    We Quit Cigarettes

    I feel your struggle Kiki. I've been trying to quit dipping snuff for like the past 5 years. It seems to be an endless cycle of quitting for a few days and then picking it right back up. I really need to stop bc my health is starting to be affected (as I reach 50 years old) but I always seems to...

    Ammonia smell in coop

    A strong ammonia smell is typically associated with urine. Various things can cause urine to smell stronger than normal; build-up of uric acid (by-product of metab.), dehydration, and dietary changes. Have you noticed any recent changes to the amount of water that they drink?

    Trailer Coop Build (Pic heavy)

    NICE! Those are awesome! Mine won't start laying for a few more months (only 3 mos. old) so I think I may order 2 of those myself and do a lil nesting box revision prior to laying time. Thanks for the excellent product suggestion Pip.

    6 Mile Chicken Tractor Build

    Hi, thanks for the feedback. Differently? 1) Put the ramp on the same side as the nesting box access door. 2) We've had a lot of rain recently here in E TN so the ground is very soft. The weight of the tractor is still manageable but the small wheels sink into the ground a bit. I may end up...
