Glad to have a fellow Georgian here!!! I am on my second year with my 13 Red Stars. I wanted to build a little attached brooder on the side of our Taj-Ma-Cluk, just big enough for 5, to see how it would work. The next thing I know, my husband and his friend bring home 10 baby chicks. After...
Hi Kim!! I live in Crawford County, GA We are about 20 Mi west of Warner Robins. I am not sure where Douglasville is?? Good idea about selling mealworms, how is it going????
What a great palace for your girls. There are things you have done that I am planning to add, so your post with all the pictures is going to be a great help. It is always easier to see it done rather than just visualizing in your head. I might ask you a few questions if I get stuck. Would that...
This has been very interesting and helpful, as I would like to get more chicks and expand the flock,so they cannot be only pets, but we maybe able to have enough eggs to sell, and still be able to give to our choir members and friends at church. My husband thought we needed plans to make a...

Best thing to do is put out trail cam so you know what kind of visitors you have. Our neighbors brought their trail cam over and surprise, we have foxes scouting out our Taj-Ma-Cluck. Immediately a piece of spare lattice was put on the window so nothing could go thru the screen!
Can someone post a picture of their feeder that is hanging. I have seen several at TSC and wondered which is the best. Can someone also help with what type of waterer they use..
Thanks so much
We have been working on our coop for over a month. My husband attends college classes during the day, so he can only work a few hours at night and on Sunday. We bought the book Building Chicken Coops for Dummies. And going by the book really slows you down. My husband wanted to go by the...
