    Finally Finished My Coop

    I've planted the flower beds, so I can finally say that my coop is finished! It's been a long process!

    Kikirikis!

    I had one live in my quail hutch for a while, but she did eventually attack one of them months later. I can't say how they'd be together long term in a big aviary, but the two birds are about the same size. People in the Caribbean raise them in smaller cages similar to hamster cages, but I keep...

    Kikirikis!

    Here is a white moñahueso that I've just bought, as well as a bola that I'm buying. The moñahueso is a show-quality bird that cost me $320, but the bola is a much cheaper, pet-quality bird that costs $80. There's a lot of variety in kikirikis!

    Kikirikis!

    Kikirikis! They've honestly become my favourite type of chicken. They're super docile and come in every colour and shape under the sun. Kikiriki is the sound a rooster makes in Spanish, but it can also be used as a nickname for bantams in Spanish, especially Latin American ones. Does anyone else...

    My New Coop's Renovation!

    No, I bought it from a cast iron company in England and had it shipped over. It really is just for decoration, but we have a daycare at our house, so the kids like that the chickens have a “people house”. :p

    I read your response on the other post, and I have resized my pictures accordingly. I am new to this website.

    My New Coop's Renovation!

    I've added my stained window box and trellis to the coop! Come spring, the coop will be getting two large gable vents on both sides of it to add even more ventilation. I will also be adding flower beds in the front and this post box I had made in England. I want to mount it on a granite post and...

    Where are you located? How cold does it get for you?

    Seramas in Winter

    Do any other Northerners have experience with seramas in the winter? Here in the Boston Area, the coldest we get is about 0ºF to -5ºF, but we have sustained temperatures in the teens. I have three birds that are basically the Caribbean version of seramas, and I'm worried about winter with them...

    My New Coop's Renovation!

    The worst part is that when we went to look at the coop the first time, they were there (and rotten), and we asked that they get rid of them, but when we came back a month later to get it ready to go, they were still there.

    My New Coop's Renovation!

    My coop walls are already insulated with a combination of fibreglass and foam board insulation. We had lots of insulation left over from when we insulated our new shed/workshop so we could heat it. We didn't buy any insulation for the coop, and the only reason we insulated it was because we had...

    My New Coop's Renovation!

    I'm not sure if honeysuckle will grow in my climate zone... I know of some good native vines up here, but I need to make sure they're non-toxic.

    I'll be sure to do some research before I plant!
