I'd love to see your coop design!

Yay!! I'm so glad, I was really hoping to get a fun color from her . . . now to figure out who layed yesterday! LOL!

Really??!! That is *so* exciting!!

My first egg ever! It was laid yesterday: and todays egg:

Here is a picture of the eggs:

Here she is: She's from a neighbor who just let some roosters loose with her hens. I was thinking maybe RIR and Ameraucana . . . One of my hens layed for the first time yesterday, and I suspected this hen, she's been acting like she was going to lay for a week or so, yesterdays' egg is the...

Thank you

In the diagram of the rooster the feathers labeled as saddle feathers, by "skirty" I was reffering to how they flow downward, almost like a skirt.

OK, you guys are confusing me here, (chicken newbie, LOL) This still holding true either way: So if they have saddle feathers that hang down to the sides and look all "skirty" they're a roo for sure? Regardless of breed?

Quote: Yes THANK YOU! Looks like I have three more dinners planned What a batch of roos. Out of my 14 unknowns ELEVEN have been roos (and I know they weren't sexed & picked over, they were from a neighbors hatch.)

So if they have saddle feathers that hang down to the sides and look all "skirty" they're a roo for sure? Regardless of breed? I have a bunch of mixed breeds & they've been tricky to figure out . . .

Very cool, thank you

Thank you I don't think a rabbit feeder wouldn't hold enough . . . That gallon jug is neat, the more space I can save in the coop the better though. Right now I have 14 chickens, some are crowing though and once I figure out who, they're goners, so I do need something that will hold enough...

Another question cody, did you seal it? I have a cap for the botom end of the feeder so I can fill it from the top while the bottom is capped & then cap the top & take off the bottom cap, do you think that would work for this as well?

Ooo, that looks perfect codybird! Does it work well?
