We love this design, but need to do the RUN only (we already have a coop, but our run got destroyed in a recent storm). Do you also have plans and materials list for a run only? Which pieces would I need to remove from the materials list? Thanks in advance!
Hello Fellow Chicken Keepers,
We need to move our 8'x16' chicken coop/run about 50 feet from where it is now (to make room for an addition on our human house - ha ha). The builders said they'd move it for us, but want us to remove our 12 hens for 2 hours, while they slide the coop across the...
Hello, this beautiful bantam cochin is about 10 -11 weeks old and I still can't figure out if it is a pullet or rooster. It runs like a crazy bird when i reach into the brooder box, but then will sit calmly on my lap for a while. So far, no crowing. Any thoughts?

Hello! I got these 2 bantams at about 4 weeks old and the guy that gave them to me couldn't tell if they were male or female. The black one is a bantam Frizzle and the amber one is a D'Uccle Mille Fleur. Now they are about 8-9 weeks old and I'm hoping you can help me determine if they are Roos...

I've been tracking the weights of the eggs from my various chicken breeds, and the rose-combed brown leghorn's are significantly smaller than the others... like 45-47g while my Araucanas' can be upwards of 59-64g.
Why don't you offer to "babysit" his chickens until he has time to build a proper coop? I would say, "hey, they can live with their sisters in my coop until you have the proper facilities for them, and you can come visit them any time you like."
Hello! We have 6 girls of various breeds that are 28 weeks old. Five of them are laying very consistently for a few weeks now, but our Dark Brahma, Dolores, is not laying yet. Her comb and waddle are just starting to develop and turn red, and she is already twice the size of the other hens...
