    Finally, the Pentacoop is habitable (a work in progress)

    After two months of struggling through angles, borrowing saws, renting ladders, waiting out rain, etc the aviary style coop I envisioned for my chicks is ready for their move.

    Chicks and Chickens Separated

    We sadly are only down to one laying hen so we decided to try again with more baby chicks. Would you suggest to still keep them (the laying hen and chicks) separate once it’s time for the chicks to come out?
