    Has anyone tried this feeder

    I made my own similar to that with a few 90 degree PVC street elbows and an extra bucket. It works great!

    post your chicken coop pictures here!

    Here's my coop and run. The coop is a pre-built from TSC. My wife has been looking into chickens for a while, but I've just gotten onboard with it. The coop looked like what we need for now, if we added a second run. After reading up on chickens, I wish I'd built my own... but then, I can't...

    How Many Waterers do you Have?

    I have one 5 gallon bucket with four horizontal nipples. I have six, five-week-olds, so I don't know how it's gonna do yet, but it's lasted three days now and still has lots left in it.

    best and cheapest place to buy dried mealworms?

    Walmart. Oddly, they're cheaper in the lawn and garden section than they are in the pet section.

    freeze dried mealworms?

    My chickens go CRAZY for the freeze dried mealworms. (I find it almost magical that a chicken can turn something nasty like a worm into yummy food...)

    3 out of 4 chicks killed by our dog

    :( The dog got one of our chicks, too. They were about a week old, so we got some new chicks that could go in the brooder with them. You could tell that the remaing two missed their flock mate. They're much happier now with the new chicks.

    First Time Chick Parents, Spring 2016

    Both of my RIRs were skittish at first. Now (a week later) the one tolerates being picked up, and the other one will perch on my hand while I walk around.

    First Time Chick Parents, Spring 2016

    Nugget (Easter Egger) died today. Doors got left open, and netting on the brooder got left off, and the dog got into them. The other two were all wet, but seem to be okay. :(

    100' rolls of hardware cloth

    I found some at Walmart.com. Shipping wasn't free but even with that it came to under $100 (which reminds me, I need to order some tonight. Just picked up the lumber for the run today...)

    hardware cloth

    Is it okay to use 1/2 inch hardware cloth instead of 1/4 inch? Smaller on just the bottom? Chicken wire for just the ceiling? (I'm leaning towards no...)

    Why are roosters called roosters?

    From Dictionary.com: 1772, from roost (earlier roost c**k, 1606), in sense of "the roosting bird," favored in the U.S. as a puritan alternative to c**k (and compare roach). (Edited to make the filters happy)

    Hello

    Hi, I'm yoda47 from Michigan. My wife has been trying to talk me into getting chickens since we got married (about 9 1/2 years ago) and she finally succeeded. We have two RIR's (Henrettia and Ruby), and an Easter Egger (Nugget) that are about a week or so old now.
