    Questions regarding the starting of contests

    Hi there Nifty-chicken! Say, I was thinking about and wondering about starting a contest with chicken, duck, fowl and egg tattoos. Of course they would be GP rated, non-offensive tattoos but I was thinking about designing one for myself and wondered if or just how many people in this site might...

    What's the best nesting box materials?

    Hi y'all! My chicks are getting closer to laying age now. My Silver Cuckoo Maran, "Ruby", should be laying soon so I put some hay in the boxes twice now, in a design of what I thought looked like nests. I even put some ceramic eggs in them but they knocked the eggs out, and one I haven't...

    Honeydew you?

    I've been trying out all kinds of snacks on my girls from scratch grains, mowed grass, celery, lettuce leaves and cabbage stalk and leaves, trail mix, bird seed (in small quantities) and honeydew melon which is so far the winner in our flock. Oh I forgot about the mealworms. They were the by far...

    Tomatos and potatoes and the works

    I went out and tilled a bit more then put in a couple of tomato plants Early Girl and yellow pear, then I put in some walla walla starts, and some red butter lettuce starts.

    What is the best affordable roofing material for this rainy climate?

    Hi there Washington Peeps! We are coming along on the construction of our coop and I just painted the underside of the flooring. We were discussing what is the best material to keep the rain out and someone in one of the articles or forums rather mentioned Ondura roofing. What have you all used...

    Are you as confused as I am regarding which Breed to get

    I have to admit that the more I read and see the more confused I was getting as to which breed I/we should get. Part of the decision making is availability and the other for us is which is the best match for us. We prefer a hen that is more docile, that being said, it will also need to be a dual...

    Coops and runs in forested areas: What to keep and what should go

    As you can see we have woods on two sides of the pen and the vegetation is mostly from the garden area I'm working on, which I'm hand tilling since my Doctor told me I need to get more exercise, or else... . I've taken fallen limbs and put them in a kind of triangle that are being supported by...

    Are there any get togethers planned for this spring?

    Hi there! We are new to the backyard chickens and I was wondering if there are any swaps or auctions coming up in the next month or two in the Pacific Northwest such as in Elma or Chehalis. I have heard of auctions and swaps happening in Centralia or Chehalis. Do they still do them? We have so...

    What would be helpful to raise chickens if you can grow what you want?

I'm still hand tilling the soil and after reading an article about grains and feed ratio I thought I should find out what I can plant besides corn, beans, peas and sunflower seeds. I bought some amaranth seeds because they were pretty and are supposed to...

    Finally a member

    Hi y'all! We're two gals with a pen and have a chicken coop on the way. One of us wanted to build a coop but we decided to buy one and build on to it as the need arises. We are first trying to make it predator safe and we need to fix the gate and add aerial protection and what not. We are not...
