I'm very sorry about that - really - I had no idea. I don't do Facebook as a rule, and my DW looks after my FB account as my g/daughter plays the games on there. Very many thanks to everybody who has voted - I super-appreciate it very much. e2a: I have updated my original post to reflect...

...See? Told You! Pink beckons! btw thx for the free roof upgrade!

I would suggest put a tarp down first and then you take the whole lot out in one go.

e2a: Thank you! I have put the link up here to make it easier for people to find it. ***update*** Please be aware this is a Facebook page and I have just been told you have to 'like' the page before you can vote. To be honest, it sounds like a lot of work, but I am grateful for any votes you...

lol! No --- purlins is understood by all! I was amused by your techno/garbo talk - anyone who speaks with some authority (like you with purlins) can tell me mine are rotten and need replacing etc, accompanied with a huge bill! Go on, get your coop painted a beautiful pink - you know you want...

@ hannakat - will do! @rrc - check out for worms at the roots of plants, not just anywhere in the garden - you'll have much more luck

Thanks for the great pics - you must be so pleased! Purlins? You have the hallmarks of a cowboy builder! Now you should paint some 'Miss Kitty' eyes with BIG eyelashes on the coop - just to show how nice eyeliner can be anywhere!

Wow! How long does your postman take?! lol! I was thinking of the dried worms you can buy in the pet stores. Surely it must be possible to do that at home? Anyone?

Here ya go! -You can see the slit where the worms go - use a funnel for filling it. -Decide how many holes you need - obs the more holes the quicker the worms will come out - I have 4 holes and it lasts a while. -The nylon tie gives a clue on how to close the slit while providing the means...

tell you what - if you can find out if it is legal for me to post you dead mealworms, I'll do so next year after my farm is up and running.

- excited children carrying eggs will end up dropping them - some hens will be crazy! (but all will wonderful personalities!) - an escaped hen in a no-coop-zone will cause you serious embarrassment - you will need to clean the coop when it's raining/snowing/blowing a gale - you will have your...

Hey Shelleen, No need for forgiveness! I stand by my own actions! I figured boiling as a precaution against parasites, etc. If there's a next time, I shall do it raw. I shoulda thought of that anyway! fwiw; if anyone is thinking of feeding offal; do remove the bile duct - it's no good for any...

...there's nothing wrong with Lady Gaga - send her to me!

OH BOY! There's smell and there's SMELL. That was BAD. Imagine boiled poop in the worst-smelling toilet you have ever been in. I honestly don't know how my DW puts up with me; boiling that was worth a divorce. I'm guessing after the food has got past the bile duct, the smell is there to stay...

@rrc; can't you bargain with someone adult/kid/whomever? -they do your mealworm farm, you give them eggs/chicken?

@ snazzyboots - I cut a slit in the ball - I'll see if I can get a pic

thanks! yeah, it does get smelly - the windows and doors are wide open! thanks all for your kind replies! I will post here to let you know how it goes.

@ rrc, - you could wear latex gloves which will solve a lot of issues. - I have used a germinating mat and old bed-electric blanket to get the temps right for mealworm production - although you can go colder if you want to just keep them alive (I think just above freezing is the coldest as they...

Anybody in the UK who wouldn't mind posting me a tub of mealworms *please*? I will pay postage of course! I'd like to start a mealworm farm. Thanks very much.

Many thanks for your reply. Would the contents be toxic to the chickens?
