WOW! 10 pages in one day! I guess I'm gonna have to check in more often than just once a day. LOL!
I was actually headed to bed and thought "Wait!! I haven't checked BYC today!!!" I guess I just needed my fix of chicken info today. Anyway, I will make all of my comments tomorrow. Have been...
Wow, y'all have been really chatty the last couple of days. Had a really busy weekend so I wasn't able to even get on the computer to read anything. Unfortunately, my coop is having to be put off for a little while. But I am still keeping my fingers crossed. I've been looking for pallets and...

Sorry to hear that you were not feeling well. Are you ok today? When I logged on and saw that there were about 3 pages since the last time I logged on (yesterday), I was speechless. So much to catch up on.
Thanks for asking Julie. I am much better. I'm not sure what was going on...
Good Morning All! Hope everyone is enjoying this heat, NOT! I am sooo not use to this anymore. I remember that as a kid living here it didn't bother me, but boy am I spoiled to AC now. Anyway....
Am going tomorrow to get the material to build a brooder for babies. Should I keep them inside or...

LOL. I've got you beat with the new kid thing. But anyway! I'm really trying to learn everything I can before I am ready for my chicks. By the way, I am Peggy and will be 39 at the end of the month. Lived in Monroe/Swartz for 18 years before moving to Va. Left there and moved to Little...

Thanks!! You can have 20 in that space and that's going 5 square foot per bird and it usually recommends 4!! You would just need a run double that size!!
You just made my day! I had already planned for the run to be at least twice if not 3 times that size. But that is about all I can...

I like that coop! I just wish I had the room to have one like that. I'm gonna be limited on the number of chickens I can have because of my space. I'm determined to have my 10 x 10 coop with a decent sized run, but I know I can't have a whole lot of chicks in that small of a coop.
Ok, I've seen people talking about different things to use for mites and whatnot. Just because I don't know and am learning, but I think I read somewhere that the food grade diatomaceous earth was good for that. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Also, I finished clearing the spot for my coop!! I...
I kept going back looking for the last post I had read, and I was thinking that I must have missed some yesterday when I got on. Well I guess there were alot I missed because I wasn't on yesterday at all. I spent the whole day in bed sick. No wonder I had missed them. I promise I'm not a blonde.

I have never seen these but I am going tomorrow and look for them. I am getting carried away by all the dang flies. They weren't this bad here last year but I am going nuts!!
THANKS for the tip!

Really? Enlighten me please. I've always been scared to try something like that because the thought of putting water on something electrical like that just gives me the willies.
Lol go to lowes home depot or any hardware store and get you a fitting to go from a water hose to a 1/4 inch...

I have to agree with lamike. We haven't even had a threat of rain here. It's just been hot as hades. My puppys won't even stay outside but for a little bit before they are barking at the door.
I know I mentioned this a few days ago, but just priced them. They are called evaporative...
