We love ours. Had 5/6 survive. It was very easy to use.

I have several Black Coppers. They are big and they have also been really friendly chickens. Much more than my other breeds. I think the special part is probably the egg color. The hens aren't exceptional looking but they are my favorites at this point.

Good luck. We have a coyote that sits in our yard at times and watches our coop.

Bake the sweet potatoes in the oven with the peel. When they are done peel them and slice them. Lay them in a baking dish. Put butter and brown sugar and bake for a bit. Put the mini marshmallows on top. Put them back in the oven until they are slightly melted and brown on top. I...

Great story.

We had two roos. One was very rough with the ladies. He made our hens very nervous to go in the coop. Some of them started staying out at night. When he started mounting our rabbit (quite the sight) it was time for him to go. The local feed store took him back for us. Within a day our...

We put our chicks in a small (4 ft) drinking trough. We put the heatlamp on the edge of the trough facing down and in and a blanket over the top. The heatlamp really heats up the metal and makes it really toasty.

None of our hens have laid before 6 months.

We've used mouse traps in the corners. We switched from shavings to sand in part of the coop. We also moved the water onto the cement floor. It was in the bedding area and the mice were nesting under the container. We also had an old stump for the chickens to hang out on. We had to remove...

Ours hatched over a 2-3 day period. Most of them had the peep hole for at least 24hrs. It was very hard but we didn't open the incubator until all the eggs hatched. On day 3 we removed 5 of 6 to the brooder and left the last one in the incubator.

Our rooster sleeps on a flat surface. He prefers to sleep there. It's above the roosting boxes. He has ramp to get up there.

We have a male rabbit (Harlequin) with our chickens and one rooster. They get along really well. He had one special chicken friend last spring that he was very protective of. The rabbit would not let any of the other chickens eat before Henny. He followed her everywhere. He was frantic when...
