I needed this right now! I had a very broody hen earlier this spring. I felt so bad for her, I shoved a random egg under her, then I ordered fertilized eggs online. I have a rooster, but more kinds are always fun, right? Well I don't know if it was covid 19 or what, but the eggs took forever...

I'm starting to think incubating is more of an art than a science! I read all the info I could find before I bought eggs and an incubator and then proceeded to do everything pretty much wrong. My purchased eggs took way too long to arrive, so I figured I was doomed anyway, but I put them in the...

I too was going to be content with my 16 hens and 1 roo (he was an accident!) But then my buff orpington went completely broody. I felt so sorry for her, she didn't even have eggs under her! So I stuck one under her just because she made me sad. Then when chicks came in at the store I got 6 to...

Yup, my husband said 6. He kept saying 6. So I got 6+6+6! That was last year. So this year I got 6 more. Then I hatched 3 and still have a broody hen sitting on a clutch, so who knows! Chicken math!

Isn't it something how that 1 little unexpected miracle means so much? I hope Cally has a long healthy life@

Catchy title, sorry to see how it came about! I hope you're healing well. I love the coop, I hope your chickens give you lots of entertainment in return for your hard work and sacrifice!

I kind of figured that out after I posted! It is s beautiful space! I'm like you, my coop is kind of sad in comparison, but I'm still pretty proud of it! It's amazing what 1 person can do when they want something badly enough!

Very cool! My coop is built partly from pallets too. I love your siding!

Really nice!

How do you keep the chickens from pooping on the chairs? Mine think anything they can get on is fair game!

hahahaha, my husband finally relented this spring to let me have chickens...he said we'll start with 6, but he kept saying it, so I ordered 6 for everytime he told me I could get 6! That was 18. They arrived yesterday, and they are so cute and so precious that I already want more! I didn't know...

best thread ever! dying!

I've had lots of different dogs and the one I'd pick would be a border collie or BC mix. They are herd dogs, so they may try to "herd" the chickens, but they're generally very gentle and VERY smart. A lot of small dogs have a stronger prey drive than their larger counterparts. I did have a...

I can honestly say that we do have an infestation of garter snakes. One night we came home about dusk and the yard next to the driveway was full of them. Another day I walked past this old shed that was in our yard, it had a hitch on the front of it, it was meant to be winched onto a trailer and...

I love ducks...I haven't talked my hubby into ducks yet, but with chickens on the way I don't think ducks are far behind! Yours are adorable!

welcome! I haven't been here long myself, in fact I'm just starting out, waiting for my chicks to arrive so I'm doing research...lots of information here and very kind people!

I know this is an older thread, but I was really interested to read it as I have huge cottonwoods in my yard that drop leaves, twigs and branches. I'm getting my first chicks in a couple of weeks and I had thought that running all the stuff through my chipper would make good bedding and be a use...

thanks, they're on my list because I think they're amazing looking, good to know they're a real possibility!

that's what I hear! I have small dogs, so I've already been thinking along those lines! I never let my dogs out unprotected as we have owls that will swoop right into our yard, among other things! So any chicks that come to live here will definitely have to have security!!
