    Yeah, it’s a nuisance products often come with lousy instructions. Hope you get it working as it should tomorrow. On the video its seems easy if you set the timers separately.

    Question of the Day - Friday, December 5th, 2025

    What kind of white or red sauce? It all depends on the ingredients and the way it is made, not the colour. Fresh Italian spaghetti with the best olive oil and a bit of garlic doesn’t need colour to taste great. Did you read the news about the Italian Pizza, pasta, risotto, and tiramisu — all...

    @casportpony , what about an official contest for roosters with very large ornaments? Who has the largest wattles and combs? Or best picture of rooster ornaments. A fun way to start the new year. 🤣 ⬆️ Read the pervious posts on this page to get the picture. .

    One chicken not laying but all the others are

    Stress from bullying can make a hen stop to lay too. And I had a hen who was bullied who slept in a nestbox too to avoid confrontations. A second (small) coop can do winders if this is the underlying problem. If you want to check on red mite there are better methods. Easy to check with rolls...

    Probably, but netting is much easier to add.

    No storms or flooding here. In the Netherlands we have extreme warm weather. After a week with relatively mild weather with lots of soft showers and very little sun, December 9 reached 13.1 degrees Celsius, making it officially the warmest December 9th ever (since monitoring daily around 1900)...

    This is why I only have netting on the gazebo. The wind goes through the netting. I glued the frame when i started to use/build a run with it. The frame was not the flimsiest you can buy and it stands almost 10 years now in all sorts of weather.

    One chicken not laying but all the others are

    It is a bit strange to moult at 9 months old. But I have seen strangers things happening on BYC. With these symptoms I would say moult. I would wait for a new feather coat and expect your young lady to lay again in February or early spring.

    Windy hill chickens - first flock(s) of my own

    I have a cheap plastic one too. Other brand, same price and the same mechanism. Yours is probably much more solid and safer for possible intruders. But so far its works for me/my chickens. I installed it last spring between the coop and the main run. It only works with a light sensor. Didn’t...

    i somehow acquired 2 runaways and i have questions. please help

    Until recent the netted run had two separate compartments. I build the first run with a gazebo or party tent frame for 6 Dutch bantams. The second followed several years later when I had few more chickens and it got a bit crowded in the 9m2 with broodies and chicks. This second run was made...

    Please tell us how good it is. It might be a great solution for my chickens too if I see a mouse in the henhouse one day. I suspected that there might be a mouse in my henhouse too recently. The chickens ate very little layer pellets since autumn and moult started. For several weeks a lot of...

    Question of the Day - Saturday, December 6th, 2025

    Had pizza with pesto as one of the toppings. Never heard of the existence of taco pizza before this question popped up. So a big no. No intention to try either, bc I don’t eat meat. Is there a veggie style too? Btw, i did use the large (wheat) tortilla wraps to make a sort of pizzas with a...

    Yes. They never took me serious. So frustrating.. it still haunts me. Sometimes it’s like I have a sticker on me: “don’t listen to what I am saying”.

    That’s a very good price for 80 x 150 cm maze 5 cm panels. But they wont keep any mice out 🐁 . I have never seen my Dutch go after or kill a mouse. I suppose the neighbours cats do kill them and eat them straight away or take them home as a present for the owner. Whats the size of the maze...
