Just wanted to say thanks to all of the OTs for keeping this thread alive. I've lurked here quite often since the beginning. Very informative to say the least. Bee, Al, Fred, MFB, Fowlman, Marshall Family and others have made this thread a treat. Just good down to earth info that makes...

I have to concur with Den. Our BOs went broody during the heat of the summer, then came up with fowl pox. Laying went to nothing for a while. Broodiness and heat related I believe. I did boost the protein since there were new chicks involved and eventually went back to layer feed this week...

Yes, they will eat down to a paper thin rind.

A long story but we ended up with 4 one week old chicks and their broody mom. We have a six by four raised (3 ft) coop and 200 sq feet of run space but the coop space is not conducive to brooding chicks separately. Last evening Mom decides that the chicks need to hit the ground (at one...

Now that's a pic I would love to see. Dave

So I have a question for the OTs or anyone who has experienced ground water issues. I followed the advice from Pat's Muddy Run page and that worked just fine for a while. Still have sand left from the 2 tons of sand that I started with. The problem is that the ground slopes away but just sits...

Well Congrats!!! Dave

Hey Bee, That looks great but the the most wonderful thing is that the birds won't care!! Great job. Dave
