    Expecting chicks week of Oct 1?

    Expecting chicks week of Oct 1?

    I received my chicks this morning from mypetchicken.com out of twenty-five thirteen have now died. I have done everything I know to do to no avail. They were shipped on 10/01. Were they in transit a day too long?

    I started out with a chicken tractor that I found on craigslist. The thing is a tractor in name only since it is as heavy as one, but there's no moving it without a few people to help.I have re-enforced the flimsy poultry netting with some garden wire I already had and I put a wire apron of the...

    I am a failure at chicken coops....

    I tried that and it wasn't working for me at all. He gave me the whole, " I want you to feel good about your accomplishment by not helping you." Translation : " I didn't want chickens in the first place, why should I help." Yeah he's supportive like that. My son and grand daughter did come over...

    I am a failure at chicken coops....

    I recently completed my first coop. I am not a builder, I had to accept that fact, but I am stubborn so I just keep at it till I get something figured out. I used a chicken coop idea from a couple of web sites. I used primarily wooden pallets some wood from a privacy fence we had and a ton of...

    I use kitty litter boxes for nest boxes. I have them sitting on the floor. My girls seem to like them fine. Cleaning them is really easy too.

    Hooking up light timer

    I light my coop from 5 am to 7 pm and I usually go out to close the coop up before the light goes off and they are usually on their roost getting settled in when I arrive. I count heads say good night and lock the door. In the morning I go and let them out after the light has been on awhile...

    Poultry Pod. Is this a decent coop?

    Our winters are fairly mild for the most part where I am in "Little Dixie". Also my thoughts are to secure it to the ground in the same manner as one would a mobile home. Since it weighs about 16 pounds I do manage to empty the litter into my wheel barrow and then into my compost bin.

    Poultry Pod. Is this a decent coop?

    Alright, I bought a poultry pod last month and so far it's working out fine. I put it together and placed it into my re-enforced chainlink dog run. It's just the right size for my three girls well ventilated for southeastern Oklahoma summer. It's not much differant than refurbishing a dog house...
