    Need more Ventilation?

    Haha, I can't believe I forgot the obvious. So its 4x8 or 32 ft^2 with 6 birds in it. I have not placed them in there yet. I also live in the south western part of Idaho where the winds can go all day and sometimes night. As for critters we do not really have any predator issues, if we did I...

    Need more Ventilation?

    So this is my first coop I have built, Right now there is ventilation on the top as shown but should I add some on the front side also? I do not want to put any where the big coop is or above it since that is where the wind seems to come from the most. There are the two slots on the front that...

    My New Coop...step by step

    Will you be leaving the top open near the chicken wire for air or will you be closing that up a little more? I also have this area between the roof and coop walls so I'm not sure if I should leave it open or if that will allow to much of a draft during winter.

    Building nesting Box for 7-9 Hens

    So I am doing an external Box on the coop that will likely have a slanted roof to hopefully prevent water from entering. So my question is, I was going to do 3 boxes, I have a 2 holes diameter size about 12inches each. To build a box around I would have 2 nests in the following dimensions Length...

    Possible Roos?

    Safe to say that the two were the only Roosters of the mix. Rest were hens thankfully. The two are crowing now and we are just waiting for the henz to lay.

    Fighting between two birds

    Excellent advice. They free roam the yard so usually they are not close unless everyone found a family of bugs. I am attempting to find one a home amd eventually the other since I'm in the city and roosters cause problems. I was more worried about one killing the other but Since you said they...

    Fighting between two birds

    So I have a buff orpington pure and an araucana buff mix that are very hostile towards each other. The buff pure is more than likely a rooster with his tail and his waddle development being so high. My ara. mix has the tails and has a bit of a waddle but I have heard that is to come with the...

    Pros and cons of organic vs nonorganic?

    Alright this will be my last argument because I'm not going to lose my day because you can't understand this. Back when the government took it over there and was forcing it down throats no one wanted to grow it. The people there didn't want it. WHY? because the rice is not a LIFE OR SITE saving...

    Pros and cons of organic vs nonorganic?

    That's how GMO rice is pushed in other countries (specifically the area where the picture referred to) as a cure all food for their lack of specific vitamins. Not only this but the only reason people disregard the rat study is because they don't feel there was enough rats in the study even...

    Guess The Orpington Sex Pics

    The Black, Splash, and Aurcauna/Buff Mix are a little younger than the obviously bigger pure Buff Orpingtons but thought I would share them to see what others thought. The black, the white, and the Buff with the much bigger waddle development seem to do the stand tall, kneck feathers ruffled up...

    RainBow MealWorms Review

    Ordered 5,000 Mealworms on the weekend, they were shipped Monday and arrived Wednesday, I didn't have a real loss rate and they were all alive and kicking. Just thought I would share. Not too shabby for the price either. Great cost to start up a ever lasting food bin.

    Pros and cons of organic vs nonorganic?

    In response to the not caring of the health of these children. This rice will not alone cure their issue as the real issue in this is the fact that the bodies are not properly absorbing the needed vitamins because of a lack of fat in their diets. Its not an ANTIGMO movement, the farmers don't...
