How not to raise chickens

looks like Dr. Seuss dropped a hit of acid, blasted some Jefferson Starship and rolled around on the wire with every Who in Whoville

We both laughed so hard we had tears streaming down our face. My stomach hurts from laughing.

I like the random bit about them nesting in the toilet... I remember the first time I walked into the bathroom to see the chicks sitting on the top edge of the brooder staring at me accusingly... They outnumber me....

You made ma spit tea on my screen.



Always fashionable, I went with a shabby chic motif for my coop. The nesting boxes are an eclectic mix of stolen milk crates affixed to the wall by anything in arms reach. As for the coop itself, there is a gift for tight chicken wire, which eludes me. Quite frankly, my first attempt at a coop looks like Dr. Seuss dropped a hit of acid, blasted some Jefferson Starship and rolled around on the wire with every Who in Whoville. I think I’ll keep it.
sounds like my duck shelter. SOme bricks left by the previous owner, a few 2x4s and a sheet of sunruf and some screws from the junk drawer.

i enjoyed that thoroughly.

Trouble i have is that my neighbors have been raising chickens since they can recall, and still don't know that you don't need a rooster to produce an egg. How do you tell some one with 40 years of chicken experience that they are wrong when you have only 2 years of experience yourself?

I saw this article on the net right before my first chicks arrived from the hatchery. I almost called them to tell them to keep the buggers.
