That is a really great picture sequence - I would love to do these heaters.

Suncatcher - are these still needing a new roost? :)

Hi, everyone ....newbie back asking for some direction .. I dont even know where to begin looking for the ordinances on what animals we can keep here in the Town limits of Simla. Just locals word of mouth. Ive had numerous issues with the Elbert County website an receiving error reports with...

I can't wait til I get to do things like that ;) you tell a good story! My husband would/will get very jealous of my chicken addiction if I go to crazy too fast. He builds homes for a living so hammering my crazy coop ideas together isn't always fun (lol) he's a trooper though and loves the...

Yeah! For rain lots of it out here in Simla :) we filled 3 - five gal buckets last night (lol). We are just getting gutters up. My girls run out of their coop each morning, wings flapping and cock jumping each other then they go right into immediate bug hunting. Too cute! They are also coming...

Well...boo! So, were looking to add another dog to our family. Yep, a border collie and or blue heeler mix ;) haha puppy so she can just keep watch and learn to be a chicken lover and protector...we have a Male Altered Boxer, Floppy n Fawn. So, I found a border collie blue heeler mix in Sugar...

Very cool, thanks for sharing :)

Do any of you guys use community nest boxes? How critical are dimensions? I have 4 pullets but I know once we start laying Ill want more chickens like 6-8 total. I kinda wanna make our new coop with community nests and the baby coop will be turned into one with nesting boxes aka 5 Gal Buckets...

I'm one of the new people's around here. I'm Arin in real life :) mother n new wifie to my SO of 6+yrs. We finally left Arizona behind and our family members + live music scene and friends for small town living. LOL - if you knew how much I love tank tops swim suits and even though I lived in AZ...

G'Mornin P-Funk ;)

So where is everyone getting their organic feed (for those of you that are)? ANd at what prices? I can get Ranchway, but not consistently, unless I have it shipped direct (too costly),..... and the feed stores don't always end up getting what I ordered... [/quote/] I'm in Simla, for us we drive...

Ah-ha! Yay joyful noise farm :) Let us know how wonderful the energy was at the farm and the smell of the feeds ;) I sure hope they offer your flock that extra bit of positives they may need! They are the closest small local organic farm to us..I intend to take my 24mo DD out there when we are...

Beautiful ~ thank you ~ All :)

Thanks :) No nesting boxes in their area. Just curious to know when we should/and how to introduce. I know they are not going to lay until the appropriate ages ;) fo'sure! The current coop we made for them is mostly hardware mesh (front wall) with a picket door, roof and L shaped solid...

Oh, sorry to post again... I also wondered at what age did you change the chicks food? Like a chick starter to chick grower feed? There is such stuff, correct? What about healthy treats, fresh fruit/veggies? Id like to have them be gmo-free and strictly organic. And one other thing: they...

When do/did you all start preparing your chicks for nesting boxes/roosts/fake eggs? My lil chicks (or are they teenagers? or are they teens at onset of beginning to lay, lol) are about 5 weeks old and 7 weeks old. Very well adjusted outside with a lamp, baby coop and run. I'm only four weeks...

OMG Just shut up!!!!! ROTFL you haven't a clue the humor we have found in that statement I say shut up with love and humor... It's like my surprised, statement of shock! Or it's like; jus be quiet already, lol Storm shelters, what!! It's straight Kansas out here, hah!!!

I was just on Facebook adding BYC.... Is the Colorado forum invite only or a private page? Would love to be on that forum too :)

We are new to Simla, Co if you remember ;) and I feel soooo bad for all of my family and friends...we were natives to the Valley of the Sun until May 1st 2013.... Couldn't be happier to be out of the smoldering heat. And raise our daughter off the grid. So what's this wicked winter talk I...

It may be a far drive but worth it if you get a big bulk. The Joyful Noise Farm in Black Forest, Co sells amazing organic feeds :) you can call them too.
