    Comment by 'Pojojuniper' in article 'The Deep Litter Method: All You Need To Know'

    I use deep litter method and here's how I maintain it. I put all the bedding (flakes) in at once instead of adding layers periodically. I turn or "fluff" it about one a week, bringing fresh litter to the top. I have an enclosed coop with a wooden floor and really good ventilation. Believe it...

    How were flocks of poultry maintained hundreds of years ago?

    I asked this same question when I was new and got a rather snarky and unpleasant reply that this subject had already been addressed in numerous threads. It was very disheartening because I had considered myself to be amongst friends. However, this is the answer that I ended up finding: Back...

    Granny's gone and done it again

    I plant beets in my garden specially to feed to my chickens! They get the greens throughout the summer then the beetroot gets chopped and frozen to thaw out for nutritious treats during the winter.

    Firing my regular seasonal bug sprayer guy, what are some organic alternatives to chemical pest control?

    I wonder why your ducks (and chickens, if you have them) aren't eating them?

    Pests eliminated -thanks to my hungry flock!

    Our neighborhood has historically had a problem with boxelder bugs aka boxelder beetles. Every year we had great swarms of them around the foundation of our house, living in the siding, and even getting into the house! We dislike poisons and artificial chemicals, and nothing of an organic...

    I hope you got a refund (or at least partial refund) for not getting the size you ordered! I would have been really mad.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I spent about five minutes picking slugs and snails off plants around my patio then fed them to my ducks.

    Rooster is nice to everyone, except my husband.

    Sorry I don't have any specific advice, but I am in a similar situation. Our rooster is always trying to get in a sneak attack on my husband! And he's around a lot, so I don't think your problem is necessarily caused by your husband being unfamiliar to your rooster. I genuinely think the...

    If you could build your ultimate coop, what what would you build?

    A bit extravagant, but if I could build the coop/run of my dreams it would look a little something like this.

    Two roosters...

    How do you sell your eggs?

    I'm new to this, and I have been giving my surplus eggs to close neighbors and friends. I am thinking that rather than selling eggs, I'll put them out with a request for donations toward the cost of feed and supplies. Because honestly I don't need the money, and I want to be a blessing to...
