    Hawk Sighting! Any suggestions for adding cover to existing run with big trees inside?

    I have somewhat unconventional shapes to my pens and a big tree nearly in the middle of them. The pens are the 6' dog kennels. There were old pipes laying around from something and they were put across the kennels, bigger ones stuck inside smaller ones, until it reached from one kennel panel to...

    Working with polybycarbonate and is it safe from predators?

    The clear poly panels for roofing are tempting. You get lots of light but they can cause the coop to be extremely hot in the summer if no shade. It would be like you being unable to get to shade in blistering sun. I had these panels as roofing for a porch and they don't hold up that well. Sun...

    metal carport converted to coop

    Understood. The idea was framing the inside, but the roof and metal legs would give me a starting point, yet also some freedoms, and maybe more bang for the buck.

    metal carport converted to coop

    I would be happy to if I had one. I'm still in the planning stage of what to get. The metal carport seems to be one of the better ideas for my space and abilities.

    metal carport converted to coop

    Has anyone converted a smaller metal carport into a chicken shed or shed and run combo? I'm considering it and would love to hear you comments, good or bad about it. Also seeing pictures of what you did would be so helpful. With the space constraints, I'm thinking about a 10 x 15'. Thank you.

    Any Mystic Onyx Chicken Owners?

    Indi is beautiful. How old is she? What other breeds do you have and how does her disposition and temperament differ from the other breeds? Unfortunately one bird doesn't tell me how the roosters get along with each other and/or the group of MOs in general. My birds get along ok except at night...

    Any Mystic Onyx Chicken Owners?

    Let's keep this thread going. I too, want to learn much more about them than what can be found. Most information is just a parroting of someone else's article.

    Family orientated roosters

    What breeds of roosters tend to help protect and take care of chicks? I would be particularly interested in bantam breeds that do this since I love bantams. I've had few over the last few years, most wanting to chase or harm them.. I had Showgirls that were great many years ago. Appreciate any...

    Shetland Hens

    There hasn't been any activity on this thread for a while but I'd like to learn more about this breed. Wondering how the roosters do with chicks and if they are good dads, taking them under their wing at night.

    The "Ask Anything" to Nicalandia Thread

    I'm interested in blue buff columbians. On another thread, you said to cross the buff columbian with a splash. I'm curious why a splash instead of a blue. Will a blue work as well/the same? Thank you.

    British Tailed Araucanas

    Thanks ColtHandorf. It surely is a shame. So many breeds from other countries, yet these have never made it here.
