Poly Pipe Chicken Tractor | Spiral Ridge Permaculture Well… We have built several Chicken Tractors now and the latest version has been inspired by all our past tractors, needs and tractors we have seen online. Our newest version can be used for rabbits, weeder geese, meat chickens, and ducks. This tractor was designed to move from one zone of use to another without the need to remove the flock. The parts for this are all local and recycled. Like what you see?

My Red Stars are the stars of my coop. We got 33 of these April 2012 and they started laying little pullet eggs at around 16 1/2 weeks and within a month they were laying an egg every day. My Red Stars started laying at exactly 16 weeks old and never slowed down. We ordered Red Stars for the kids to show for 4-H egg layers, and my daughters won Grand Champion and Reserve Grand Champion, and Grand Champion overall egg layer at our county fair! My Red Stars turned 18 weeks old today and I had the surprise of an egg. I love my Red Stars. Love these chickens! Wow!

the Economics of Happiness | Home Travail du sol par un tracteur à poules : l'arpent nourricier Rap­pel des épi­sodes précédents J’ai construit un pou­lailler no­made sans plan­cher qu’on ap­pelle un trac­teur à poules. J’y ai mis quatre poules naines de race Or­ping­ton. Je leur ai donné les restes de cui­sine et du grain bio. Et elles m’ont donné des oeufs. Mais pas seule­ment. Désher­bage Ef­fec­ti­ve­ment, après un mois sur place, les poules ont gri­gnoté chaque plante et chaque brin d’herbe jusqu’à la ra­cine. Contrôle des nuisibles Je n’ai pas été re­gar­der de très près, mais je ne crois pas qu’un in­secte ou qu’une li­mace aient pu sur­vivre à un mois de traque, sur­tout à me­sure que dis­pa­rais­sait tout cou­vert vé­gé­tal. Com­pos­tage des dé­chets de cuisine De­puis l’arrivée des poules, nous avons un ré­ci­pient de plus pour le tri des dé­chets : la ga­melle des poules. Les poules ont semble-t-il ap­pré­cié ce ré­gime, et le dé­ver­se­ment quo­ti­dien de dé­chets de cui­sine n’a pas trans­formé le pou­lailler en une dé­charge in­sa­lubre.

The Poultry Page An on-line zoological garden of domestic poultry, including photos, video and information about various breeds of fowl, such as chickens, ducks, geese, guinea fowl, peafowl, pigeons, and turkeys. Various wildfowl are also included. And by my counter, you're visitor number since January 31, 1999! There were 108,350 visitors between 31 Jan. 1998 and 31 Jan. 1999 and 92,850 visitors in the two previous years (from 31 Jan. 1996 to 31 Jan. 1998). The Poultry Pages were last updated on 18 November 2013 The Poultry Page is brought to you, in large part, by me, with the generous support of Table of Contents below! If you know what you're looking for, you can search for it here. Table of Contents below Meet the Breeds An oddly annotated tour of poultry varieties follows. "Leroy Brown," my Gold-laced Polish I keep all sorts of fancy and not-so-fancy poultry. This started out as a listing of the birds on my farm, but has evolved into an online poultry encyclopedia.

Chick Care | Stromberg's Chicks & Gamebirds Unlimited | | Chicks and Game Birds from Stromberg's | FEED: Use a commercial chick starter for the first 8 weeks. Cover the floor with several layers of paper towels. Sprinkle the feed on top of the paper towels all around the area where the chicks will be. (Use plenty. Better to waste some than not have enough.) The chicks find the feed more easily this way at the start. WATER: Have a one gallon chick waterer for each 50 chicks. HEAT: The temperature where the chicks are should be 90 to 95 degrees for the first week. A good source of heat is a 250 watt heat bulb (red bulbs are better than white. LIGHT: If you use a heat bulb, this will also serve as the light you need. SPACE: Try to provide 1/2 square foot per chick. Watch the behavior of the hatchlings. DRAFT SHIELD: Cardboard put in circle about 12 inches high around the chicks helps cut down drafts on the floor. LITTER: Peat moss, shavings, or ground corn cobs make great litter. Increase floor area to 3/4 sq. ft. per chick. SPECIAL lNSTRUCTIONS AFTER THE CHICKS ARRIVE
