55 machines sold, distributors in every province. SEE PRICING AND SPECS at www.RotaryFork.com The Rotary Fork is a machine I use to put straw in my chicken barns. The video shows me putting straw in a neighbours two story 50,000 square foot barn. This spring I rented a booth at a small poultry show in London, Ontario and was overwhelmed by the response, there was LOTS of interest. My background is in automotive engineering so I have been spending the last few months coming up with the best design possible. So far I have 1.8 million square feet of straw spread on this prototype. Let me know if you want one. Distributers across Canada www.RotaryFork.com Scott Campbell sjcampbell@cyg.net

Poking fun at the USDA for claiming Rabbits are Poultry.
Please help by signing petition:

Please help try to create change in the way Rabbits are viewed-they are “pets” just like cats & dogs are for some people. If people are going to continue to eat them, at least they should be covered under the 1958 HUMANE SLAUGHTERS ACT like other “livestock”. All animals deserve to be treated with decency before they are killed.
Dictionary:
poultry
(pōl’trē) pronunciation
n.
Domestic fowls, such as chickens, turkeys, ducks, or geese, raised for meat or eggs.
Poultry:
Columbia Encyclopedia: poultry,
domesticated fowl kept primarily for meat and eggs; including birds of the order Galliformes, e.g., the chicken, turkey, guinea fowl, pheasant, quail, and peacock; and natatorial (swimming) birds, e.g., the duck and goose. Several poultry birds, including the chicken and the goose, were domesticated over 3,000 years ago. The chief poultry bird is the chicken, which probably originated as a jungle fowl in SW Asia. Until recently, poultry were raised for domestic and commercial use on many farms in the United States. Large-scale producers now virtually monopolize the poultry industry. Specialized hatcheries deliver chicks fresh from the incubator to commercial growers, who mass-produce birds under precisely controlled conditions on diets scientifically calculated to produce rapid growth to market size, for delivery to processors. Many distinct chicken breeds, once appreciated for their particular combinations of characteristics, have been combined through selective breeding into a few relatively standard types that are notably efficient converters of feed into meat or eggs. The dominant meat chicken today is a cross between the fast-growing female White Plymouth Rock chicken, and the deep-breasted male Cornish chicken (see Cornish hen). The predominant egg type in the United States today is the White Leghorn chicken. Dual-purpose meat-and-egg breeds have all but disappeared. Turkeys have been similarly standardized. Because of their lower cost and lower fat content, chicken and turkey are increasingly popular protein sources with American consumers, rivaling pork and even beef in per capita consumption. A few breeds of chicken are raised chiefly for their ornamental appearance or as pets. These include the Polish varieties, characterized by their large showy crests; the fighting, or game, varieties, still bred where cockfighting is popular; and the Bantams, which are primarily miniature counterparts of standard breeds.

So you want to build a chicken coop? The first thing you have to do before getting chicken coop building plans is determining on how many chicken you actually want to keep. The overall size of the chicken house will depend on this calculation but keep in mind that every chicken should be given at least 5 sq.ft. of space.
I am sure you already had a look at some chicken coop plans and this is why by now you are probably aware of the tools you will need: planks, chicken wire, plywood, and lots of nails. Keep in mind that you shouldn’t paint the interior of the coop because the chemicals can be very harmful for poultry. In addition to that, make sure that you buy the materials from a well-known store in order to ensure superiority as far as quality is concerned. In case you are on low budget it will be wise to approach a furniture store and ask them for plywood and nails. If you are lucky you will get it for free.
The next step is making sure that the birds get enough fresh air through the day.
The hen house plans will recommend the inclusion of 4 windows, no matter how big or small it is. It is vital that you make sure that the design of the coop is such that it is easy for you to clean it regularly. Coop owners suggest using trays for the droppings because otherwise, it will become too dirty and you will spend half your life cleaning the coop. In addition the floor should be inclined. Why? Because this will make it a lot easier to remove water once you are done mopping and spraying
Lastly, don’t try to finish off the job quickly or ignore certain warnings because one mistake in the hen coop building plans will haunt you for the rest of your life. What do I mean by that? An example: the doors should always be pushed open and the windows have to be placed high enough so your chicken cannot jump out easily
