Hi! I have had Chickens since 2012. I lived in town when I first got them. I thought getting chickens would help relax my desire to move to a farm. No way!!! They just made me want to move even more! I grew up a country girl, but moved to town when I grew up, and had been stuck there...

I have 4 bantam cochins that are a year old. The first three went broody, and when they went broody, there was no arguing with them. This last one is different. For the last couple weeks she will sit for a few hours, even half a day, then get up and let her eggs get cold, and roost at night...

I am almost done with my coop, and I put in the roost today. It is 4' high, and it looks so high up. I did make a "step up" roost, that is a bit over 2' tall. With the combination of having a couple heavier birds (Brahma and Wyandotte) and the coop being on the small side (5'x6') I now I am...

I live in town, and he just started crowing, and we can't have that. :) If I lived out of town I would keep him to breed, because he is so beautiful. (Of course my favorite has to be a roo. lol ) I would be willing to sell a pullet (pictured) with him if you want. ( $15 for both.) I think...

Here is what my chicks are living in now. It's big enough as a grow pen, but only big enough for 2-3 adult birds. I have 8. I thought about making a bigger tractor, but I got such a good deal on this shed, that I couldn't pass it up. I spend $80 including gas money for my neighbor for...

I made this myself, which is pretty good, considering I have no building skills. It is 8'x4' and 2' tall. The coop part is 4x2. Way to small for 6-8 adult chickens I know, but perfect for growing chicks! :) This is not something I would keep them in during a MN winter, but I was able to...

See update on post #9 **************************************** Hi everyone! I could use a bit of help please. First of all, I think I was had when I bought these cochins. Three weeks ago, I picked up four, 3 day old standard pullet chicks. The next day we went to pick up 4 bantam cochins...

Can someone please explain to me why I should insulate a coop when you have to keep large areas open for ventalation anyway. It does get very cold here, -30 sometimes, but if I am going to have a big "open window" what is the point of insulation? From what I understand, it needs to be draft...

I have wanted chickens for years, but I live in town, and just figured they wouldn't allow it. So, I have been saving the dream for the day when we move to the country (my even bigger dream!) I finally found the ordinance online for my town that says that I CAN have chickens! I haven't...
