    I'm say that'd be a personal preference. Ours is older than dirt and has this monstrous dial you set 1, 2, 3, and so on. I just set it on 4 out of 10 and let it be at that. And that was just for 2 weeks cause we had them brooding inside in the family room. When they weren't in there they was...

    Things You Wish You Would Have Known?

    THIS is the most awesomest thing ever! Unbelievably easy to make and safe as you can hope for if you don't have a mama or pick not to use a mama for whatever reason. My RIR twin terrors loved it. They more often than not sat up top of it rather than be up in it .

    Gawd! if we only had the property we'd have more chickens than most would want to count. AND ducks. My wife and I dream of pulling up stake, selling everything and getting out of city living. She's born and bred in South Tampa and when I moved here some 8 years gone now I thought..."nice place...

    My moto for tools that I don't have and need...want...is "if it's free, it's for me" I do a "barter for borrow" deal with a neighbor that has every tool imaginable. Whatever I need I borrow from him and in return he has free use of my ZTR mower complete with beer in the cup holder. If I have...

    Well, I crapped out last night. My wife (cameraman) and I were crammed in the mini barn till 9 last night trying to get this on video. First off, the girls weren't cooperating, stead of going up 1 by 1 they was jumping over each other or flying up from the floor...then after we got SOME order...

    Things You Wish You Would Have Known?

    OK OK OK so.... I wish I had known that even the most flighty " Handle me and I will scream bloody murder" chicken is not against being handled when it's in "Head off to the coop for the night" mode. I now stand in between the lower and higher roosts with the ladders in front of me and as the...

    Things You Wish You Would Have Known?

    Well that's what my wife and I say to everyone about ours. "They're the most spoiled chickens around" They even get frozen feed mash with peas and meal worms served up to them in the shade during the hot part of the day sos to cool off...we're sick. Yeah, I got no life... But hey, they give...

    Some well placed pieces of scrap wood and left over hardware clothe made up our younguns safe zone in the hen house we lovingly call "the mini barn" The main body of it was an unused ferret cage top on it's side. The "door" was an old grill zip tied in place. Not the prettiest but kept the...

    Yeah, I don't believe that either, If it were true, when people go out hunting and it rains, we'd see turkey laying around...like a "pick n save" don't you think? Pick em up, no $ for shotgun cartridges. I been out there caught by the weather during turkey season and all every happen from that...

    That made me chuckle a bit, I know the feeling. When I was a young Will we ate my goat and I didn't know it till my plate was empty. Think I may have said something like that... One day, we'll have our spread and have geese and turkeys. Maybe not geese...have a distant but still vivid memory...
