    Plywood brooding box (help)

    Hello, I recently built a plywood brooder box and I’m wondering what would you all add to it? ❤️ I put newspaper on the bottom and then filled like 10-15 cm of shavings that I normally use for my horses. I will look what measurements it is bc I forgot. My dad (I don’t rly trust him) he said...

    $5 Brooder is ready to go

    Save up or scrounge some cardboard boxes ($0). One packet of zip ties and one roll of paper towels is all you need to buy. Afterwards you can still use the boxes again if you want -- in AZ we put cactus in them for wastepickup day. This is about 5'x'3'.

    Cheap brooder!

    I hatched out about 30 Bobwhite quail as a first-timer a few days ago. I live in AK and the eggs shipped from Iowa taking 4 days in subzero winter temps. I got 30/43 eggs to hatch! I used the MaticoopX incubator from Amazon (amazing!!!) and now have moved them into the brooder. I used a tote...

    Dilapidated Dresser to Nifty Nesting Boxes!

    Even though my old nesting boxes that my parents built were still in acceptable shape, I needed new ones. I had recently bought several Brahmas (a very large chicken breed) and I needed something quite a bit larger and lower to the ground. Silver-laced Wyandottes in the old, cramped nesting...

    DIY duckling diapers

    For your amusement here are my attempts at making duckling diapers out of socks. Jubilee and Banjo are being very patient. Many of y’all’s look really good. These are… somewhat functional, they’ll outgrow them in the blink of an eye and they were free 😂 You can google many Pinterest worthy...

    Cost-Effective Poultry Lice Treatments

    Three of our chickens (they are an old flock) have poultry lice. I initially wanted to use a chemical like Permethrin, but my family doesn't want to due to it being expensive and they want to avoid chemicals. The only other two ideas in their price range I have are using a...

    Hatchalong and Ebay no-name Incubator review

    Hello friends. I thought I would post a review of a no-name incubator I am testing out from ebay. We loaded it full (23 eggs) a week ago with barnyard mixes to give away to some friends. It really probably only holds 20 chicken eggs at a time but I squeezed in a couple banty eggs too. As...

    Small, affordable incubator suggestions?

    All my previous posts have been about my 3 duck eggs and all my concerns and issues that I’ve had with them. I have tried countless times to make my own incubator but getting a constant temprature and humidity has always been an issue. So I am finally going to invest in a small incubator. I...

    Adopting geese cheaply

    I live in Carrollton, GA 30117. Does anyone have suggestions for adopting geese cheaply? I live on a private 55 acre lake, and built a floating island for waterfowl. I’d prefer to rescue older birds.

    I planted the root cuttings on July 6th. The earliest ones broke ground in 11 days. All came up within 2 weeks. Here they are in 3 gallon grow bags 6 weeks after planting the roots. I took the 3 smallest plants and they are now in big 10 gallon pots. Fertilized with aged chicken manure. Before...

    Adjustable nesting boxes

    It's not the size that's adjustable. I make individual sizes for my Dixie Rainbow, Barred Rock and Serama. It's the ventilation, temperature and privacy that is adjustable. Once a bird gets locked into setting on her eggs, I can remove the covering and let her get some air in the heat of the day...
