    Winter Storm--Help!!

    Oooh, that's a good idea--I have hay (for the rabbits). They were born in September so about 5 months. I also have a tarp I could drape over but I figured that would also impede ventilation...

    Winter Storm--Help!!

    The GREAT news is that I brought our pullets home tonight! The bad news is that because my husband was sick today he didn't complete their full sized coop! Aaaahhhh! Tonight they are in a temporary, smaller (tiny) one that we have. It is about a 2'x2' chicken box with an attached run. The...

    The pullets are coming! Help!

    So is there any answer to any of those questions which should make me NOT buy from this breeder? I live in VA so not much snow but LOTS of rain this year. I have a kitty litter pan I was planning on filling with something. I like the sand idea! Do you provide oyster shells or grit to your...

    The pullets are coming! Help!

    Thank you! Should I ask if they've received antibiotics, vaccines or if they've been wormed (is that a common practice?)? Also, I would kind of like to add wire to the bottom of their run to keep anything from digging inside. Yay or nay? And where can I buy wood ash for a dust bath bin?

    The pullets are coming! Help!

    Thank you guys for responding!! They are Red Sex Linked, about 20 weeks old and just started laying. I am getting them from a nearby farm, so, breeder? I want to make sure they still have their natural beaks (I forgot to ask that over the phone today). What are some other good things to ask when...

    The pullets are coming! Help!

    Hi, new to chickening here. We are finally picking up our pullets this weekend! Is there anything I should know about how to make sure I'm getting a healthy one? Would I automatically need to give it any kind of lice/mite/flea treatment? How would I know if it's free from pests? Thank you in...

    The Duck Thread

    Hi Duck Lovers! I would like to get some ducks this summer for our suburban backyard to help with pest control. Seeing as we are not handy AT ALL, does anyone have any suggestions on where I can buy or create a safe duck house and run with minimal building involved?

    Easiest to Clean Coop to Buy??

    What is the easiest to clean coop that you can buy (preferably with an attached run)? (I'm not handy....and would like to spend under $300.) I'm planning on using a paddock system when I'm home and can let them out but I work full time and want the chickens to be protected during the day. I...

    Brand New...Please Advise!

    Thank you for responding and for the advice! Their coop is definitely secure and it actually has a small attached run so I will only really be letting them out into the paddock when we're home from work and outside with them (so I guess I'm not doing the true "paddock rotation" shh....don't tell...

    P.S. I am planning on using the Paddock Shift System ("raising chickens in paddocks") about halfway down the page: http://www.richsoil.com/raising-chickens.jsp
