Stripes and Checkers

Hello! Are there any BYC members in Southern New Hampshire or Northern Massachusetts who will be selling pullets this Spring? I'm looking for any good layer breeds. Standards or bantams. Only need 6. Thank you!!!!!

Oops! Sorry! I totally didn't see it there. Now I do! Thanks again!

Hello! My humble apologies if this question has been answered numerous times before. When I log in there are lots of posts in bold lettering with a little yellow chick next to them. Can someone tell me what that means? I was thinking maybe it's a new post possibly? Not sure. Thank you very...

oops! Sorry! 6 chickens. Thanks!

Excellent! Thanks for the info and good questions! I suppose I was totally vague and there does seem to be about a trillion different thoughts on the matter! The coop will be 6x8 (or really 5.25 x 7.25 if you want to be technical! ) Plywood floor topped with textured vinyl. It probably will...

Good advice! And thanks for the link!!! Very helpful!!!! I love BYC!!!!!

Hello! We are considering installing an exhaust fan at the top of the coop to increase ventilation. My husband is a computer guy and has tons of those computer case fans. He was thinking of putting two in the coop instead of buying an official exhaust fan. Anyone ever do this? Any thoughts...

OMG! That is the NICEST COOP EVER!!!!!!!!! Normal chicken folks just simply can't do that.

These are fantastic!

Perfect!!!! Thank you!!!!
