My quails are growing rapidly, so I'm going to start building the hutch soon despite my busy schedule. I finally had time to sit down and do some planning last night, as I find that it saves me a lot of money when it comes to going out there and purchasing the materials. Here's the plan so far...

Here they are: They sure poop a lot. My homemade incubator that I used to hatch the quails:

I have 10 chickens, but only 1 is old enough to lay (just got my first egg yesterday). My question is whether or not I should put the nest boxes into my coop? The other pullets are 8 and 13 weeks, so they probably have a while until they start laying... What should I do? Also, should I switch...

Wow! This is exciting! I was watering my plants this afternoon and heard a *thud* in the coop, so I ran over and found my first ever egg! She must have laid it earlier this morning, since she wasn't the chicken in the coop at the time. The only reason I sort of know who laid it is because only...

Here's a homemade chicks waterer that a few people from the other thread requested: If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. I've used this for all my chicks and it works wonder. Hope that helps!

I just saw a cat pacing around my coop a moment ago (around 10PM), and this is the first time I've seen a cat in my yard. I'm just wondering if anyone here has experience with cats eating their chickens. I'm not concerned at night, since my hens are always locked in and secured, but I'm kind of...

Does anyone know where is a good place to buy feed online for cheap? Sorry if this topic has been covered, I already did a search but couldn't find it.

Hi everyone! Hope you're all having a great time managing your flocks. Personally, I find that it becomes increasingly difficult to keep track of every single chicken in my flock as I get more and more chickens, especially on a busy schedule. Therefore, I decided to use Microsoft Excel to...

I was unpacking some boxes in the yard yesterday and a piece of styrofoam (about 1.5'x2' and .75" thick) fell out. I left it there for exactly 10 minutes to carry some stuff inside the house, and by the time I got back the chickens have pecked off all the corners and a bunch of holes in it! It's...

We really liked the "Playhouse" coop that many members posted on this website, so I went ahead and built one for my chickens. I didn't buy the plan, but I got ideas from pictures of the "Playhouse" coop on this site and drew my own plan... So, thanks to everyone who posted pictures of their...

Hi everyone, I'm interested in obtaining some egg layer chickens in Phoenix, Arizona. Plymouth Rocks, Leghorns and/or RIR would be great... Other good egg-laying breeds would also be fine. Thanks so much! Edit: If you don't have any for sale, but know of places where I can get some in the...

I just adopted these 3 chickens and I have no idea what breed, gender or age they are. Please help! Chicken #1 - I'm guessing he's a roo Chicken #2 - I'm guessing a hen. Chicken #3 - I'm guessing a hen. Here's a picture of all three together. Please help... I'm very interested to know...

I just rescued a few chickens (1 roo and 2 hens) from a slaughter house, and I can't help but be concerned that the roo walks with a slight limp. Although he is able to walk on both legs, his left leg seems to be angled outward instead of being aligned to the plane of the body, and he seems to...
