Hardiplank is an excellent choice for a coastal application. I’d use it if I were living on a Hawaiian beach, but one of us is luckier than the other. I wouldn’t worry about sheathing. It is a chicken coop after all. (I had the hardest time when building mine – reminding myself that it...

My EE's are totally giving you the stink eye right now...and I'm thinking about doing the same thing.

I keep the homepage open in my browser, not the forum. The homepage lists the top 15 recent posts, but I don't remember ever seeing games there. I refresh it periodically through the day and only go to the main page of the forum to browse specific topics. So if you want to go directly to...

Quote: You managed to escape as well??? LOL You don't escape SJ, it's in your blood and part of who you are. Where abouts inSJ? I grew up in Millville but have been down here in NC (Charlotte area) for just about 20years now. Haven't been back in 2 years because of medical issues but hoping to...

Quote: Carolina Brewery is great! We drink their Sky Blue Golden Ale when we're feeling spendy but our everyday beer is Corona. A lot of our friends seem to be on a Blue Moon w/orange kick. That stuff tastes like a hangover to me.

Always 20% unless the service isn't good. Then it's 15%. If the service is exceptional we tip 25%. (Both my husband and I waited tables for years!)

When you adopt a pet you commit to giving them the best life possible. That doesn’t necessarily mean with you. People move, have children, add new pets into the mix, etc. Situations change and sometimes the pets we love so very much simply cannot adapt for whatever reason. You said you have...

Many years ago when we lived in the city we adopted an old tomcat that was found on the streets downtown. He was incredibly affectionate. He loved me carrying him around like a baby, but man - he was tough! I've never seen a cat with skin so thick. More than one needle was bent trying to...

Hey guys! I don’t know why it didn't occur to me sooner to post in the NJ thread. I’m originally from South Jersey but I live a little west of Raleigh, NC now. I normally go home once or twice in the summer but I didn’t this year because of the chicks. I might have to sneak up for a weekend...

Hi Allison & Gavin! We're in NC as well - just a few hours north. From the looks of your BYC page it seems you are already settling in nicely with your chicks. Congratulations on the new adventure and

My coop used mostly new materials and cost much more than I expected. The people who built the shed kit I used, milled the lumber, manufactured the hardware, etc. and the companies who sold these things to me made money. They used that money to pay their employees who then used that money to...

I totally missed the part about the runny poo. HeidiG is probably right.

I've read that cottonseed meal can cause this. Some people use it as an organic fertilizer. Has your friend been using it in her yard where they free range?

Boast away Laurajean! That is a fantastic coop and run! I am glad you posted the amount of sand you needed for the size of your run and the depth as well. I am considering adding sand to mine but was at a complete loss as to how much, so thanks! Enjoy your new entertainment center!

No aggieterpkatie...not you. And for the record I agree with everything you just said. My point, which I suppose could have been made more clear and with more delicacy is that there are a lot of really, really good vets out there giving sound advice. It bums me out to hear people make gross...

Quote: Ivermectin does NOT kill adult heartworms. If it did they wouldn't use imiticide. Vets use ivermectin on HW positive dogs often. It does NOT kill them. You need to look up your facts. The best advice is to ask your vet, never trust someone on the internet. And your information on...

To address some of the misinformation posted here before someone kills their dog: Testing your dog for heartworm infection before administering ANY heartworm preventative or treatment is imperative. No one, vet or not, should be administering such a volatile medication without testing. The...

Welcome from Chatham County! (I just found out when I got my first sweet, beautiful EE's that I'm an EE lover too!)

Quote: To answer the OP's question...I use the Countryside Natural Feed, which is organic but does contain fish meal. I have a reseller close to me so I can pick it up from her for a small fee. There is a link on their main page to try and find a reseller near you...
