    Help Picking a CoopCoop

    Hello, I have 11 full-size chickens, and no time to build a coop. I have pondered buying a storage building to make into a coop, but I was wondering if something pre-fab could be large enough. They will have a large pen to almost free-range in, so I'm not TOO worried about the space. I found...

    I'm looking to buy a new chicken house - which material is best to avoid red mite?

    I'd prefer to get a shed rather than a coop as they are used to sleeping in a shed on roosts also a shed gives me more room to get in and power wash and is easier cleaned out, it's mostly for them to sleep in as they will be free ranging for the rest of the day so no need for a run. At first I...

    What type of roost should I use?

    I'm currently building a new coop and I was just wondering what type of roost would be better/more comfortable for my hens. Should I use a 2x4, or a rounded roost like a broom stick or something else? GOD bless.

    Cheap, Relatively Easy House Suggestions? we

    I know that sometimes you can't get a large house without paying a lot of money, but we have 11 birds and 6 babies soon to move in with the hens, and we want to get more in the future. Only problem is, we have too small of a house to fit them all. We've been looking for a mobile one we can just...

    Do ducks get cold at night?

    This evening we put our 5 ducks in their outdoor house. They have deep straw bedding and a shelf to sit on or a sheltered area underneath to sleep in. The house has cut out windows which have been securely meshed. It’s going to be 12 degrees Celsius (54 Fahrenheit) tonight and I’m worried that...

    My coop/shed finally finished :) take a peak!

    Hey everyone :) I’ve finally finished putting together the duck’s playhouse - just a doorknob to add. I bought the playhouse from B&Q for £80 - originally £230 but it was weathered. So they delivered it, we scrubbed it down and washed it and once I borrowed a drill, read the instructions 1...

    Do you close your ducks during the rain or not?

    I was wondering, do you close your ducks into a duck house during the rain or do you let them stay outside? I am having trouble getting them inside, because they enjoy the rain a lot. For now, I'll let them roam around in the rain and get them inside at night if they don't go themselves. They...
