    Do you leg band your chickens?

    Are you guys using regular old zip ties from a box store like Harbor Freight or Home Depot? Or are there special bands. I know there are cheap zip ties that break easily. Thats probably good and bad on a chicken. You dont want them to get caught on something and unable to get free. New to...

    Get chicks or 7 week olds for pets

    I was about to leave to go buy 4 more for a total of 10. Really positive I should only go with 4sqft per bird? Final answer? That would give me 7.5 birds. Lol. Call it 8. Is that really what you guys recommend?

    What do you think of my roosts?

    I hope they are far enough away to not poop in the nesting boxes. I mentioned that they were about 20" from the wall. We will see. I could add covering or move them if that happens.

    What do you think of my roosts?

    Hey Guys, I just built this coop and I am wondering if you think Bielefelder chickens will like it. The roosts are about 36" from the floor. Egg boxes are 12" wide x 13" deep and about 18" tall. I read that they need adequate floor space to fly down to off the roosts. My coop is 6' x 6' not...

    Anyone use Koop Clean?

    Hey guys. I read half this thread and I was sold. I was going to go with hemp for my new coop but decided on this stuff. Super hard to find! I live in Ithaca NY and I had to drive 100 miles to get some. I bought two bales at a Tractor Supply in Victor NY. It was all they had. So then I drove to...

    Get chicks or 7 week olds for pets

    I plan on free ranging them as much as possible. I have 20 acres but I live close to the road. I am hoping they are smart enough not to go to the road.

    Get chicks or 7 week olds for pets

    My coop is 6' x 6'. With a 1' egg box. So call it 6 x 5. That is 30 Sq ft. Divide that by 3 for 3 sqft per bird that is 10 birds. I assume you are saying I should have more than 3 per bird? I have read a ton of people say that 3 per bird is good. What does winter have to do with it? I dont want...

    Is this slightly moldy straw ok?

    Hello, I have a bale of decorative straw left over from last Halloween. The surface of it, where the bag was opened, looks like it has some mold on it from being outside. I know mold spores are not good to have with your chickens but I’m wondering if you think it safe to pull off the top...
