How to Raise Baby Chicks

When the chicks begin to outgrow their box, you may move them outdoors – either to a larger pen inside a barn or shed, or to their new chick yard which you should have ready. A good temporary pen may be made out on the grass or in the barn/shed by taking a roll of one-inch mesh hardware cloth (welded wire fencing), stand the roll on end, and unroll it into a large corral; you can wiretie …

Pole Barn vs Metal Barn….pros and cons? – Page 4

One other thing no one has mentioned is long term value. Most pole barns, at least in this area, aren’t considered to be worth that much or add much to the value of a property, unless they are exceptionally nice, with finished interiors, etc. I suppose that is because most that build them are saving money, so they usually aren’t insulated and are just basic buildings.

Raising Chickens/Building a Pen – Wikibooks, collection of open

From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection

Simple, Green, Frugal Co

Pat, thanks and good luck with the township rules. Unfortunately, livestock zoning sometimes can be a good thing, but the rules are one-size-fits-all. Chickens in the city can be a problem, with rodents following the easy grain source. That problem is real because a laying flock is there 365 days a year. But, with meat chickens, a batch could be raised before the rodents moved in, and if …

May 19, 2009Allene Reynolds

Keeping chickens as pets has, in the past few years, become very popular. They are practical because they eat insects, useful because they lay eggs, and are lots of fun to watch. Three or four hens scratching about and singing for their supper makes for pleasant contentment. But where do you keep them?
