Hey guys! My sister in laws hen turned out to be a roo and shes looking to rehome him. Absolutely free. Hes 4-5 months old.

New Coop!! My entire outside flock got taken by a cougar (caught it on trail cam) so I knew that full time free ranging days were over and I'd need a good coop for the pullets in my garage. The coop is in the barn. Its 10X6 ft (not counting the egg box), the wired area has chicken wire on the...
