    Go Simple and keep it simple/ Less is better / Think about cleaning it

    We talk to alot of people who say, I wish I would have thought about cleaning my coop before I built it.... Before you start building that coop remember, Every time you add a shelf, a door, a crack or a seam you add a spot for poop to build up, stick to and hide. The best coop is the simplist to...

    Coop idea.. would this work?

    I Agree, Great Idea, I build and sell alot of Coops. The best ones are the ones easy to clean, Looks good in the yard, and gets the birds out of the wind and Rain. Yours will do it all. Just put in the roost bars and a nest box for each silkie. Silkies are lazy. They will be in the coop sleeping...

    MITES! I'm so *sick* of mites on my banty cochin!!

    Hi, stop Using the seven. Dip the the legs in old motor oil. They get under the leg scales and lay eggs. The mits you see will only live for a short time. you have to kill the eggs and the seven will just make your birds sick. After you dip the leggs, get some baby oil in a spray bottle and mist...

    Right to Farm Act

    Hi, The Right to farm law is different in every state. The two best versions, Michigans and Iowa's both protect any place, not just old farms from ordanance and zoning rules. Most of the other states only protect the larger ones. You can read a copy of Michigans Law at...

    Are chicks even remotly likely to give me diseases like salmonella?

    They don't take showers and they sleep in their poop. If sammy exists on your property, and you handle the birds, Its to late anyway. You'll get the poop's and be healthier for it. I seen a CDC study once that said that the healthiest kids come from farms. So, don't suck your thumb and wash...

When our birds egg production takes a dip, we give them a hand full to give them a pick me up. Don't need...

    Mites causing illness and death?

    Sounds to me like they were in the heat, and then got cold? The black spots at frost bit, not mites. If they have worms, the will get weaker and weaker over time, Not in a day or week. Mites would have to engulf the entire bird for death and you wouldn't have to guess, You would Know. Some of...

    Hi all, Hope you all don't take this wrong but, you need to read up!!

    A Code is more like a rule, or I guess you could say, because it Is inforceable, it is the weakest form of a law. That is why it is enforced by a code officer and until lately, he wasn't even sworn in. If it were considered a law, Why don't the police come tell you to get rid of your chickens...

    Hi all, Hope you all don't take this wrong but, you need to read up!!

    A code or Ordanance is not a Law. A law is created at the state level. There is a law that gives city's a right to Enforce Ordanances/Codes, Not Laws. The city is only exercising their right to enforce or make you fall in line. A state law Trump's any ordanance/code and a federal law Trump's a...

In Michigan the right to farm LAW gives you the right to Raise anything useful to mankind as long as it is commercial in nature and you practice GAAMP's even if you live in a...
