Awesome coop! It looks super functional. Great job on the feeder and waterer too. I'm looking to make some modifications to may waterer as well to keep it from freezing.

I really like your chicken coop. It's so nice and compact.

Great work! Awesome job using old materials too.

Great job. I especially love the feeder modification and watering hole.

You did a great job on the coop, and the sketches are actually pretty good too, and easy to follow.

I love that its so natural looking. Great work!

Your coop is great! I completely understand what you mean about about getting them out of the house.

Your coop is awesome! I love the color and the decorations that you have inside.

What a clever idea using the battery for the door. I still haven't made the upgrade to an automatic door but will soon.

I love the color of your coop! I also like how much space it has inside the run. Great job!

Whenever I isolate a bully, I typically do it for a few days. She has to sleep in the isolation pen too (just because I'm usually asleep when they get up). Then I'll let them all out together on a day that I watch them and intervene if necessary, I've had good success with that, but I have heard...

I had to isolate a bully this morning. One of my new Swedish Flower Hens (let's call her Sophia), has been harassing the two Silver Laced Wyandottes (Emma and Eva). She'll be in timeout for a few days.

I moved the new girls outside. So far so good.

They're native to Sweden, lay extra large light brown eggs, and supposedly out produce Orpingtons. I just think they're beautiful! I wanted to add a few more hens to my mixed breed stock. I saw an ad onCraisglist for Splash Marans, but she sold out before I could get there. So I bought those...
