just ordered mine!! Sooo exited! I will put an update when I receive it and try it: first time hatching eggs for me! :)

I have never incubated eggs before but will try this spring for the first time! After hours of reading on the forum and checking out different products, I just purchased a incuview incubator from incubatorwarehouse.com. It seems to be of good quality for the price and I can't wait for it to...

Thanks alot for your reply, it just confirmed to me that I have to lower their perch or make a ladder with large ''steps'' so they dont fly off the whole thing. I dont want them to get injured even though they seem to love perching high....thanks!!

oh yeah and I forgot to say that on the floor there's always a thick bed of pine shavings...

Hi there... I have a small coop(4 ft X 4ft plus a good sized run) and house 4 laying hens in it...In the coop there are 2 perches at the same height, at 3 ft off the floor, that way the perches are not taking any floor space...I need it to be as spacious as possible because in the winter they...

really great looking coop!! I hope you like your new place, it must be hard to lose your home to a Hurricane, and I'm sure once you get all your chickens in there it will bring joy to your backyard and you'll feel more ''at home'' in your new home!!

really nice little coop, seems really bright and well ventilated in there, they're gonna be happy your hens! :)

Instead of using asphalt shingles you could use cedar shingles(pretty easy to install and very pretty!), then paint the walls and put some wood trims around the corners and doors (like plain 1X3 put on with nails, cause with screws they might crack), then find a nice little deco to hang on it or...

I have just processed my first chicken using the info on your blog, and it was perfect! Thank you so much, very simple and easy that way...I just butchered and processed 2 of my laying hens (Barred Rock) and was wondering first if it is normal that there was quite a bit of fat around the gizzard...

I tried to keep two chickens inside until spring because they had frostbite but after only a couple of days, I gave up, even with the best intentions. If you really want to keep chickens indoor, I would suggest you make them a special ''indoor coop'' so that the shavings dont go all over the...

awesome!! good job...and very inspiring :)

I know how you feel, i think it's awesome too. BYC is awesome.

Thank you so much for this link, it worked!! Wow what an awesome book! I think I will buy it anyways, but just flipping through it already answered some of my questions construction-wise...I love old books too, this one looks like a good one to have... And a great website too!! Thanks again...

nope, whatever I click on it brings me to a search engine or it tells me this book is not available as an ebook!

I went to the link on page 17 but I couldn't figure out how to see any pictures or to read any of the book contentMaybe I'll just have to order it through chapters...

oh yeah another question....how tall is the inside of the back part and how tall the inside of the front part....can you stand everywhere in there??

Ok thanks! I guess there is so much fresh air in there that the humidity just doesn't stay anywhere!! no need for added roof ventilation...haaaa I love this coop.

Thanks, you're right, if it's draft free already, why add partition walls...I guess I was unconsciously still worried ! ;) For the windows, I was thinking of real closed windows, either glass or plexiglass, for addes sunlight in the winter. I wouldn't put opened windows as this would probably...
