One of my girls (have 3) has been sneezing and I can hear her wheezing when she breathes. She has been looking and acting normal otherwise and the other two are not exhibiting any of these symptoms. I would take her to a vet if I could find one that treats chickens, but I guess even country...

We got our RIRs in the middle of July as pullets and I'm happy to announce the oldest layed her first two eggs on New Years eve, the second one started a few days later. So now we are just waiting for the last one, I figure in about another week. Anyway we have had about 8 eggs total now from...

Well about 95% finished. My original thought was to leave the wheels off until I was ready to move it, but since I always build things that can withstand Gail force winds it weights a ton to have to lift the coop end to put the wheels on. So I ended up building a skirt around the bottom and in...

I bought all the materials today and have finished putting the frame together. Some of the tractors I've seen have a wire mesh floor, I'm assuming so the poo goes through to the outside so the inside doesn't have to be cleaned out everyday. If I do this type of floor doesn't it defeat the...

Hello everyone I'm new to owning chickens and am in the process of making a tractor for my 3 RIR pullets this weekend. I've picked out the design I like that will give them plenty of room 8' x 4', but can't seem to figure out if the feeder and waterer would be best inside the coop or out in the...
