I am excited about the fall 'culling'. Can anyone join in? I would love to be included. I have a little experience slaughtering. I am pretty good at the killing, better at the gutting and suck at the plucking.

My floor is plywood. I keep pine shavings on it.I'm finally getting somewhere in my coop construction! AHHH! My poor babies are still in the garage with a little bit of time in the yard.
Question though: Will it be ok leaving the floor just as plywood and not putting anything overtop? Here's pics of the progress...and some of the girls.

Hello fellow Coloradans! I am new to BYC, although I have been stalking it for weeks in anticipation of getting chicks. I was still a few weeks away from being ready, but hubby jumped the gun at Big R yesterday and saw 4 little chicks on sale he couldn't resist. So we rushed to set up out brooder and are still working on our coop and run.
Now for my questions! I live in the springs and am having a lot of trouble finding good stores for chicken supplies. I think Big R is useless, as they never have the feed I need and are so expensive. So, does anyone know of a real feed store in my area that would have a big feed selection as well as grain selection? I need unprocessed wheat, as well as barley an oats and can't find them for the life of me!
Also, does anyone know of anyplace close to get unpasteurized apple cider vinegar?
Also, most cost effective place to get hardware cloth for the run?
Any advice or help in pointing me in the right direction would be much appreciated!!
Hello Chris. We do have a Tractor Supply in Canon City. Canon City is about 40 miles southwest of Colorado Springs. Also I would check with Sweeney Feed in Pueblo for the different things you're looking for like the wheat, etc. I believe Sweeney Feed will mix any kind of feed exactly the way you want.
And welcome.
