I have not read every post on this topic, so I apologize if I'm asking a question that's already been answered..I have 14 hens, none have ever gone broody, the oldest being 3 years old. However, I do have a 2 yr old orp, that I "think" is broody..She has NO eggs under her, she's sitting in a...

I agree with the others, while the coops you see look really cute, they look bigger than they are and made very very cheaply. personally, I'd find someone to either build you a coop, buy a prebuilt shed and modify it yourself, or look for something on craigslist that IS made by someone. I...

My first chickens came thru MPC via Meyer and no problems. The 2nd batch I went directly thru Meyer and no problems..So I can't say I like one over the other..Meyer is direct where MPC is the middle man but both my experiences were good ones

in my house without heat, (they haven't used the brinsea in about a week), it's around 62..I do cover their cage up at nite, and will outside to..of course it's an individual choice as to what they feel is best:)

I just put my 4.5 week olds outside, they are fully feathered, and weren't really using the brinsea heat anymore..They have shelter at nite and it's pretty warm here, I think they'll be fine:)

no expert, but red to me indicates blood? Indicates maybe coccidiosis?? I would bath their butts, clean up the butts and start them on corid.

I have australorps and 5 other orpingtons, (various colors), mine seem to be pretty smart:) they come when I call them, they jump in my lap when I say "up"...I dunno, the orps are one of my fav breeds:)

my coop is a dutch barn like yours. I have double doors leading into the run and double doors in the front..Here are some pics. My husband built the roof ABOVE the double doors, A framed roof, made for a 'high' roof for the run, but like you, wasn't wanting a flat roof and I wanted those...

My chicks are doing fine with this chilly weather...I rehomed my coronation sussex roo, snowy a couple weeks ago. HATED to do it, but he was chasing the older girls off the food, and it got to the point, they wouldn't even come off the roosts in the morning:((( He went to live on the same farm...
