What did you find to be the best applicator for applying BlackJack 57 to the coop floor and walls?

I have a 4'w 6'd 4'h coop built with a run off the left side, chicken door at the back left, and the whole front is a door for human access. It is raised 2' off the ground to allow for a larger run area. The problem is i don't know how to setup the layout for 6 hen, but I need to finish...

Thanks everyone. I had assumed it was a male, but I started second guessing myself because I didn't want to give it up if it was a female.

We have 3 eight week old Black Australorps. one has a Very developed wattles and combs, one has almost none, and the other is in between. From my untrained eye i would assume the very developed is a male, while the one with little development would be a female. But can anyone help me figure...

So over the weekend I was able to fabricate a complete solution for this. I used 1" PVC schedule 40 1" slip 1/2" threaded PVC Tee 1/2" to 1/8" brass bushing thread tape had a few leaks when id didn't use the thread tape, but after applying that everything worked perfectly. I was...

Received my horizontal nipples in the mail yesterday. As I have seen on google, i attempted to install them in PVC pipe. No luck. everytime i tried they would just pop out. I was using 1" PVC. What is the trick? I'm thinking about putting t joints and fitting them with reducing bushings...

how did you get the nipples to stay in. i drilled the holes to 3/8 and they just won't stay in

I got 3 barred rocks from TSC and judging by the distinct difference in barring it looks like the one in the back is a rooster. Agree?

Looks like one of my 3 Barred Rocks is a roo judging by the density of his stripes when compared to the other 2. Do you agree? Of the 9 chicks we picked up at TSC that day he is the smallest.

I have to buy about 100 feet of 3' or 4' hardware cloth to cover my run. Are there any deals out there or where is the cheapest place to find this?

I'm trying to find horizontal nipples, but I've only found one listing on amazon (not sold by amazon). Does anyone know of another place to get them?

Well that brooder was short lived. I built them a new 4.5' x 5.5' x 2' brooder because they seem to have tripled in size in a week. hopefully this is big enough until the snow melts enough to let me finish the coop.

with very curious young kids, 1 and 4, do you think the chicks would do ok with a heating pad underneath instead of a lamp above? I'm worried the kids could touch the light and get hurt.

My 9 chicks are 2 weeks old now and I have a few questions. 1) The height of the 75watt bulb being used is the same as the day I brought them home because they have kept a fairly regular sleeping pattern underneath. Not directly under it but in the general area with a distinct open area...

Does Homedepot have something that is the same quality? Also, what is the toxicity of this and are there worries about that and using the compost created from using the deep liter method in your veggie garden?

Who do you think you're looking at

Is there something similar in white to help lighten up the inside of the coop?

When going into the unsexed bin for Barred Rocks and Black Australorps, do you have any tips on picking females. I read the males will be running around bullying the others but you just said you want ones that are running around so that would seem to counter that idea

I was told they do the orders in the store HOWEVER those orders won't arrive till April or May

I posted this elsewhere but these are the unknown pullets at my TSC. The woman there thinks they are easter eggers
