    Opinions on best feed.

    I used this site to figure out the best feed for me and mine. Of course, I prefer locally milled but it's a hike to get that for me around here. http://www.poultrydvm.com/feeds.php

    Most broody breed?

    Our Ayam Cemani went broody a lot and hatched a few clutches, and stayed with them a LONG time. Other than that, my Sapphire Splash goes broody but won’t stay, but my RIR is a champ of a brood and mom. My Faverolles went broody and sat once and then promptly tried to kill them when they...

    Common knowledge that an inexperienced person should know?

    The chickens don’t care about your soy-free, non-GMO, organic super-feed mixed with herbs and spices that you special ordered and costs $50 for a 30 pound bag. And they don’t care about your intricate watering system that you scrub out everyday with white vinegar and Dawn*, and supplement with...

    Review by 'weedblossom9' in article '$10 upcycled pallet run and PVC door with neither glue nor metal hinges'

    THANK YOU! I've been racking my brain trying to figure out a DIY door for my run... I don't want to pay for a "real" door which honestly wouldn't fit in the space that I have anyway. I had built a "door" previously out of 2x4s and chicken wire; but it's so heavy and hard to maneuver - this...

    Review by 'weedblossom9' in article 'My Newbie Questions, 10 Years Later'

    This is really valuable! I truly didn't know about the linear square feet for roosts and nesting boxes. I have a friend who is thinking about getting started with chickens, and I'm going to send this to her! Thank you!

    Review by 'weedblossom9' in article '7 Playhouse Coop Conversions'

    The only issue I have with this idea (not the article itself) is that I've really, really wanted to do this... but every playhouse being sold second-hand is listed sometimes for hundreds of dollars. If it's only 4x4 that means it can only fit 4 standard chickens, max; and I don't want to throw...

    Review by 'weedblossom9' in article 'Ravenwood Acres Upcycled Hoosier Brooder'

    Okay I LOVE this idea! Now I need to go find a hutch cabinet so I can try this out for myself! How is the ventilation with this one? Is it hard to keep clean?

    Review by 'weedblossom9' in article 'Dog Crate Brooder'

    Very well done - and I like that you made this a project for the whole family! I would have done it a bit differently and just put chicken wire around the sides instead of the plywood - babies like to see out and see the world around them, without feeling threatened. Having the top "open"...

    Prefab Chicken Coop Rip-Off?

    I got one from someone on Marketplace for $50. I had to reinforce it and make some modifications, and it’s not stable at all so I had to tie it down. I only used it as a “brooder” for one of our hens who kept losing her babies. Now her 3 babies use it but I’ll introduce them into the regular...
