    hoovers hatchery

    Anyone use SAND in the run/coop

    I am looking for 3-5 month old pullets...(NO ROOS)....not allowed! I am partially handicapped and cannot handle chicks anymore. Not fair to them. I do, however, have a small coop big enough for 4, and a large coop big enough for 6-7 more. Only have two hens in there now. I am not particular...

    Anyone use SAND in the run/coop

    My chickens always loved the all-purpose sand I have used. I'm in the process of changing out and cleaning out and have 10 more bags to go in there. I will use it more in the run than I have in the past due to the hens completely wiping out the grass. They have been free-ranging for a while so...

As we went...

    Be careful because they don't go away just because you disturbed them...an beware.. They usually have a front door and a back door! The only thing we have found that worked was to get a piece of aluminum screening and carefully/without disturbing them..lay so that the area is covered. THEN pour...
