This is my rather simple take on what the different feeds are: http://greengardengirl.wordpress.com/2009/03/24/chicken-feed-confusion/ Hope it helps!

One from my Delaware and one from my Ameraucana!

Saying hello from Victoria, BC!

Thanks for everyone posting about this ... I bought completely the wrong kind of latches for my coop ... Good thing they haven't gone outside yet ... I am switching to locks!

Ohhh... making so much more sense now.

Thanks everyone! I don't have any light (besides the desk lamp, and that's for me) or heat on in this room very much anymore. We have an old drafty house, so it gets down to around 50F in the room at night already. Perhaps I shall give it a try ... at least putting them out during the...

So cute! I want one!

Hello! I am working on my first coop, and everywhere I read talks about the importance of ventilation without drafts. What does this mean, in practice? I am converting an old dog 3X4 house into my coop ... so where would the ventilation "windows" go? At the top? At the bottom? Both? Below...

Same thing happened to me ... I was told to get non-medicated food because of vaccines ... and the first store I went to told me there was no such thing. Very intimidating as a newbie! I went home and just called around to all the feed stores until I found one that said they carried...

Thanks everyone for saying hi! More photos of the chicks are here at my flickr site: http://flickr.com/photos/gardengreengirl/ And as requested ... a few more pictures of the two Delawares

I heard about this site on NPR a while ago, and I knew I had to get some chickens... We just bought our first house in December, and I already have three little chicks! (We also have two old lady dogs from the SPCA, and a rescue cat ... and a soon to be very large garden.) They are going on...
