Stunning! Is that fabric or paint on the door panels (ie; the lotus/mandala design)? If it's paint, what kind of paint? I love this!!!!!

LOLZ I swear to you have had one of each of those recently, also photographed together....weeeeird! I also had a grape-sized egg. And...I also had one with an eery sun image on it; I was afraid to crack it open for fear of lightening striking me! (the egg on the left was obscenely huge...

Another crim'nal here..4 illegal ladies, going on a year now, with zero complaints. 2 of my 3 neighbors can see the hens, and 2 of my 3 neighbors get eggs from me. The 3rd neighbor is rude anyhoo so he can suck eggs. I've had 2 raccoon incidences (just a lot of squawking and flying...

Howdy all, I too came to this thread on a suspicion of having an eggbound lady. My lady was standing in the corner for most of the day yesterday, which concerned me. I came here to see what others have done to deal with an eggbound hen. Gave her the warm bath, massaged her, some white goo...

I think I shared my cost info in this forum already once, but it's been awhile so if anyone is reading: My annual costs are $2.10/dozen for my first year. Year 2 should be $1.75/dozen, then year 3 $2.50/dozen. I have spread the cost of the coop equally over 3 years, which is the life I think...

Columbus update: I ran across a SUPREMELY positive article about "urban farmers" in the (Nov 2009) Columbus Monthly magazine (a fairly upscale mag, so this is really exciting!). The story highlighted several individuals/couples, and mentioned urban chickens. I have a good feeling that...

Greetings, neighbors! I too am a Columbus chicken-ite, as of yesterday, WOOO HOO! And I am renegade. My husband and I looked into the zoning thing, and decided the hoop jumping was just a disguised way for them to say "um, no" to our application. Not only that, we object to the innane...

Hello Andy, I am your neighbor! I am in Columbus (and I also own 2 properties in Worthington that I rent out, not too far from you, lol). I have looked into the Columbus laws, because I am getting ready to build a coop and start out with 4 chicks. Thankfully, Columbus is also (fairly)...
