    Working On The Floor

    I had something getting in and killing my chickens, so I added some 2X4's to the floor and hardware cloth. I used 2 pieces of 1/4" and 1 piece of 1/2". Fastened it to the 2X4" and covered it with Pine Shavings.

    Problems With Nests

    The birds wanted to roost in the nesting boxes so I added a slanted board to the top. It didn't work. They just crawled under it to get back to the nests. So I fixed it. I made a new Nest for them. (Good thing I bought 6 of these baskets.) Put boards around them so the chickens...

    Running The Electricity

    I used my mini-tiller to dig the trench. (Here I was using it to dig a trench from the house to the garden so i could run conduit to control the water I use. But that's another project.) Started at the corner of the shed... Down to the fence and another trench along the fence...

    Well I live in a small town in East Central Oklahoma, and my little town has an ordnance against raising chickens in town. I talked with the Code Enforcer here in town and was told as long as no one complained he would look the other way. So I am going to start building the coop, and I hope to...

    How long is it after a roo breeds a hen for her to not be fertile?

    As soon as my hens make that "I just layed an egg" song, my Roo runs down there and wants to make sure that next egg is fertile.

    Chicks from TSC

    I'll bet this a local store policy, the manager wants to get rid of them so he doesn't take a loss on them.

    Landscaping around the coop...futile effort??

    What they don't eat they will pull out, there is not a blade of grass safe from your chickens. I don't have to mow or weedeat my chicken yard.

    Pine shavings produce way too much dust, I can't take it anymore

    I switched to straw sometime back, it's cheaper and you get more of it. I don't have any problems with the chickens eating it. And they don't kick it out of their nesting boxes as bad.

    Chicken poop tea question!!!!!

    I would be careful using any poop tea that has not been composted and aerated. I make a few 100 gallons of compost tea every year and use a 110 LPM air pump to brew aerobic bacteria. If you don't add air you can be brewing Ecoili and other nasty stuff.

    chicken tractor permit

    My little town has an Ordnance against chickens, but it's not enforced unless somebody complains about them. I was told this by the person that enforces the Law, So you might have a 3rd option.
