    https://diyprojects.ideas2live4.com/2016/10/13/eggcelsior-hotel-inspired-chicken-coop/ I've been dealing with a pretty catastrophic life the last couple of years. Fire, cancer, multiple deaths, accident paralyzing family, etc...so, I'm just now getting back here. I'm so sorry for the late response.

    He built this off the top of his head; but, someone reached out to me with questions when it was first built and then created a page for the design. I'm late as all get out to responding, here; but, here you go: https://diyprojects.ideas2live4.com/2016/10/13/eggcelsior-hotel-inspired-chicken-coop/

    Putting a piece of Copper in water to stop Algae growth?

    Putting a piece of Copper in water to stop Algae growth?

    The amount of copper it would take for the ppm to reach a toxic level is staggering. There is no way it would happen with just a piece of pure copper in the water. That would be like believing cooking on cast iron will cause you to have too much iron in your diet...a myth that has been disproven...

    Holy smokes - just saw this. Been out of touch for a few years due to Life and all...it was just laminated wood steamed and clamped into shape.

    Introducing new chicks to the coop

    Oh gosh. I'm so sorry that I'm just now seeing this. I've been slammed at work (new job in June). I don't know that you still need the plans; but, I'll see if I can get my husband to draw them up and will post them for others who may want the same information. How are your babies doing?

    Fermenting Feed for Meat Birds

    Forgetting about the whole "food grade plastic", etc.... Are you doing a yeast or LAB based fermentation? If you are doing LAB, are you doing it with an anaerobic or aerobic bacteria? Reason is....a yeast based or aerobic bacteria based fermentation will not do well (mostly die) in an...

    Fermenting Feed for Meat Birds

    Yes, it counts as an additional "meat protein". Whey and yogurt are also milk derived proteins. I'm glad to hear you're having such great results, Art Yes. The bacteria infests the ferment (which includes the grains).

    Fermenting Feed for Meat Birds

    - I use a spreadsheet which is easier for me (it actually works without having to call on Pearson's Square); but, I use the square to confirm my ration calculations. I do like my sanity checks. I was going to use a ledger; but, I've found that I'm now totally lazy when it comes to arithmetic...

    Fermenting Feed for Meat Birds

    Yes, they are indeed easy....The gal at the feed store this side of the highway does mealworm farming and has offered time and again to help me get set up. But, I just don't have the space for the volume of mealworms I'd have to process to meet my current (and growing) requirements. I don't...

    Introducing new chicks to the coop

    LOL - yeah, that can happen. I have a little Nankin (true bantam) that tends to try to bully my Muscovy ducklings...You should see the size disparity. It's pretty funny. Just keep interrupting the picking and it will eventually drop to a pretty random thing instead of constant.

    Introducing new chicks to the coop

    If they are only two to three weeks old, introduce them on a day that you have some time. Drop the little ones in, show them food and water locations, then keep watch. You may have one or two try to peck the itty bitties. When they do, thump them. They'll stop. Of course, I had one that I had...

    B.Y.C. Dorking Club!

    Sweet - I paid my membership, jeez.....back in Feb(?)...he responded about three weeks later and told me he got it; but, then nothing. I'm very glad to see that things may get rolling to get the breeder's club back up and running again. With him out of school, now, maybe communications won't...

    Fermenting Feed for Meat Birds

    I don't use limestone grit as grit. I thought I mentioned that, I guess I worded myself poorly . It's a calcium supplement....It can, depending on what you're feeding, work as a grit for short periods. Many dispute that, and I'm not in the mood to argue it. As always, personal preference...

    Fermenting Feed for Meat Birds

    yes, the comment was in that string of information. Superbly well hidden. ((it really was well hidden in a rather lengthy sentence after "powdered mealworms")) I just don't have the time or space at the moment to mess with it. Considering the rate I go through mealworms, I'm going to have...

    Fermenting Feed for Meat Birds

    I do the same thing for mine who are pinned up - they have a basin of poultry grit and a basin of calcium. I live on a limestone infested riverside, so my free rangers are constantly gobbling the stuff down. I do have some grit and calcium out for them; but, they pretty much ignore it. You...

    Lacy, my system crashed the other night in the lightning storm and wiped out my drives. I'm currently restoring the data; but, it's going to take a while. As soon as I get the files back online (thank goodness for Carbonite). I'll pull up the file and post my recipes. I can give you a rough...
