    Post your ''Other'' Uses for feed bags

    Agh, I just found this thread and I LOVE all the bag examples :). I've been making tote bags for anyone and everyone and I love them. Recently I got a serger and decided to try a few super fast and easy grocery bags. They're unlined so they're done in a jiff. The hardest part was trying to...

    Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

    Howdy!! We just moved to the northern Seattle area last month to join my husband that started his new job a month before our move. We are still getting settled in. My hens and baby girls made the 4 day journey across the country (from eastern TN) along with me, my mom, my two kids, 4 dogs...

    Review by '' on item 'Plastic Nesting Box'

    I really love this box, it's just what we needed be be able to attach it to the back porch. We have three roaming leghorns that insisted on laying by the dogs' lixit and it became a competition to see who could get the eggs (or for us to remember when it was laying time!). We were about to...

    This is my first time raising chickens! My grandfather had an egg business, so I guess my love of the chickens came from him! I love my animals, but three dogs is about all we can handle, especially with a new little one, so my mind wandered back to chickens. My husband had agreed to chickens...

    Upcycled Chicken Feed Bag bags (pic heavy)

    @bella1210, yep, lots of sewing, but fast, easy stitches. The only drawback might be is you need a really patient machine. The material is so slippery that the feed dogs can't grip it well, so finishing the bag is a little, well, I just have to pay real attention (I usually watch tv when I...

    Upcycled Chicken Feed Bag bags (pic heavy)

    Awwww!! Thanks everyone! I will try to get some instructions together. A large amount depends on the bag you are cutting from, so I'll probably post a few variations once I get some pictures of the next bags being cut. I would definitely consider a trade of good condition bags for a finished...

    Upcycled Chicken Feed Bag bags (pic heavy)

    So after seeing a reader submitted blurb in a chicken magazine about making a reuseable bag out of her Layena bag with a tiny photo I was intrigued. I had to try. I layed out the first empty bag I had and got out my sissors. It was much easier than expected, the bag was pratically lined up...

    Texas

    Hi there! We're in Bryan (Texas A&M) but I'm originally from Austin so we're back and forth quite a bit. My husband gave into chickens "for the kids to experience" and now the chicken math has taken over, my granddad would be proud! I've got 15 teenagers that are about to need a bigger grow...

    oh dear, I've caught the duck bug!

    Thank you to all the horribly enabling posts, I've fallen in love with the runner ducks . I placed an order for 4 from McMurray (do you know how hard it was not to order 10?!?!) on my lunch break, I can't wait!!! I also got a few books because although my family has had lots of chickens before...
