    THis is Malcom, our Wheaten Marans rooster. He is great for the flock and doesn't bother with people, kids, dogs. He is our only full-grown roo.

    Jungle Gym Coop

    Linoleum/Vinyl Flooring.....

    We took an old jungle gym off a friends hands last year and it has sat in the corner of our property. Well, we needed a quarantine for the new chickens we plan to add to our flock, and my husband had the brilliant idea of converting the jungle gym to a coop. I think it's great for a scrap...

    Can you send pics of the Black Copper Marans? Do you have two? The Greeley show was a bust. Most of the chickens were sold by the time we showed up at 8:30. Thanks@
