    I have had 3 Black australorps and 1 Red Speckled Sussex for just over a year and I normally get from 2 to 4 eggs per day. They did stop laying all together in the winter, but they have been great the rest of the year! They have very nice brown eggs that are pretty large in size. They have...

    Black Australorps

    I have of them! They are awesome layers! Mine are my least friendly, but I only have them and 3 Sussex that are older. I still have to see what happens with my little ones. They aren't not friendly, just not as friendly as the others. :p they are beautiful though! I love the greens and blues and...

    Way over my budget!

    Update on the coop! We now have the 8x8 coop almost done. We have the base, floor, two walls and roof done. We framed in the two man doors and the two raise walls today and got the whole thing tarped off since it looks like rain until the first part of the weekend. We are doing a little bit each...

    Training your chickens to move to the coop at night

    Mine did this too. O just kept moving them by hand up the ramp and onto the coop everyday. Eventually they started doing it themselves. Sent from my LS670 using Tapatalk

    Gardening with chickens (and other poultry)

    We were going to plant alfalfa between all our rows and raised beds. I'm starting to think the chicken mix would be better. Would it help keep the weeds down and also still be okay to walk on? Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

    Gardening with chickens (and other poultry)

    I'm the same way with touching the bugs. My dad came over and started squishing them all in his hand and I just couldn't take it! Even pulling them off to feed to the chickens was too much for me! I felt like they were crawling all over me for days! I'm going to have to order that book and check...

    Way over my budget!

    So we had some bad weather this weekend so we didn't get the whole thing done, but we did get all the fence posts in and part of the coop done. My brother way over calculated on the material needed so when we got most of the coop built we realized we had already bought almost enough to do tjw...

    Way over my budget!

    I do have live traps, however I also have barn cats who tend to get to them before any pests do! So they have pretty much not been of much use to us. We have made our decision and put in new order for the material that we will need! Thanks so much for all your help! We will have a busy weekend...

    Way over my budget!

    I got the number for the ReStore, and will be calling them this afternoon to get some pricing from them. I didn't even know they existed! What a great way to help the community and yourself all at the same time!! I love it!!

    Way over my budget!

    We do have plans for a chain link fence around their entire area. In fact we have already bought the material and started digging the holes. The coop does still need to be built pretty well as we have lots of different predators. I can't remember what they are called...those little ferret...

    Way over my budget!

    So I sat down with my Bill to male up the plans for the new coop today. Get the material list from him and start getting prices.....$450 to build my coop! That is not happening! I was thinking $200 tops! There is no way I'm spending that much on it! We decided to scale back a little. It will...

    Neighbors dog was here, missing guinea

    I walked out to garden and saw that the neighbors dog was in there again. Ruined some of my peas walking around. I hope he didn't bother my girls too much while I was at work. They didn't seem stressed, so I guess their okay. I'm getting really bugged by it though! I don't understand why have a...

    Utah!

    Would a surge protector with battery backup work? We use them for all the computers. I'm not sure how long the battery would last, but it might be an option. Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
