Can you post the information please

He doesn't list his phone number, just his facebook profile.
Let me see if he minds if I share his number.

Most of his chicks are $2 or $3 each.

Quote: I would have seriously considered getting it had it been about an hour closer to me. That's a big structure to load onto a trailer and haul 2 hours.

Quote: You are SO that lucky..... how else do you explain getting me?

I think you made the hole too big. Try a small tote. 12 X 12.

well I had the square frosting buckets, but they didn't like them because they were too small. My thoughts on this one, it wasn't big enough to put 2 holes in, you can see where I drew them off, but figured one bigger hole in the middle where a couple at a time could get in when they needed to would be better. The rooster was like "wow, we got a private room"

I'll try a cheap grass door mat and see what happens.... thanks for the input, I do trust y'all that have been crazy chicken people longer than me

ok chicken peeps, my youngest daughters boyfriend has a friend who wants 8-10-12 hens and a rooster that are laying or close to laying. She showed him pics of our different colored eggs, and he wants a similar variety, so for any one here who has some for sale, let me know what breed, how many you have that you can sell, and how much and I may have some sold for you. I don't have any right now to sell myself, but told him I know people I trust to get from....

does NOT require purebreds, EE's are good enough for the 'colors'.....They've just built a pretty good size coop and plan to free range during the day, as his wife doesn't work and will be there all day most days.

I am getting really frustrated with not getting eggs! I have 34 adult chickens and am only getting 5-8 eggs a day! I have a light in the coop that comes on at 4 and off at 7:70. Only added the light after most of them finished their molt. When I first put the light on, my chickens egg production went up to about 18 a day. Now back down. I just wormed them, so may be a few weeks to get them back. I have up to 5 broodies who have either just hatched eggs, sitting on eggs or want to sit on eggs, so I can excuse them. But, honestly, I have some girls who are only about 2-3 years old who haven't laid an egg in over 6 months! The chickens are all big fat girls with bright red combs. Maybe too fat?????? I have noticed that the chickens I have gotten over the past 2 years are twice the size as my first group of chickens. But, I do feed them a 22% pellet/16%crumble mix feed. So, I figured they would be bigger. I know change can make them stop laying. I've sold one of their favorite roosters and immediately 8 hens stopped laying! I've sold several hens, added new juveniles, and of course the weather is cold and snowy. Plus the fact that I have so many broodies who scream at the other hens when they are looking for a nest! Ugh!

Are you guys having problems with eggs, too? It's just that I WANT MORE EGGS!

Going on 3 months with no eggs.

LOL, I hadn't seen his Craigslist ad. I found him on Facebook.

18 gallon rubber maid tote for a nest box. big enough for two hens AND a rooster, and she still kicked out most of the shavings.

I may take them all out and buy a cheap fake grass door matt and put in there

Could put a board the size of that one in front of the tote across the front to block some of the hole. Could keep them from getting so much of the shaving out. I have seen my hens squeeze under something that was 2-3 inches off the ground to lay so they can fit in places you would never believe.

Well in addition to rescuing three hens, one of which is still in isolation the remainder have only given maybe 1 egg every other day, the Bantam's may give me 1-2 every other day since early December.
