"Hi Caroline,
I'll gladly take it off your hands! Whereabouts are you? I have the opposite problem (girls won't eat mash, but gobble up the pellets).
Cheers, -Kristi

"One other thing, if you have wild peppermint growing that's also antibacterial. The herbs I recommended are antibacterial. The hope is that injesting them will not just clear bugs out of their gut but get into the bloodstream and hopefully…"

"Im sorry to hear about your misfortune. I'm just on my way to pick up fennel seed, dill seed and some tumeric as preventative measures for my hens. Mine are robustly healthy. They eat laying mash with hot water in the morning and I'm going…"

"That's so smart using the space below the stairs. Very efficient. I bet those stairs are at least 1 meter from the property line if they were built to code."

"That's lovely. It sounds like you have some lovely breeds too. You must be having fun. They are fun aren't they - so cute, I've got one, my Sussex, who keeps on wanting to come in the house! - I let them range in the back yard…"

"In answer to your original question, I do not have a Vancooper, but Duncan played a big part in the construction of what I do have (mostly alley-finds and cobbled together).
I have 1 White Brahma (white color), 1 BO (Buff Orpington, gold color), 1…"

"Oh, I wasn't aware of the 1 meter from the property line bit etc.... I've placed my coop in an unused part of our garden, under some steps, significantly away from our house but butting against our fence which butts against their fence…"

"Hi Penny, you must have 4 chickens then. For my family of three, I find three chickens just provides us with enough eggs because we aren't regular egg eaters. I've only managed to give four eggs away thus far, and to me they are priceless…"
Caroline replied to Caroline's discussion Golden eggs in the group Chicken Coop Co-ops
"Yes I was thinking of the VanCooper. I guess 4 is a good number for eggs, you must get a decent amount of eggs. What are your breeds? I got my three from Emily Robertson in Langley. One is pure Sussex and the others are Sussex crosses, one with…"

"Re crabby neighbors. Yeah, neighbor stuff. As long as you clean it out once or twice a week it really shouldn't get too funky. I find sand in the run really helps. When i first brought the girls home and the first poop landed I thought-OMG what…"

"Caroline: I also make sure that my yard and coop is very clean and non-smelly for the neighbours, although four chickens won't add up to large amounts for a while. Give your crabby neighbours some eggs and maybe they'll come around. Our…"

"Yes, its not cheap to get set up. I do feel for you-I spent about $1000.00 on my coop. I did the math before I started and I too was a little dissapointed that it didn't really look like I would be saving any money. If we just stick to dollars…"

"I've been an urban chicken farmer for a while and will likely be at it for some time yet. My start up costs were probably similar and maybe even greater than yours but given that they will be amortized over more than a decade, the annual…"

What's the 'classic operation'?? A VanCooper?"
