Sara and Andi's Chicken Coop Last year (2010) I started playing with an idea of getting some chickens as pets for my kids, as well as to be able to collect some eggs. We decided to go with 3 RIR's with possibility for expansion. I looked on the web to find some good plan that would fit our space...- emeded

Quote: I would be careful with a sand. Sand is dangerous, especially the one you can buy in homedepot or other stores. Sand contains silica which is very dangerous if inhaled. Now chicken being a chicken, they dig a lot and breed a lot of this. Having a good screened kid sand is very...- emeded

Extremely small Cornish cross at 5 weeks
Here are some more pics. I think you guys are right with the White Rock. I had my kids with me when I was in the store, and I asked for cornish cross, and thought they know what are they doing! Anyway, this thing still seems to grow much faster then my golden sex link. Will I be able to use it...- emeded

Extremely small Cornish cross at 5 weeks
Hi, I noticed that my cornish cross is growing a bit slow. It lives with two (as well 5 weeks old) gold sex links. It eats 20% organic feed, but at 5 weeks it's still barely at 1.5 pounds!!! By now it should be at least at double that. It is growing faster then sex links, but still way too slow...- emeded

Sacramento, California Bee articles on legalizing chickens in the city
Quote: Placer county allows it, but you need to check by the city. I am in Roseville, and I can have 10 of them. However, they are specifying where to coop has to be, so it almost makes me not legit. :-)- emeded
