    Official BYC Poll: The Worst Predator

    I thought I had the racoon population on the decline but caught this on the cam last night. Guess I'm hunting tonight.

    Small beetles in Scratch.

    Just keep your grain in sealed containers and they won't spread. Feed the grain, and weevils, to your chickens. If you see the little guys elsewhere in your house, keep your grain products (corn meal, oatmeal, pasta, etc.) In sealed containers or ziplock bags and spray insecticide. They aren't a...

    Small beetles in Scratch.

    Thank you, I wasn't really going for style points but I'm really happy with the way it came out. It rained pretty hard when I was finishing it off and was pleasantly surprised that it didn't leak a drop. That one is 4'x7'. Next one may be 8'x8', we'll see. Still have a stack of doors, and plenty...

    Hello from South Florida. My Daughter recruited me into her chicken addiction. So far I've built a small coop and run, a brooder box, an automatic horizontal nipple waterer, and 2 bucket and PVC elbow feeders. A lot if the ideas came from this website.
