    Chicks growing up and need to change their food

    Fred's Hens : There simply is no need to rush the layer feed. No need whatsoever. Just keep them on what you have there, they will be just fine. Most don't really start until week 20 and then, they start in spurts and with tiny little pullet eggs. It takes awhile to get everything revved...

    New use for Gladwrap

    Like upcdayz said, it works in a pinch! Good idea to keep the rain out for now. Are those soda caps, (beer caps maybe?) with a screw through them holding the wire on???? If so, that's thrifty and cool!

    In the name of recycling - OUR NEW CHICKEN COOP!!!!

    That's awesome!!!!! You could use your farm logo like you said and paint it up as an egg delivery truck. And I definitely agree that the engine compartment is the perfect place for the nesting boxes. It's gonna need lots of ventilation, I know from experience that trucks like that get real hot...

    Is it too hot?

    Thanks for the reply Nikki. Yes, they've been in the house, that's why I was a little concerned about sticking them in a hot coop. I got everything locked up tight today and I'm pretty sure it's all predator proof. It's a playhouse style so the run is covered and there is plenty of shade. I...

    Is it too hot?

    So here's the deal. Our coop will be close enough to finished by tomorrow for our chicks to move in. They'll be 7 weeks old this Monday. The heat index here has been well over 100 for the last 2 weeks with no break in sight. They are really starting to get cramped up in the brooder, but I'm...

    Hello from Southern Indiana

    Hello everyone! I'm brand new to this backyard chicken thing. I got bit by the chicken bug a couple of months ago when Rural King opened a new store in our town. Took me a little while to get the wife's approval, but she's an animal lover as well, so it wasn't that hard. My 15 year old daughter...
