    Preventing algae in waterer

    Sorry Pdirt, your post is much more clear. I should have put the word healthy in front of benefits. I do use cheap vinegar to clean and bath in, just prefer to drink the kind with health benefits.

    Minimum wattage for aquarium heater

    Just incase you have problems ( I did) I have just used two dog bowls that are heated. The work 100% of the time, even if 3 feet of snow covers them. I just shovel a path to them and remove the snow thats on them. I have tried several other waters that are heated and meant for chickens, but 2...

    Preventing algae in waterer

    I put about 2% apple cider vinegar in my water. I change the water and rinse it out every 2 weeks. I use a large white plastic waterer. You can't add the vinegar to a metal waterer, and don't use the cheap stuff on the grocery shelf, it has no benifits. I use the Braggs from the grocery store...

    Cleaning chicken coop

    Papachaz...they do get seed mix tossed in the coop, but they dont mix it up well, nor do they get it all refluffed up. I live in a resort area on Lake Huron and no smell and clean chicken coop and yard are so important, to keep the summer neighbors happy. Our lots are long narrow lots so the...

    Cleaning chicken coop

    I have seven hens in my coop. I clean the coop in the fall and the spring. During the time between the total cleaning I will add a bale of pine shavings as needed. Normally only one is added between cleanings. I sweep the used shavings in the fall onto the ground. They just sort of work into...

    Need to buy a coop online ASAP

    Maddawg, Thats a great idea. Seems like finding someone and having it built would be just as easy as what I did, if not easier. When I ordered mine I had to have guys set up to be here to unload it and get it to the chicken yard. Lucky for me I didn't have to rent any equipment, my brother in...

    Need to buy a coop online ASAP

    Yeah I do love it. Its about 7yrs old now, I was thinking 5yrs, but this spring ( will it ever get here to Michigan??) it will be 7 years old. Still looks great. It wasn't cheap, but much cheaper then having my husband take a week off work to build it. Like I posted above I just googled...

    Need to buy a coop online ASAP

    I ordered my coop online. I searched garage sites. My coop cost $1500 and was flatbed trucked to me for free. It came from Ohio, so 1 state away. I live in the "thumb" of Michigan. So it came maybe, 600 miles away. I picked the company by ease of ordering online and how far away it was. I had...

    Anyway with a PULLET SHUT DOOR set it up inside rather than outside?

    I don't have time to call and get it working right. Thats why I tried to purchase one that was a whole unit and installed quick and easy. I really just need it to work without a lot of fuss and time on my part. I work long days at UPS and spend Sunday at church and then with family, so...

    Anyway with a PULLET SHUT DOOR set it up inside rather than outside?

    I have the Ador brand and find it to be very unreliable. Sometimes works mostly does not. I am going to order a different brand. I am also thinking about the Pullet Shut Door.

    Review by '' on item 'AdorStore ADOR1'

    If you are home the door is okay. It does not open and shut every time. So for me useless. I need a door that opens and shuts while I go on vacations. The door sometimes opens all the way, sometimes only part way, sometimes not at all. Same in closing, sometimes it closes all the way...

    I have the same problems. Sometimes it works sometimes it does not. It was very exspensive, for the quality. I plan to order a second door for the coop, from somewhere else, so that I have one that functions while on vacation. We have tried often to get it to work everytime...no luck. We...
