Is that going to be enough for 10 chickens?

I have 2 quart jars for the pen of ten. And 1 for my 2 calls. And 2 for all the chicks. Looking for a larger glass jars. Wanted to try this asap. So used what I had...Lol. May have to upgrade. Everything o read online makes me want to add so much more to it.

Ask the bakery dept @ your grocery store for frosting tubs, they're either 3 or 5 gallons.

Thank you I will stop at the store today and ask.

Anybody interested? Have 2 banties that I am willing to part with. One brown, one white. Not sure what breed they are. Just not keeping all the ones I got when I bought Si. No pressure, they can stay here, just wanted to see if someone wants them.......They will be 4 weeks this Friday.
First one:










Second one:









My mom is still visiting and promised to take her to Roots this morning, so I can bring them along if anyone is going. Gonna leave around 9ish, so let me know and I'll bring em Or we can set up a time to get them to you.

Cool though!

The Green Dragon Exotic Sale is this Saturday, I would guess a few from the PA Unite thread will be there.

Bobbie, I just sold a nice MF Cochin boy...I was even going to ask you before I sold him, but didn't want to seem pushy. I got my first birds from Gaetano Farms in Connecticut. This New Years hatch I hatched out some eggs from Nancy (Fancy Feathers?) here on BYC, I'm really liking her line, not bad coloring and some type too!

Oh lucky ducky! I LOVE Beth's birds!

Newbie here in Millmont, PA - Originally from Australia

No chickens as of yet, waiting for the go ahead from hubby to get some now that I have talked him into it hahaha.

Anyone know anywhere I can get any Speckled Sussex that are laying age? That is the kind we are looking for. Any help would be greatly appreciated from this newbie!!

Welcome!

Got some new pics today.
The girls are really getting bigger..at least they feel like it!

Ginger is the BL & Babs Is the Partridge. Ginger is steadily laying, but she gets so crazy befor she does, it gets Babs all excited too. when she finally lays, all is quite again...I don't know what her deal is

...any body maybe have a clue?






We moved the "quick setup" -Play pen" to the front of the coop area form the garden(finally got that in) for more yard time. They are lovin' it & so am I, less mess in the coop! The little "shed" to the left is the "chicken shed", I get to put all my stuff in there., even my chicken boots! keeps everything organised & secure. Sorry for taking up so much room guys

, I just love to take pictures & I get alittle excited to show everyone...

Perfecto!

Well, I just had my khakis attacked by a Great Horned Owl. Not quite sure what to do at the moment. No casualties, left a big dent in the bird wire though. Scared the living h*** out of me when I heard Dolly screaming at the top of her lungs! I can't be blasting away at the dang bird in the middle of the night, and I'm sure they're protected anyways

just another thing I have to worry about now I guess. I threw a big tractor/car cover over the duck run (they're in a tractor) so hopefully when he figures out he can't get in, he'll leave them alone...makes me mad that I can't fight back when he's after my babies!!!

Holy crap!

Thanks!

I tend to stick with clinical studies as there are plenty available online, sometimes writers pick what they want out of them and leave the rest! They can get extremely involved and hard to understand, but most times they include a conclusion, results, discussion or such.

Thank you *Sally, we are still working on the setup. The lean-to is coming...just waiting for the "guys" to get here and put it up! It can't happen soon enough!! tired of the tarp!..I am noticing though that even when I think I'll be done, well....have read too many post to know that is impossible now..
