"I would go for the metal one.... I just had to replace the heavy rubber trash cans I kept extra feed, etc. in with metal ones because the roof rats ate into them. grrrrrr We do live in North Central, where the rat issue may be more of a problem."
"i got mine from maricopa county.

"I think almost anyone can have chickens, but Chris is right, the shade and some sort of a micro climate for them during the summer is really important - they will need shade and ventilation, hopefully with some bushes or trees to create even a small…"
"So fun to get to a finished coop! I am sure someone much more knowledgable about chicken sanitation will respond, but you might really try to make it mobile - maybe put some type of bracket on the sides - front and back that you could slip some 2 x…"

"Check out the photos from the Tour de Coops (on this site, under most recent) - and definately check out the one whose photos start with the letter C - he has a great watering system, apparently directions on the internet. I will find out where, and…"
"My advice would be to get those trees in with a little maturity first. We have a very heavily shaded yard, and the chickens still seem to suffer terribly in the summer with the heat. Without some serious shade, or an airconditioned coop, you would…"
"Pratt's on Glendale and 50-something Ave had some last weekend. You might want to call and check - but they had about 10 or 15."
"I am guessing it was a roof rat (damn them!). Roof rats stole 3 cantalope from my garden, with no residual signs whatsoever.
Think Templeton from Charlotte's Web!"

"You may have found a solution, but for large boxes... try a car dealership service department. Some of their larger equipment comes in boxes....cardboxes that are almost the size of a pallet square, and about 3' tall... I have found such boxes at…"
"Hi Megan, your 2 ladies are doing great... seem to be settling down, and gaining confidence in their new quarters. Can you give me the name of the food you had been feeding them?"
"eeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwww"
"I think most of us would be."
"I would guess that it was a bad batch of vaccine or vaccination. I've never vaccinated my flock; I do spray the coops for mosquitoes when I feel they are a problem, or call the county about monitoring via mosquito traps.
The listerine (the original…"

"Thanks for all this great information - she seems to have a very mild case, they are going away already, and it hasn't affected her behavior or anything. I have separated her from the rest of the chickens (I only have 5), but that is probably too…"
"Last year a friend vaccinated for pox, and nearly his entire flock contracted the disease shortly thereafter (almost certainly from the vaccine). I went through a bout of pox several years ago and lost none. Thankfully only a couple developed wet…"

Hey Pam :) I am so glad to hear that she is working out well for you guys. Her twin, Penguin, is getting pretty broody the last 3 weeks. How's Frankie's egg laying skills? I was at the Stock Shop the other week and they accidentally sent us home with your bag of feed and left our there for you! Whoops. Do you like the mazuri feed for Frankie and Johnnie?
Baby is doing great! Declan was born on Valentine's Day :) I will try and post a few photos in the near future.
