Thanks. We have lots of hawks, and the large bunny population here keeps them around. Just to be safe at this stagem, we let the chickens out when we're home. Hate to find one "missing".

Thanks for sharing that. I actually saw that they started using the roost yesterday! The birds seem more comfortable going in and out of their house now also (day #2). And last night they all huddled and slept together in the next nesting box from their first one. I guess they are trying each...

Thanks!

South Jersey, Gloucester County here! Brand new at this- have 4 chickens (2 Barred Rock & 2 Buff Orphingtons, just 10 weeks old or so..)

Thank you!

Thanks! It's a lot more work building the coup than I imagined, but it was fun. The family really enjoy the four chickens exploring their new place. They all squeeze into one of the four nesting boxes at night! I guess they are warmer that way :-)

Thanks- we are new at this so will be visiting (and contributing) frequently I hope!
