I'm not sure if it's Legal or not Legal but I've been trying to research if it is or not in California. This might not belong on this Forum, if not please direct it to the right place. If anyone have any idea if it's legal or not, do let me know.

Question. As the weather is heating up here in California. This past week was over 100. Yesterday and Today is 105. I have 4 Serama Chickens that I would like to give better water so they can hydrate more due to the high heat levels. My Serama is like family, I prized them very high. They are...

Is there a Chicken incubator out there that you can buy that you don't have to watch it every day or every other day? Put the hatching eggs in and leave it alone for up to a week or two without viewing it/messing with it/adjusting it? If so, can I get some names and brand so I can research...

Awesome! Water wise, I've started to rig up a water jug that holds 4 gallons of water. I've actually will be having two water jug so a total of 8 gallons of water. It will have water nipples on it as well. I wanted to use two 4 gallons of water jug to be on the safe side. Both water jugs will be...

Regarding these DIY Chicken Feeder PVC Pipes, How long does it last? I will mostly like build one similar to the picture below. The reason why I asked is because I just received a job position that is 100 miles north in the city. The pay is awesome roughly about $5,000 a month I'm starting...

Early this morning, I let 5 of my chickens who are 4-5 weeks old out while I watered the lawn so they can eat some grass before I put them in the coop and run. I had them out for no more than 5 minutes, and I was about 30 feet away while two Blue Jay birds out of now where nose dive down at my...

After I posted this subject of mines, I was browsing feeding stores for live animals in my town and found out there's a Tractor Supply Company nearby. Never knew there was one here in town! So I quickly drove 6 miles there before they close and to my surprised they carried alot of chicken...

I've been raising my four Silkie Chick since day one of hatching, and I was given a Silkie this past weekend that is 1.5 months old. It's huge. I kept saying to myself, my four Silkie Chick which are less than three weeks old will never be this big at 1.5 months old. For my four Silkie Chick...

Six weeks, got it. I was told from a breeder to keep it for three to four weeks on the chick starter. I don't mind the chick starter, they're loving that fine but personally if I were a chick, I'd be bored eating the same thing over and over even if it's good for me lol Four more weeks to go...

Since I've started raising baby chicks barely a month ago, I'm venturing out to find more food options for them. I've been feeding them on just Chick Starter food only and Water. Just today, I found some left over Corn Meal that I'd bought a few months ago when I was fishing for Carp. Carp...

Thanks for the comments. Very Funny The Chicken Coop and Run won't be use at all anytime soon. My Chicks are still very small, a little over 2 weeks old.

I put up a Rescue Disposable Fly Trap that I got at Wal-Mart and it works super well. For under $5 dollars, this thing must of caught a few thousand fly within the two weeks that I had it hung up about 10 feet away from my Chicken Coop. If youre Chicken Coop is tall enough, I don't see why I...

Update on the Chicken Coop and Run. Installed 4 heavy duty door hinges on the opening Roof. Haven't had time to paint it yet. I open it by placing a steel pipe that I use to latch it open. It has two settings. I made sure it's safe by drilling a half way hole into the center support bar where...

I will brace it better tomorrow morning. Didn't have much time this evening, had 1 hour at it. Ran out of wood as well. Enough time to reposition my Coop then lay the two Latice on and brace the top with three four feet long 1''x1'' top brace. Paint wise, That will be done also when it's all...

The coop is 2'x4' big. The coop could use an expansion as well, I started with baby chicks so I didn't really plan on a big coop. As far as Rain, It barely rain, I'm in California. Been praying for Rain but it doesn't rain. We're on a major drought where we can water our lawn twice per week on...

It's my first time building a Chicken Coop and I would like some suggestions. I would like the coop to house maybe a dozen chicken in the near future. As for now it will be housing four one and a half week old Silkie baby chicks when they are big enough to go into the Chicken Coop. Again this...

Thanks for all the comments. This is my first attempt at a coop so it will have to do for now. Since the death of the 5th silkie baby chick, I don't take them out of the coop anymore. I placed them in a round 3 feet container with wood shredding before 8pm everynight and leave the heatlamp on it...

Here's my first ever Silkie. Sad that the 5th one is gone now. Not a good way to start this new hobby of mine. Here are some pictures of them as of today and the chicken coop I built for them. Looking to learn alot from this forum!

Hi, I'm new here. I'm new to raising chicken. I started building my first chicken coop and it came out really nice for me. My first chickens are Silkie. I drove 60 miles to purchased 5 Silkie babies that are 3 days old. The person had way too many and was desperate in getting rid of his stock...
