    Could you please tell me what the problems were that you experienced with concrete? And with the dirt floor, is dampness a problem when it rains?

    Los Angeles County - Lancaster City (Codes included in text)

    In the city of Long Beach, the city ordinance applies rather than the L.A. County rule. There's an active group of people trying to get the Long Beach ordinances changed. You might check with Long Beach Grows at www.longbeachgrows.org. Also, I believe the Long Beach Office of Sustainability...

    How much does it cost to raise a meat chicken?

    When I compare the cost of a homecooked meal to buying the same meal in a restaurant, I count the cost of the food I buy to make it, and I know it costs me less. I don't count the cost of the kitchen I cook it in, or the electric lights, or my labor, or the dishes I serve it on. In a pinch, I...

    I like the shower cap idea. It would be easy to sew a cap to fit, with elastic to hold it on. You could even add a couple of ribs for stability if you wanted. And it would be washable. Or how about cutting a ring out of plywood, just big enough to make a collar around the top of the bucket...

    What else makes a noise like a chicken?

    It wouldn't be likely to be on the ground, but we have black-capped night herons around here that sound like a chicken in distress. They call before they set out for the night and again when they're settling in to roost for the day. I don't know if an owl would take on a black-capped night...

    How much Diatomaceous Earth per 50 lbs. of feed?

    Note the "worms" they tested for are not that common in chickens, and don't cause much of a problem for them. They counted on most people not knowing that, I guess So it's your contention that the Avian Research Centre at the University of British Columbia is part of some pro diatomaceous earth...

    How much Diatomaceous Earth per 50 lbs. of feed?

    Hi, everyone. I'm a long time reader/lurker on this forum, but I've never joined before because I don't have chickens. I'd like to someday, but it won't be in the near future, so I content myself with learning as much as I can from more experienced people. But I found something that pertains...
