Corona (8 years old) & Kaluah (12 years old) pitties

@aart Here is the frame hubby made for drying my grinds He made it to fit our wheelbarrow

I was originally just dumping them in a wheelbarrow and waiting… not the best. Then I started spreading them out on a tarp which was better but still took a while if there was any amount of wetness to them, which there usually was. Then hubby made me a frame with hardware cloth (for strength)...

I have been collecting coffee grinds for the past 1-2 months from local coffee shops and drying them. I finally had 2 big garbage cans full so today I did a spring coop clean out and removed the Stall Dry I had been using in the poop board and replaced it with the grinds. The coop smells...

I made my road side sign today!!

Well this happened yesterday but, we finished getting hardware mesh over the windows and opened up the big window we didn’t get cut out last fall before we moved them in. Lots of air flow now!! And started to remove the plastic off the run. I also rehung their tire swing with chain and made...

You’re right, I didn’t list them in my pice list but I think I did mention that we had a friend mill all our wood. I can update my list with how many we used - once I ask my husband, he took care of that list lol His friend didn’t several 2x4 and 2x6. We were very lucky to not have to pay for...

I don’t remember no, we just got them from our local building supply. We are located in NS, Canada so it may not be the same available to you anyways.

Our first coop has these clear panels for the roof. The coop is now 4 years old, has been moved from our old house to the new property and the panels are still in good shape. Our coop has never been in full sun so the girls don’t cook, but they are able to go under the coop if they need complete...

I recommend Fireball for best results 😉

Interesting, I have never had my girls do this before so I would never have thought that. I guess these new girls might be doing it! Sadly, all my problems started when these new girls came. Sigh. Thank you!

I will switch back to the previous feed, sadly I bought 4 bags of this stuff last time. So I need to go through it. I will spray everyone down with my Dr. Doom spray in the mean time though. Thank you.

These 2 hens are bullies, which is why I separated them from the main flock. They have never free-ranged before, we have had way too many previous losses with predators, so we no longer allow anyone to free-range. My other rooster in the big coop has wispy-looking neck feathers with a bald...

Hi @nuthatched We get it at Peavy Mart. I was using feed from Shur-Gain but switched to this recently... However, I think the problem was noticed on the other birds prior to this feed being started but <i can't remember for certain. Crude Protein (min) 16.0% Phosphorus (act) 0.7% Crude Fat...
