Sorry folks that I haven't been back in but been in hospital. Appreciate your responses tho. Will try to get some pics later. Jim

Not sure where to post this or where to look for any answers. Problem and seeking solution! My chickens are losing an abnormal amount of feathers on their back over the tail area and immediately under the tail area. Otherwise all seems fine. Can anyone offer details as to what the problem is...

Thanks folks. My house is 12' x 16' and the two runs combined are 16' x 30'. So, you folk's think it may be ok to go ahead huh? Jim

Any suggestions here? The older flock (11 hens & 1 rooster) are 19 weeks old. The younger flock (11 hens & 1 rooster) are six weeks old. At the present time I have them in adjoining runs . Really need to get them intergrated so they can all be in the same house at night since the weather here...

So! How do you keep your eggs clean? Clean nests I know, but other? Jim

Lights! I've wondered about it myself. I keep a 40 watt bulb burning in the house (12' x 15' x 7' H, day and night. Chickens seem to pay no attention as Jo Jo (the rooster) brings them in at sundown and they all head for the roost. I have noticed as the days are getting shorter that he is...

Hi, my additional chicks arrived yesterday. A mixed group. Ren

Well, my dog is a chocolate lab and he loves birds of all kinds. I would not dare let him around our chickens but we did raise several pheasants to about four months old and released them here on the farm. Thursday, while we were gathering hay, he (Ren) caught one of them and brought it to my...

Very Nice coop (as far as I can see) and a great run!! Jim:)

LOL at the last post. How right you are. I will not live long Ienough to pay just for my run in eggs! But! i enjoy them and that is enough to cover the expense. Jim

I use hay in my chicken coop. I clean it once a week and put down new hay. Works great. I just rake it up when I bush hog and store enough to last until I bush hog pastures again.

Nice set up Bills.
