I wish I could talk the spouse into building that for me. It's just lovely!

First off: Thank You for your service to our country! Second: Thank you for noticing that the title of "mom" is indeed a job title. And Third: it seems that Miss Olivia has some wonderful parents.

So does that mean you just had a birthday? If so then Happy Brlated Birthday to ya!!!! Also check out this website you might find it of interest. Www.geofflawton.com You'll want to see the chicken tractor on steroids video. It will ask for an email address but don't worry you won't get spam...

Right because running a farm is like raising a job. It's a vacation, not a job in the least, LOL!!!!!!! Sorry I just found that terribly funny. I am a forklift operator for a manufacturing company and the spouse is a truck driver. I currently have 27 chicks that I'm raising, a calf, 4 hens, 3...

Sorry to hear that you lost some babies. I ordered our chicks from McMurray and they are now 1 month old and doing well. As far I can tell we received exactly what we asked for. I will definitely order from them again. Unfortunately human error does happen, it just stinks when it's you that it...

I do believe that's what I have after comparing the pics.

I know usually people get a Roo for the free chick. However this one was a girl when I performed the sexing tests. I will say though that this little bugger is my standoffish one. And seems to be either the leader or the bully, haven't decided on that one yet.

I personally would use one 1x1 as the roost. And use the other one for supports. Depending on the length. Or there may be a sag when you get chickens on it. As far as the PVC. I wouldn't use it because when it gets moist it would be slippery. ANC if it's slippery they won't get on it. You...

I definitely agree... They are pretty cheep. But just like everything else they can be expensive if you want them to be. It all depends on what your limits are. Although compared to the spouses previous hobbies this has by far been the cheepest. Sorry Sepaditty1 I liked your word so much that...

I have found that it's not so much planning as it is knowledge. I have found that I procrastinate, so I try to do enough research to get me started and then I dive in. That way I'm forcing myself to commit. Besides if you're already tending to that many chickens you already know everything you...

Never heard of tipex. I'd use it but since it's just for this experiment I think I'll do the nail polish. Thanks for the tip though. I'm gonna file it away for possible future use. I'm actually thinking that I should paint a band around one of the legs. If I paint toes, well that'll just get...

Thank you for your interest, I was in TSC just the other day and they had 6 different bins that was supposed to have chicks in them. But they had thrown all the chicks into one bin that said Orpington on it. I really wanted to say something about them mixing the chicks but no one was around and...

I got tons of nail polish, because I only wear it on my toes during the summer. Think I'll try that out. The spouse doesn't like the idea of using zip ties. He worries I'll forget to cut them off, which could be bad for the chicken in the end. But have no problem painting a few toes.

Well I have some pictures and a video of the flock but I have lost the cord for my camera. So you all will have to just visualize. Unfortunately due to our freakish weather patterns here in TN I haven't been able to check this flock back outside. Therefore my house currently smells like a...

Ooohhhh!!!! That is so awesome!!!! I just may take you up on that in about a year.

Hope you don't mind but I checked out your profile and noticed that you are from Ireland. I have always told the spouse that if we are ever fortunate enough to take a real vacation that I want to go to Ireland. I have wanted to since watching Scarlett (yes I'm a Gone With The Wind fan). Maybe...

How many eggs is she sitting on? How many have survived?

Today is the chick flocks first day outdoors They are loving it. Figure I'll let them stay out for a while, get some fresh air, let the house air out, clean a little, blah blah blah. Although I do miss the ruckus inside, it was beginning to smell. I could smell the wonderful stench of...

Yeah, I stopped getting jewelry and candy a long time ago. At least we still say "I love you" even when we're mad.

Love that coop! I think I need to send my spouse to you for lessons. Just kidding!!
