Exactly what I did! Going back and re-reading the parts I noted as important... Though I do catch myself just continuing on.... It ain't easy since I want to try and stay caught up, but feel there is so much to learn here and even with my notes I am sure I missed something. Hence, the re-reading.

Kansas prairie... Thank you for your kind words. I think being a mom is pretty special. Living out here in nowhere land is another gift for them. Teaching these girls that as women we can manage on our own, use tools, play in the dirt and grow things, take care and train animals, raise our own...

And I have another et of questions too! I've been waiting to ask as I have been working on some of the improvements suggested in my last post here and catching up on this thread, BK's other thread and starting the FF thread. Reworking the roosts are finished, and I think I finally have...

I could not agree more. He is one very busy fella. ;)

I keep trying to explain to my hubs this same thing! I swear sometimes that man insists on doing things over!

I'm determined to read this whole thread... :D ...but I'm only to post #299 (outta 7600+!) :( I just wanted to skip to the end...let you OT's know there's newbies out there, coming down the path of enlightenment! hahaha Eventually, I will make it back here, to the end, again...& boy, will I...

Thank you for this. I am sort of doing the same thing, adding to it when they start to kick up dust and shovel the poopy parts out under the roost every few days and pitch fresh stuff in there. I have been meaning to pick up some DE but I keep forgetting to check if they sell it at tractor...

BK, I know you recommend pine shavings over the straw/hay and was wondering if you have any other suggestions for floor cover during the winter? I am sure that my hubs will scoff at the idea of purchasing pine shavings when we have these bales laying around unused. Is the straw really...

Wow, you all keep this thread moving! Bee, thank you for your responses to my questions about my coup area! It is great advice and I am heading to the hardware store tomorrow to pick up a few things to redo the roosts and see if I can figure out a way to mount that other nest box. I have had...

I have been "lurking" in this thread for quite some time, reading through and trying to get caught up in all this wisdom you all have got. All I can say is that I am so thankful that you all are here on this thread. I have about 100 pages to go before I am caught up to current, but I did have...
