Hi! I am unsure of the age of my pullets (farmer only told me 12-16 weeks). One of my pullets, an Araucana, seems larger than the others -- and more mellow. She is the first and only one that is dust bathing. Does the bathing indicate she is older than the others?

Pretty cool idea! http://www.boingboing.net/2009/09/01/alan-grahams-automat.html

Hi! We just got some pullets this past weekend. How long will it take to "befriend" them? They are pretty calm, but don't come running when I come to the coop or anything that I hear other chickens do. Will it affect the process since they were pullets and not chicks when we got them...

Sorry for the delay in getting this posted. I completed the retrofitting of our wooden slat playhouse just in time for the pullets to come home on Sat. First, I put ODB inside all the walls, door, and window shutters: I also built an interior nestbox that is accessible from the outside...

We currently have a capped (non-used) sprinkler head in our new chicken coop/run area. Has anyone ever figured out a way to use the sprinkler system to provide water to the chickens via pressure valve, etc to fill the waterers? Lori

Hi! So our conversion from wooden playhouse to coop is underway. We have gutted the interior: And removed the roof which we discovered already has tar paper down the center (not the apex or the overhang): And here's the almost-finished run (6'x7'x4'): And look what we found buried...

Hi! I am starting the process of turning my kids' unused wooden playhouse into a coop. It is currently under our two Giant Sequoias in the back yard: It will remain under the boughs of the trees when the chickens arrive. It isn't as tightly made as I remember, and that is my main...

I'm just getting started with all this chicken business, and looking for a reputable breeder/hatcher <grin> near me in Carson City, NV. Would be willing to travel to Reno/Tahoe or northern CA if necessary..... Some of the breeds I'm contemplating: Brahma Easter Eggers Delaware Jersey Giant...

Hello everyone! My family and I live in Carson City, NV. I had 2 egg-laying chickens (Plymouth Rock) growing up, and always wanted to have some now that I have two daughters (ages 7 and 10). I haven't been able to until now because of local codes. Well, Carson City just passed a new...
