I had been using (2)55 gallon barrels to store feed, but while remodeling my coop recently I have discovered that that the weight has caused some unwanted settling. I like to keep at least one of the barrels full, approx. 250-300lbs, so I am not running to the feed store every week. What is...

I can get feed through my local co-op, and have in the past. I'm starting over this year and am curious if the pellet feed from TSC, FFH or that type of place would be a better option. The co-op feed looks sort of like cornmeal, I've asked before and have been told that it's all natural and...

I'm currently remodeling my coop (hoping to finish before chicks in mid-April), I used to have ladder style roosting but am planning to change to one height with dropping boards underneath for easier clean-up. I have a 12×16 shed converted to my coop, 12×12 is chicken space. 4×12 is storage...

I'm curious, and don't understand the genetics but am really intrigued. Would a gold laced Wyandotte roo cross with a silver laced Wyandotte hen (or GLW hen x SLW roo) result in a blue laced red ? Where might an individual find this genetic information Thanks!

I'm new to chickens, I've ordered some chicks from our local co-op but I am also interested in getting a few different breeds from the local TSC or Farm & Home store to add some diversity to our flock and the egg basket. Is this okay, or will it cause any problems? Our order from the co-op...

Hello all, We've recently moved into the country and I have always wanted chickens. We placed an order last Friday with our local feed store for 50 barred rock hens and 3 barred rock roosters they are supposed to arrive April 12th. We've never kept chickens before, I'm sure we're taking on...
