Our first EVER egg from our 'Tina' (Dominique)!! We thought it was our RIR, but we caught Tina in the act on Sunday giving us our second egg and singing. We are beside ourselves! 19 weeks and 6 days seems like eternity, but i tell you, this is by far the best feeling! My husband was working...

Good morning! I have finished and moved my girls into their coop. I'm having a hard time distinguishing which to use, damascus earth or sweet pdz and where? I have pine shavings in the coop and a dirt floor (covered) run right now. Do i put the PDZ's in the coop and mix in the shavings (since...

Story goes: I woke up early on Saturday morning to let the chicks out and feed my dogs. I let the dogs out (LIKE I'VE DONE FOR 11 WEEKS) like normal and went about my morning chores making coffee and what-not. My shepherd has always had a 'prey' bark since he was a puppy and my heart sank when i...

Can someone give me some insight on the diameter of PVC pipe used for your horizontal nipple watering systems? I see how-to's and suggestions etc, but no one says what diameter or if it needs to be a certain type of PVC (i worry about when it gets hot from the sun what's leeching into their...

Good Morning! I'm having a small issue with coming up with a design for how to work the ventilation at the top of the front of the coop. We have boo-coo's (if that's a word) of ventilation at the top and sides of the coop, but I'm having a hard time with getting the front buttoned up. Who knew...

Hello! Can someone take a look at this gorgeous little Gold Laced Wyandotte (appox 9 weeks old) and tell me if you think it is a cockerel too? The way it stands tall, runs, tail feathers point upward and how dark the comb is (it only has one single nubby point, which i found odd too) points to...

Just wanted to share my pictures of having my favorite girl out in the yard with me yesterday. She's so much more docile than the other 7 hens in the brooder so i take full advantage of her 'cuddles'. Work it girl!!

Good Morning to all! I have recently acquired about 600sqft of ceramic tile from a free roadside pick up (Shhhhh ... don't tell my husband yet lol). I'd like to lay the tile in the floor of the coop, but coming up empty on which type of grout to use. I definitely do not want to use a standard...

Alright guys! We picked up our 8 chicks, roughly a week old on Saturday (3/30/2019), and they're snoozing quietly in their spare bedroom brooder. On to making the coop and run! I want to share my experience with the build and accept any information or help along the way. Also, ignore the mess...

Hello All! I am beginning the journey of making our property into our own little homestead, complete with .... you guessed it! ... chickens! I am a seasoned gardener who takes pride in everything I do, and am always looking for ways to improve. I'm open to any suggestions and words of wisdom for...
