    Thanks for the advice! There is actually more than meets the eye: There is chicken wire covering a fairly large gap between the joyces where the walls and the roof meet, the little holes in the front and also space that you cannot see from the outside in the gables. This allows for some...

    The Girls Summer Home

    Our chicken coop is about a year in the making! We started with a cardboard box, and we slowly moved into a coop we bought online. As our flock of three grew to seven, more space became a necessity. This is when we embarked on our final addition to "The Girls' Summer Home" as we now call it. We...

    Introducing new chicks to older chicks

    Rspoynter, I don't know that I would recommend putting the little guys in with the big guys at night. However, do let them out to play with the big chicks during the day.

    Are my girls ready for their coop?

    She is looking really healthy! Good job raising her! They look like they should be ready for the coop, but make sure that predators CANNOT get in. This is even more important when they are little. However, it will be good for them to get used to living outside like the bigger chickens. So...
