I don't know much. Have you looked into probiodics or some kind of medication, maybe? I don't know what else I could advise-I hope someone experienced shares their wisdom!
Thanks for the great info!
I just don't think it would work. We would have them for guard-birds for our chickens (and the occasional meat and egg).
I've seen some nieghbors with some, so I'll ask them about their experience later this spring/summer
Thanks for the reply!
I'm unsure if I should get Guineas..
Chickens control the pest problem, however guineas also are predator-alarms.
How noisy are yours? Do you eat them? (You said 'jumbo', how big are they?)
Can I see pics?
Oh, and how much are they?
I'm planning for chickens, and am trying to decide whether to...
Thanks.
I will not be using a heat-lamp.
You said two inches of insulation? Would the answer change depending on the type used?
I am new to owning chickens, and am planning for a 13×8 coop for 10-20 chickens. Those are only approximations, though.
I'm thinking of an insulated coop.
Any views on this?
I know that ventilation is most important.
I live in Idaho, and this previous winter got -20°F. Usually doesn't get that cold, though.
Summers can get around 100°F.
Leaning towards a pallet coop. (Planning for Ameraucanas)
I noticed you are using Pallets. How is that working out?
I am gonna be building a coop, and am still not sure what methods I'll use. Been leaning towards pallets....
I'm new to this. I've always wanted a farm, and am planning for chickens this spring as a start!
I've been thinking/researching about them like crazy! Can't wait for the snow to melt so I can get started!!
