Here is an anecdote of no small amusement: Shortly after Johnson our Rooster was eaten by a bear I decided to look for a new rooster.(See "The Three Little Pigs (Except with Chickens) Story moved to Member Pages) Partly cause I missed him and partly cause the hens were getting way out of line...

So, you're out feeding your flock. You step into the coop, and find yourself standing on the dry, bare ground. If your coop consists of the basic feeder, perches and shelter - here are some tips on making it look chick chic. Remember, they're chickens! Don't go turning your coop into the queen's...

!0 years ago I built my children a two story playhouse and sheathed it in stucco to match our house. Needless to say they outgrew it in less time than it took to build it and there it sat. I'd look at it sadly and wonder what I'd been thinking when I built something that couldn't be dismantled...

So, I started researching raising chickens in the fall of 2011. After a few years of "bird sitting" the neighbors chickens several times over the past few years, I decided I wanted to have my own chickens. But I wanted to make sure I would have time and enjoy raising them. Which of course, I...

This is my newest coop build. It will have a "hoop coop" design for the run and my DH is still trying to decide how he wants to build the coop. The run is 8x16 and over 5.5 ft tall so that we can walk in the run with plenty of head room. This run cost us about $250.00 to build. Supply list: 4...

10/16/2010 We wanted to have our Main Coop finished before the babies showed but life has it's own agenda and it does not always work out the way we plan. So the first batch of babies arrived on 10-07-2010 and they needed a place to live temporarily until we can get the Main Coop in full working...
