Duluthralphie - I don't post in here much but couldn't help but notice that your profile says you are from Orrock - I grew up there! Which might not seem significant to anyone else unless you know how small Orrock is lol. (Or was, IDK maybe it's bigger now, but in the 80's, early 90's there was...

Quote: I'm doing the nipple watering system. I wonder if that will help with that? Not sure if any dribbles down when they drink that way, as I've never looked close enough to see. Hmmm.

Thank you very much for considering it! I am in contact with Triplell and I think she's going to hook me up. :) If I end up being a little short, I remembered that Big Lots sells plastic tarps for really cheap so between the two I think I've got it covered. Thank goodness for the people on this...

Thank you! I was just wondering if dog food bags would work! I'll check some neighboring farms as well.

Well shoot. I just threw like, 4 of them away that had been piling up haha. At this point I definitely won't be able to build up enough of a supply before winter, but what a great idea!

Can you elaborate on what you mean by 'poly feed sacks'? Sorry I'm very green...

I was also wondering if anyone could fill me in what you do for coop insulating? We bought the insulation, and were looking at having to buy plywood to cover it because I was under the impression that anything else they would just peck apart...but someone on here mentioned foam board. Does that...

Hey Everybody - Just wanted to let you all know that we've got 3 extra beautiful 4 month old Wellsummer Roos (From Minniechick Mama/Prairie Chick Poultry) that we plan to cull along with our meatbirds in about a month. They are such beautiful and easy going guys though that I just thought I'd...

I have 11 birds. We have a 4X10 run as I mentioned and are planning to cover it soon. The reason I'm asking though, is that the run we have now is small and was supposed to be temporary. We were orignally going to expand it to be about 150 square feet. However after doing a cost analysis on...

Hi all - I tried searching the thread for this topic but kept on getting a bunch of random stuff instead. I have a question about coop size in cold climates - Right now I have 3.6 square feet per bird which has been plenty because they free range all day. I thought I had done PLENTY of research...

If anyone wants some nice welsummer chicks - I'll have 12-15 of them available within the next two weeks. This spring has been a never ending saga of me trying to get my hands on 10-12 wellies from a breeder. First my husband and I miscommunicated and double booked, and now after 3 months of the...

A couple hours someone pointed me to insideyolk where I could order just 10. So I jumped on it because it seems like order times are getting pushed out fast and it was already looking like may before I'd get them from anywhere. Well turns out I should have excercised a little restraint because...

I'm close to you! A couple miles south of Motley near Lake Shamineau.

Welsummers Hello fellow Minnesotans... Newbie here just getting started this spring. Been wanting to do this for a while but this is finally the right year to get started. I have a feeling I'll be spending a lot of time on this site. It's oddly addictive and it's really wonderful to see so many...
