    Best way I've found yet to deal with snake problems!!

    I love, love love this idea!! I am going to stop at the Wal-Mart today on my way home and pick up a couple. Already had one 6' snake in my run this season, and that was enough for me. He was only a few inches away from my roosting pullets when I went out to tuck them into their coop for the...

    My Pepper is a photo HAM!!

    Opened the door to the brooder this evening, and my favorite pullet flew out onto my arm! Granted, she's top girl in terms of pecking order, and the friendliest of my chicks/pullets, but really ?!? She demanded my attention and free range of the kitchen, well, as long as she was perched on my...

    The Peeps turned three weeks on Monday, and my sweet Black Aussie is trying to fly out of the brooder into my shoulder... So I can't get their coop and run done fast enough!! Here's where we are on the run:

    And the kitten...well, as usual, he believes he rules the roost around here. IDK, I suppose he does have the Best seat in the house, lol!

    My First Brooder! (dog crate remodel)

    If I didn't own the dogs I own, I probably would have spent $35-45, TOPS. It's one thing to own chickens....it's something altogether different to introduce birds into a working dog pack.

    My First Brooder! (dog crate remodel)

    My cousin is giving me all kinds of grief. He used a cardboard box and a $19.99 starter kit and didn't lose a single chick. But then, he has always been waay smarter than I!

    My First Brooder! (dog crate remodel)

    Well, 14aviles, even I don't want to know the answer to that question. Doh! I am stacking all my receipts in a pile, and after I have finished the coop and have fed the hens 'til I get my first egg, , then I will make a rough estimate of how many premium eggs they need to produce to earn their...

    My First Brooder! (dog crate remodel)

    Thank you! I was wondering about that ... Was thinking maybe I'll start with just one of these cut shorter and sitting very low to the ground...probably attached to tiny blocks, and then upgrade to thicker poles placed higher up as the chicks grow. A little ambitious maybe, and I'll bet they...
