Ok in my coop what do you all recommend for the bedding/flooring... I was thinking about leaving it grass and put sand in....

It has a wonderful Idea for an hom made plucker! You can use any kind of drill

This is what I use to pluck.

What happens to the feathers?

Currently They go everywhere.

Quote: That's what I thought, which got me to thinking. If you can get your hands on a barbecue grill hood I bet you could rig it to catch the feathers. Make it removable, and you could clean the feathers off with a garden hose.

I tried to rig up a wheelbarrow to catch them (it caught some) but the design could be improved upon. Only downfall to it, well that and getting your fingers whacked with the plucker fingers.

Exactly the same principle, just they have a container that collect the feathers.

Hey girl
Glad you made it back. My daughter is due 9/15 and has to go to the dr twice a week for stress test. I am watching her two daughters 2-6. They are handful. Boys must have twice as much energy. Sorry to hear about your incubator mishap. Take care.

Thanks. Best wishes for your daughter, baby, & to you with your granddaughters. I pray we both share pics of healthy babies in the fall!

I need to make something better to catch the feathers for mine.
