Thanks everyone! I decided to actually treat the chickens myself, rather than giving them back to the seller at this point. So $45 later I have all the pyrethrum spray, poultry dust, and scaly leg mite protector that one girl (with two chickens) could need!

I would have gone with Luke Sky-bock-bock-bocker, but that's just me. :) Good luck with your flock! I saw similar coops to that one when I was shopping around. Good idea to expand the run area with the kennel.

I bought two chickens that turned out to have scaly leg mites and poultry lice. (So much for beginner's luck! :lol:) Anyway, the seller is very nice and has agreed to take them back and potentially exchange them for other chickens from a separate flock. I feel like I should clean and disinfect...

Just chiming in to say that I love my Cochin! I have a blue hen and she is my favorite... quiet, fluffy, sweet expression, and she is just a nice calm girl. I'm hoping to grow my flock with assorted colors in the spring. Curious though, does anyone know why Cochins aren't as popular as...

I've loved seeing everyone's creations. Here's what works for me: It's a 2' length of 4" diameter schedule 35 PVC (drainpipe) with a cap on the top, a downspout tie-in fitting on the bottom with a 4" deck post cap attached to the fitting. I drilled holes in the back, put zip ties through them...
