Omg I hate cat carriers. They are wasteful.

? I love my big cat carrier. I use them to transport both cats and chickens.. though probably not at the same time lol,

WOW that is Awesome! Would be great for my baby chicks. Does the top zip on or just go over the top with elastic? Wondering if it would keep my cats out.

zips, and is removable.

What do you all do for worms? Chicken poo is gross enough without the little white, moving, worms with the flat heads. I'm at my wits end. I let my chickens out during the day to free range. What can I do as a preventative to these disgusting parasites? I want to know what the more experienced people here do. And what is the life cycle of these, I assume, tapeworms? Any info would be great. Thanks!

Maybe? Or are you seeing maggots?

Anyone have an experience with speckeled sussex or light brahmas? They just became options from the breeder I'm buying from next weekend. They both sound fun but I was only planning on 8 chickens and now its getting out of hand.

Brahmas are WONDERFUL. I have no experience with sussex.

In amongst another thread this morning, there was a reference to composting with chickens.  One link led to another, which led me to this article on The Modern Homestead.  It's titled Feed Costs: A Paradigm Shift.  It was an excellent article and it is even more valid today than it was in 2008, I'm afraid.  I'm rethinking some of my backyard and how I can implement this idea even more than I already do.

Lots of information.. Wish I could make time to read it all.. Thank you for posing..

your simply coming down with COD also known as OCOD. Chicken Obsess Disorder or Obsess Chicken Owner Disorder This disease runs rampant with people owning chickens. You did not watch

On YouTub. It is an important worming.

Now this is completely accurate warning!!
