#coop

Hello, All🙂 I just joined this group after weeks of finding helpful input to most of my Google searches that led me here every time. I started my chicken journey St Patrick’s Day weekend, buying 6 chicks at a TSC. (2 Calico Princess’, 2 Golden Comets, and 2 Black Marans……hopefully pullets) I...

I'm just happy with how the coop turned out and how the run is turning out. I'm just really happy and wanted to post some pics

Has anyone ever used this inside and around their coop? I am having a hard time with little mice all of a sudden and Lord knows I👏🏼can’t👏🏼do👏🏼rodents😵‍💫👏🏼 I ordered one of those flapped lids where they fall into a bucket and that will arrive tomorrow. Until then, I have all four chickens in a...

So we finished the coop and run last Thursday, so this is night #3 in the coop. It was a lot of work but I love it. I hope my chickies will be happy here. They all went inside on their own tonight. I love watching them grow and learn and making the Cottage cute for them (&me).

So my 5 week old chicks are outside a lot in their coop run during the day. I’ve been noticing a lot of wasps and I’ve just been killing them (got 3 so far). Today I saw 2 hornets making nests inside of my coop and it got me so mad. I was thinking staining the wooden parts of my coop would make...

I'm very excited to start redesigning our old prefab coop since it is not ideal for the Texas weather. The biggest downfall was how the coop would turn into an oven during the summers due to the poor ventilation. My family and I pondered whether we want a dog or chickens again and we just love...

For the longest time (maybe 2-3 months) my chickens would go in their coop every night by themselves, but up until recently they have only gone in SOME nights. They go in fine some nights and some nights their outside on their outside perches or just sitting on the ground. I don’t think it’s...

I have a small coop for 2 to 3 chickens and unfortunately one of my birds passed away from the coop being so hot while she was trying to lay. :( I don’t want this happening again but the Texas weather is brutal hitting 105 where I’m at. It doesn’t help that there doesn’t seem to be much air flow...

My Old English Game Bantam Coops!

found a huge copperhead - about 600 feet from the coop in the pasture? It attacked the tractor repeatedly while in use. Our coop is 18 inxhes buried down on all sides of 1/4 inch hardware cloth buried up snd over on all sides. Praying a copperhead can not get into tbat? Moreworried about when...

Hey y’all! I have two chain link dog kennels that I have used in the past for chicken coops but just stopped using because I built a solid wooden structure (2 years ago). Now I am wanting to purchase some chicks and raise to be future layers since my girls are getting older. So, I was wondering...

So me and my husband bought a house in the country at the beginning of this year. I've always wanted chickens and he grew up on a farm. We bought 6 chickens at first and built our own 8x8x8 coop. And then we got 16 chickens from a friend and right now we are down to 10 of our friends chickens...

Hello everyone, I have been using sweet pdz for about 2 months from now, and I was wondering if I was doing everything correctly (I'm pretty sure i'm doing it wrong). When I add in the SWEET PDZ to my poop board after cleaning the coop, I leave it there for my chickens to poop on it for 1 week...

So I have 8 chicks ranging from 7 weeks to 5 days old all togather. My older ones are about ready to go outside. If I put them out then waited 6 more weeks to put the others out,would they still get along or forget eachother?

I built a coop into one of my backyard sheds for my 5 hens a few weeks to a month ago, and obviously they would have trouble adjusting. they would fall off the roosting bars and basically slept everywhere but the roosting bars. However, nowadays I realize they do know how to get on it, but don’t...

Hi, Sharing our solution for connecting an Omlet go UP coop with a Zippi run. We got the run with a skirt and used the skirt pieces to build a makeshift tunnel. Much cheaper than buying the tunnels, which are really meant for rabbits. Might not work for larger chickens but our bantams love it...

Hello this is my first year owning chickens I have 3 red sex links that are about 6 months old give or take and i got 6 road island red that are around 2 months (not sure on their age tho) I'm in Kentucky and its getting really cold out I have 2 different coops the chicken are in I dont let the...

So lots of people want/have chicken yet they aren’t gifted with the carpenter gift. So for those of y’all who are like that here is a simple chicken coop that involves zero wood. First start out with how many chickens do you what? Or how many chickens do you have? After that evaluate how big...
