Building the coop for my laying hens. It is very warm here now, but will this be adequate for COLD Iowa winters? Or should I make it warmer, somehow? BTW.. I know it looks crooked, but our boards are level.. it's the ground and pre-existing building that are extremely crooked
Our nearest processor is over an hour away, so I want to make the trip with volume, rather than frequently. How would you guys recommend as the most cost efficient way to transport 300 broilers to the processor? They won't all fit in the back of our truck
Anyone ever ordered Bourbon Reds from McMurray? Was it a satisfactory experience? I am looking to get about 50 poults and wondering where a good place to purchase them would be.
I am new to chickens and looking for a good brooder set-up. The chicks I want to order are $60/each, so I want minimum risk/loss. I stumbled across this brooder plan and was wondering if anyone has tried it or has thoughts on it. Any advice would be appreciated...
Hello,
My name is Pepper, and I live on a small acreage in the midwest. I am super excited to start raising chickens of my own this spring/summer. I have been trying to do all the research I can and have found SO much information from this site. I love being able to read about your experiences...
