    My ghetto chicken coop.

    Hi friends, check out the coop I built out of a discarded crib and the storage bin food weather protector and laying box. I've added LOTS of ventilation, as it's starting to get hot in Australia. I insulate it a little more during cooler months with some flooring, but we are likely to hit...

    Mild tail deformity, any suggestions?

    Hi all, I just hatched this chick, 3 days late with very slight assistance, it was halfway zipped and struggling, so it went into some paper towel and clean polar fleece, into my heated blanket to help chip away the rest of the shell and soften the membrane.

    First hatch of the season, guess that chick!

    We are in our second week of Spring here in Australia, and this afternoon I was greeted by this beautiful little chick in my incubator, hopefully the first of a few more yet!
