Ive seen those post ideas! Kind of a neat idea.
I didn't/don't want a wood floor. I've fallen through a few in the years we've been here in NC (coops/barns & stick built homes, too). I like the birds being on the ground.
And since you've not seen them - here are pics of some "temporary"...
I will have to find the post I made in a thread sometime in the last 3 years. It had links to individual CPs built here on BYC for a newbie that couldn't get BYC to work for her... I think I listed 20 different members' CP coops & most had been individualized in some way, too. At least 2 were...
This one is LONG w/ quite a number of pictures.
I am on a constant "shoe string" budget. If i want more birds, I need to re-use or purchase items that aren't going to rot out. I also am not a good builder (lumber framing?? NO) and the family is more interested in gaming (D&D/PS4) than in...
An acquaintance in Louisburg NC raises them .
I currently have 1 black mottled hen. She seems to do less panting in my open air coop(s), than the larger breed "meant" for hot weather.
Hoping to get a few more & maybe raise a few myself...
Guess i need to take pics. Only 1 i have of her from...
...... deep breath, look away..... repeat in tone......I do not need new birds of a new breed, no new birds, I'm leaving for MT in 2 weeks for at least a month and could be longer, I don't need new birds, why would I want to learn about a completely new breed... ????!!!!
OMG, I love blue...
As an insight, I have purchased SS horse feed and other products from Carthage Farm Supply. I know they have chicken feeds but don't know which ones. I have stopped in there to get other products when taking our dogs/cats to Carthage Animal Hospital. When the girls' were really little and...
Have you checked Aberdeen feed? Other than them, Carthage farm & Feed (may b different name - Sothern States dealer) & Caralina Town & Country in Sanford - about 36 minutes up US1 from TSC in Vass.
3killerBs & Compost King - I I love going to Carolina Town & Country. I changed to them almost exclusively when we moved 20 miles further away from Lillington. Our property spans both Harnett & Moore counties and I,too, can go to Vass, Aberdeen/Southern Pines or to Coats/Erwin/Angier/Dunn...
Today is I think Day 5 of Hurricane Florence. Rivers and ponds have continued to rise all around - and a lot of the roads we have used/still use are completely gone around us or still closed due to current flooding. We are still good right in our little 21 acres, though.
We started repairs to...
AH - you are in the "true" town of Cameron, LOL... That is actually quite a nice little drive from here. Go to the post office now and then (not for chicks - have had them sent thru Sanford and picked up by CTC for me...).
Hurricane - Florence REPORT -
For us it's been high winds and today POUNDING, straight down rain - all day. It's filled a 600# capacity wagon to the brim and it's overflowing, all 100 gallon water tanks in pony pastures are full and overflowing today as are all the black barrels we put around...
Hi! Whereabouts in Cameron? That encompasses a rather large area, LOL.
Hope Florence isn't bringing you grief in your new home. We are starting to feel waterlogged, but we are draining well on all our sand, also in Cameron (between Hwy 690 & Hwy 24/27). 10 miles to Vass & 10 miles to go down...
HomeSweetHome farm - in Selma -
Did you get your Bielefelders locally? How old are yours now?
I have 3 quads - 2 hatched between 3/5 & 3/12 and then chix hatched in June 16th. The older ones are now 6 months old. Other than Florence throwing them off their "game" - when should I expect...
Also, Harnett or Lee counties. Both my husband, Larry, and youngest daughter, Sierra, work in Raleigh areas. We now have 21 acres straddling Harnett & Moore Counties, about 10 miles from US 1 (straight shot N to get to Raleigh) or can go towards Sanford via Hwy 87 & take bypass to US 1. Larry...
not a huge fan of FB, though I have 2 accounts and no I haven't yet... MY FB accounts have FUBARd not 1 but 2 different computers, causes this new laptop to shut down and is now screwing up my phone (only had it for 4 months). Hubby says it's just me - he and all 3 of our daughters are heavy...
One other thing - is there anyone in the sandhills or Piedmont region of NC (I have a Cameron address - sandwiched between Ft Bragg, Sanford, Southern Pines, Spring Lake & Vass w/ property straddling the Harnett & Moore Cty lines) who has a feather plucker?
I'd like to look at processing large...
Haven't been on this thread in quite a while... would have to go back quite a ways to pick up where I last posted, i think.
Not sure if I had last posted on the NC thread after moving to our new property or not (know I have posted on some others) in January 2015.
