Thanks for the idea. Those are cute.

I can't wait to try this with the chickens I'll be getting this summer. Is anyone using food grade plastic tubs, bins, or trays for growing fodder? If so, what are you using?

Great info here. I am building a raised coop with a wood floor (not sure yet what to cover it with) and a fixed run that is partially covered. I've been planning to do the deep litter method in the run, but would love to do it in the coop as well. I like the idea of adding some soil, mulch, or...

Thanks for replying! While I had thought of covering a portable fence with netting when it was not around trees, I hadn't thought of wrapping around the tree with the netting. That would certainly make it more challenging for them to get out. I'd love to let them free range, but I'm in the...

Well, I hadn't thought of naming it until now (still being built), but I may have to go with ChickMansion.

Hi, I'm working on building a coop and run for the six chickens I'll be getting this summer. I live on 1/3 acre in the city and have been developing a large garden and planting fruit trees. After lots of reading here and elsewhere, I decided that a permanent coop and run would be best for me...

I have been amazed upon meeting farmers who don't have any idea if the plants they are growing or the feed they are giving their animals is genetically modified, or even what GMOs are. Many people (many...

FDA approved does not mean FDA tested, safe, good for you, good for the environment, or any such thing. I find it interesting how upset and emotional those who support the use of GMOs are. As someone who would prefer to avoid them, since there have not yet been long-term studies that show...

First of all, let's not insult people about whether or not they have done research. I have spent hours and hours reading about GMOs from a variety of sources. A few minutes of googling will find you whatever point of view you want on GMOs (and many other subjects). GMOs have not been tested by...

Oh, by the way, Kaiser Permanente, a huge health insurance provider on the West Coast has recommended that those it insures don't eat GMOs. I think that says something.

Where can you get GMO free feed? Countryside Organics here in Waynesboro, VA sells what you need and will ship their feed. I wouldn't feed my chickens GMO feed, but that's up to you for your chickens. There is no "proof" that GMOs are harming human health because the biotech companies won't...
