I have 2, 8 foot roost bars. I had 3, but took one out to give them more room to jump up. They basically squeeze onto less than 4 feet of the available roosting space. I think Banana is at the bottom of the pecking order (she’s fourth in from the right). And I was wondering if this order can...

I got a frisbee at the Salvation Army for $1.50 and it works the best so far for fermented feed. The bread pan gets knocked over, the bowls get knocked over. But the frisbee is perfect. They step in it sometimes but don’t really kick any out.

So I have 12 pullets, about 19 weeks old. Not laying yet. I soak 700 grams of Scratch and Peck whole grain feed. I noticed if I put it all out in the AM then after they get there breakfast the leftover sit for a while. So I started to feed them half in the AM and half in the early PM. But then...

Hmm ya the age of Amazon stock is def a good point. Thanks! Ok I think I’ll make some fodder to have ready for them first and go from there. The wife just got 2,500 worms too 😏 she prob won’t notice if a few go missing now and then

Getting my pullets next week and want to make sure I’m all set for food and treats. I am ordering Scratch and Peck feed and then started looking at their BSFL. The box was something like $8 per pound.. Amazon has a lot of options, some as low as $5 per pound. Grublys is $16 per pound! Has...

There’s the Coop-Ala feeder, which is a reimagined Grandpas feeder

Welcome and good luck! I’m working on my own Carolina Coop. There’s a YouTube video series by Homestead Engineering that has been very helpful.

Run size and coop size are related when it comes to capacity of your flock. If you have a large coop and small run, your chickens will still be miserable. But if you have a decent size coop like an 8x6 combined with a large run or free ranging, you can get away with more birds. If you had an...

If you have a large enough run I think you’re fine. If they’re free ranging, you’re definitely fine.

I don’t think so.. we have a guaranteed buyer at any moment.. and they have a store front and employees and have to pay bills… for people that don’t want to set up a booth or whatever I think it’s awesome

Island prices I suppose 🤷‍♂️ My chickens arrive next month and I’d be happy to sell a couple dozen a week to pay for feed

My town has a Co-Op that buys backyard chicken eggs for $7.50/dozen and resells them for $9.

He said he’s going big 🤷‍♂️

From what I’ve seen, it looks like having too many layers in the flooring allows moisture to get stuck between the layers. I’m going with 1/2” HDPE flooring in my coop, it’s basically like cutting board material.

Can you tell me more about the storage? How is it framed?
