The "Ducken" Coop!Hello, I am SettlersDream Farm and I am from Ontario Canada. I started having chickens about three years ago. The only breeds that I had ever had were some White Leghorns, Shaver Red Sex Links, my rooster rocky and my rescue hen bonnie. I always loved poultry especially ducks and chickens. I have just recently been studying chicken and duck breeds over the past year so by now I know my stuff. I had decided last year that I was going to get some new birds just to add to the current flock within their old nasty coop. I didn't think I was going to have... read more

Welcome to Debby10's Roost      Here's the latest and greatest stage of construction of my coop:            The chicken doors are also the ramps.  There is one on each end, which will be convenient if I ever divide the coop.  I'm closing in on the completion and will certainly be ready for the chicks when they arrive on May 15.  Can't wait.  Then I'll have chickens instead of a horse to model the coop!   Here is the construction story: Until very recently I had never posted on your site, but have learned so much from lurking.  The information is very much appreciated as... read more

The Chicken Gardenby Mike & Christine One of the greatest benefits to raising chickens is the abundance of fertilizer they so freely provide while eating weeds and bugs. So it only makes sense that chickens and gardens should go together. Or should they? Follow along through the trials and tribulations as we build our chicken garden. The Best Laid PlansIf the chickens and the garden are meant to be together then a plan would need to be developed. For starters we would need a place to house the birds and keep all the related tools and supplies. A quick search of the... read more

My New Chicken Coop!It started out as my long South facing horse shelter.The horse barn is a metal building with steel frame. I enclosed 2 of the horse stalls with welded wire for the chicken run.The part where the coop is now, used to be open like the stalls.Then my handy husband made a front wall and a side wall.We didn't draw up plans because we had to work with the metal wall already there.   The front wall is 12 ft wide. The shed is 17 ft deep.   We used 2X4 wood frame and used self taping metal screws to hook the wood to the metal. We used O.S.B for the walls and... read more

Chicken CoopI have been searching the internet for the past several months for ideas of building a chicken coop in my backyard for my  hens.I ended up buying 8-8 ft posts, some 6ft high field wire and some bird netting for the top.  I already had their housing which consisted of a "Hen House" with a small run.  I made the enclosure 12 foot by 12 foot  and topped it with the 14 x 14 bird netting (only 8.00 Bird-X). I am currently altering the hen house by taking off the small enclosure that had been attached previously.The whole enclosure cost around 112.00 to build and... read more
