    8x30 American Coop (Carolina Coops) build - pix heavy

    Mine were hatched April 19th and started laying last week. Man.. I wanted a Carolina Coop so bad. The wait is real though. It looks awesome! Need to plan the year before if you want one... that and the price hurdle. So jealous @John Canfield

    Where to buy feed

    I think you can even order off of Amazon now. Depending on where you live, your local Walmart might carry feed and treats. I agree with the others and use Tractor Supply as well as D&B supply

    Pullet ate fingertip of nitrile glove... now what?

    What happened? I had just finished my normal emptying/refilling waterer, refilling food, checking they have grit, moving around wood shaving bedding, etc. When, after finishing the bit of clover I had snipped for them in the yard.. My favorite pullet (an ameraucana), walked over and looked up at...

    Poop and Plants Questions

    Poop and Plants Questions

    I started on plain water yesterday, room temperature. The electrolyte water I had was all the same gallon pitcher. I stopped completely filling up the water dispenser since I was tossing a lot of it at the end of the night since there was poop in the chick waterer. Yes, they've had chick grit...

    New to BYC

    Thanks! I've definitely been enjoying reading your article/post on your coop shed conversion, the Mulligan. Covered dust bathes, adding cameras.. realizing salvaged items while they can save money can sometimes be time sucks :( It's been a really nice read and came out fantastic btw!
