    Granny cherished the time spent with the many friends we made with this wonderful group and I am grateful for you prayers during this difficult time. She suffered a major stoke that paralyzed her left side and left her disoriented. Hopefully rehabilitation therapy will allow her to return...

    I'd love to see how your coop came out. While I haven't been on in quite awhile, Randy stopped by and told me that you had finished it so I will check in for the next several days.

    I have missed being on BYC and the many people who became very dear to me. While being an "old rooster" does mean that a life time of experiences and knowledge is accrued, the down side is that you often must face the effects of all those years. Such was my case. While my stroke was...

    I built this tractor a few years ago to hold six bantams. Since I no longer have birds I've no need of it. Anyone who wants to come and get it can have it. It would fit in the back of a pickup truck but you need to bring help to load it as I am no longer able. My cell # 517 404 4713

    New rollout nest design Picture heavy-edited 1/21

    Sorry that I haven't answer your question about nest pads sooner. Due to health issues I have given up raising chickens so I rarely am on BYC. The pads you indicated will work perfectly fine as the ramp provides enough downward roll.

    I also enjoyed talking with Mary. I sure have met a lot of nice folks via this site. My large coop is gone however the small 4 x 5 coop is still available. When the large coop was moved the small coop was damaged. Repairing it would be quite easy. It's 3 x 5 insulated and is free to...

    Been quite a while since I posted here and almost as long since I have read the thread. I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the fact that summer has more or less arrived in Michigan. Life has been rather hectic with my own health issues and with my old farmer friend falling in...

    Making the decision to cull birds due to age is a difficult choice for many poultry fans. The desire to keep birds that have given us so much can often create a flock that is no longer cost effective. All chickens are hatched with every egg they will lay. Different breeds are predisposed...
