytetracycline. The first two chicks died before any sign of sniffling and sneezing. This is my third incubated batch and had a 100% hatch rate. I also had six Ameracauna chicks from a friend. The eggs came from two other...

    Snoring Rooster

    Can a rooster snore? I have a big silver-laced Wyandotte roo who snores. I was worried it was an upper respiratory infection, but there is no discharge. Plus he only does it when roosting. So bizarro.

    What do you think: Planet Waves Humidipak

    Temp/humidity Calibration Help Needed for Newbie-Urgently

    So I got a Hovabator, 48-eggs with fan. It also came with an egg turner but I have to buy a new motor for it ... it's on its way. My dilemma ... I bought a thermomter/humidity sensor from Walmart. It has a probe, but the probe only measures temp, not humidity. So I wedged the thing in the...

    Couldn't resist this little guy

    He was all by himself at the feed store. Apparently an owner returned an entire flock, and only he was left: He is so fluffy and cute. Irresistable. And sort of ugly ... but in a, well, fluffy kind of way. From what I've read, Silkies have dark eyes. He has some fluffy feathers, but...

    Pullet resting on hocks/Walking Funny

    One of my barred Plymouth Rocks is sitting on her hocks, getting up and walking around like an egret in deep water. Could she have an egg working its way out? It would be her first.

    Mesquite Trees and Seed Pods

    My new flock lives under a beautiful mesquite tree. When they free range, they love, love, love the leaves, live or dead. They don't seem to show any interest in the mesquite seed pods, curiously. I know mesquite can be turned into flour. Horses love them, but if you have a horse prone to colic...

    Adding on and up to existing run

    I am currently using this structure as a rabbit hutch. (It came with them.) My current Hen House is too small for the four, despite the advertisement: This is my current rabbit hutch: The hutch on the inside is free standing, and the plywood covers a hole. I'd like to expand up. My...

    I'm new in Tucson, AZ

    Hi! My name is Jessica. I live in Tucson, AZ. When we moved to a house with almost an acre this January I bought a 4-chicken coop at Costco and got four chicks from a feed store. I bought two "Americanas" and two Plymouth Barred Rocks. The Americanas were named De-Nice and A-Aron. I named the...
