I previously had chickens when I was in the country...now trying to find a way to do it here. I'm in a tract w/homeowners assn, not a chance in heck I can legally have them. Do you think this could work...Divide my garage in 1/2 for the chickens with a coop in there. There is a door to the 6ft...
I'm going to have to sell all my chickens in preparation of a move. I have many different breeds and ages (pullets and cockerals), the oldest are just about ready to lay at 20 wks old and they range down to the ones I just put in the incubator. RIR, Buff Orps, Blue Orps, Barred Rocks, Marans...

I found a link, I believe it was a 4H-type thing about incubating chickens, etc. (I think through google - I'll try to find it again)
The author of the article said at 18 days, they pour out all the water, mix a solution of 1 part bleach/9 parts water and add THAT as the final water for...
What a great resource BYC is! I've read & read some more & been enabled. Love the pictures of everyone's chickens and coops!
