    Help with Coop Design

    I'm keeping 6 chickens. I was planning on putting the roosts at about 2" so they would be half a foot above the nesting boxes. We did plan on burying the wire but I've been playing back and forth with the concrete idea. I'm now thinking of just running the coop all the way down so I can walk...

    Help with Coop Design

    I love the barn look of your coop! I always heard red could make birds aggressive lol. I wasn't sure so I was going to go with a yellow color and fiesta type colors. I'm even thinking of getting sombre hat lights for the coop lighting haha!

    Help with Coop Design

    I'm thinking about putting sand under the coop portion and possibly putting a small misting system on a timer under there because of how hot it gets here! Then maybe I could just rig up a scooper on a broom handle to keep from having to climb under all the time haha. I'm glad the size is good...

    Help with Coop Design

    So I'm in the process of designing our coop and run. I'm still trying to finalize details but I'm not sure what would be best lol. I figured I'd ask some of the veteran coop builders for advice haha! This is what I have drawn out so far. The back side of the coop will set up to the back of...

    Are you sure you were looking at the correct stuff? Because at Lowe's a wye is 5 bucks... and the 10' is around $13. These were the 4" PVC. I also know my local hardware store will have shorter PVC pipe for cheaper from cuts they have made, so I could pick up a 4 or 5' length for a couple...

    Can't hurt to try!! Especially for a fairly cheap design like the PVC feeder :)

    If it wasn't for the fact that I'd probably squish them, I'd have them all cuddled up in my arms forever! :p I just love fluffy little chicks.

    Looks like first class shipping is only 3.77. For that price I guess I could just experiment with an order from them :)

    Raising Mealworms

    I'm thinking about ordering mealworms to start a colony. Has anyone ever ordered from Flukers? http://www.flukerfarms.com/mealworms-live.aspx The price seems pretty good, 9 bucks for 1000 medium mealworms. I'm not sure what the shipping is yet. Just trying to find the best place to order a...
