I used mason sand in my coop..got it at home depot 1000lbs for $25. Best choice so far. Easy clean up. I clean it every morning with a cat pooper scooper. Super easy. The coop is always spotless... no flys. Happy Hens!

This is thier little yard

I got this big kennel at tractor supply and put the coop inside of it to protect them at night. It was only $299 and the roof was $99 i only keep in here at night and then i built them a little yard to play in next to their run. They are 100% secure. If you don't have a tractor supply near you...

Ohhhh noooooo I'm sorry that happend! I wish i lived near you! I could build you a secure area for them.... that is awful! My GF and I really feel for you.

So my GF and I built this coop in our garage. We have 5 chickens

It's been so hot at my house! , i only have 5 birds so i got dog crates and i put the chickens in the crates in a spare bedroom during the hottest part of the day. It was either that or get them an A/C unit.

I just took these pictures and had to share them. This is a lavender and silver laced. They are the sweetest chickens[/IMG]

OK, thank you. I just took them outside for a little while and let them roam the garden. It was hilarious watching them explore for the first time.

Thank you,they really are a beautiful bird. I'll be sure to keep posting pics as they get older. Do you have any guesses on age?

She is apparently 3 weeks... i also have a reverse silver laced orpington who is supposed to be the same age but i think both their ages are wrong. I belive they are a week apart. The bredder ended up getting us the wrong paperwork. This is the Silver laced, any age gueeses would great also

So I've got a lavender Orpington that I'm curious about. Does this look like a rooster to anyone? And yes shes on carpet for a few minutes. Lol thanks for looking[/IMG]

That's great advice, thank you!

That gives me hope, thank you for the reply.

So I have 3 chicks,supposed to have 4 but 1 didn't make it so I'm getting another. I have a Lavender,A Silver Laced Orpington and a Chocolate Orpington. The Silver Laced and Chocolate are amazingly sweet! The Lavender is not! She is a total hell raiser, she freaks out when we talk to her or put...

Thank you
