Well I have something in the back they could jump up on to get to the first upper level. Older hens I had isolated in there could get up and down so I guess the chicks could when strong/old enough. Your comment is ironic as the drying rack repurpose is the reason I saved them from the donations...

And follow this with regularly drinking the cranberry juice and black cherry juice doesn't hurt either. After having a suspension due to pelvic floor prolapse I do the ACV and juice routine at least once a month.

Once the damage is done it can not be "reversed" but can be but the symptoms can be. It is like the Herpes Virus... in the system but not flared status. Thus we "think" it is cured. And if you are lucky enough to catch it early you may "reverse the EFFECTS" and limitations it puts on your...

For those of us with MS or Fibromyalgia cafeine, chemicals, Monosodium Glutamate, artificial seeteners, lack of sleep (seritonin levels), stress, sugar, processed foods are irritants and flareup increasers. Also OVERDOING it as well as inactivity. One MUST listen to their body and do things in...

Wow. That is one I'd have to print out and read and re-read to see how much I could retain. After a stroke and only a few years from 60 it is a daunting task for me.

Thanks. It is an example of necessity being the mother of invention.

This photo might show better. You can see the latest two additions who I will be culling/rehoming on the lower roost that goes right through and the rooster on the ones that go over it. If the pieces I leaned to keep them off don't stay the screens on top will keep poop from falling into chick...

Nice job.

Interesting (the part I could understand). I bookmarked it for reading again later. Hmmmm may have to re-evaluate how I did what I did. It took a year from my fresh pressed apple cider.

Going to see if this is the same way I have made mine from my home grown apples. Nice to see you here too Bee.

Stephanie if you private message me and you are not too far I have a few chickens I need to weed out of my flock that are not Heritage RIR. I think collecting eggs for hatching/breeding program will be easier if they are the only ones that lay brown eggs. Until now I have only kept them for eggs...

Hey I go by bluebirdnanny. I am beginning a project on breeding heritage Rhode Island Reds to the old Standards. Right now I have a few Kittle line and a wonderful Nelson Line which I plan to be my main focus. I am in the progress still of building an Open Air Woods style coop. It isn't...
