We live in FL and were thinking of doing a similar design with wind/rain protection on three sides and a roof across 1/2 of the top portion and aviary netting on the other half.

I did look on Craigslist and didn't find much. The Craigslist here sucks, everything is crappy and overpriced. What I did find was too big, overrun with grass and weeds and would be difficult for us to transport. I'd rather just pay the $100 more and get something new in the box or in panels...

We live on the North side of Jacksonville, near a large shopping center and close to the airport. There is a less commercial/rural area that people keep livestock close to us.

We live in the "city" and our main predators are cats and dogs. We are thinking of getting a steel/chain link kennel for a run and reinforcing it with 1/4 hardware cloth (already ordered) and pavers/bricks. We have aviary netting for the top and will most likely add a cover or partial roof for...

I have 3 hens laying and got 3 eggs! I have one that should be laying any day now....waiting and my cross beak that will probably never lay but is our pet.

Quote: Agreed and they are our pets as well. They are healthy and happy girls (other than my cross beak but even she is doing well considering), the non-cross beak just started laying pink/cream eggs which are lovely. I'm disappointed that I was mislead and now will have a hard time knowing...

My son picks up his fav chicken, a Golden Comet, daily and she lays like a champ. I agree with above, might be a food issue.

Yes, I've heard that - about the hatchery vs feed store. I saw her in the nesting box today and there was another cream/pink egg so now #1 I think she's an Easter Egger #2 I think my Speckled Sussex is still not laying and it's been her this past week or so. LOL! Funny thing is they both have...

I actually think my "Araucana" is laying the cream/pink eggs and not the Speckled Sussex. I've seen her in the nesting box a few times and then shortly after find the cream/pink egg. I'm bummed because I thought she'd lay blue/green eggs as she has green/slate legs and a rose/pea comb :(

My Araucana/Easter Egg (not sure anymore) spent a lot of time in the nesting box the other day but I'm not sure if she left an egg or if it was the Speckled Sussex. It was a creamy-pinkish egg so it's hard to say. The Speckled Sussex only seems to lay every 2-3 days if it was her.

She's finally putting on weight. I spoil her and give her Greek Yogurt and Steel Cut Oatmeal. She's beautiful and I wish she wasn't scissor beak/cross beak. I'll try to get a close up of her this week. She really needs the top beak trimmed.

I was just out there and they were both squatting for me so I took a peek into the nesting box and all the hay was pushed around. As I approached I saw a perfectly creamy white egg!!! I think I'll be adding some blue eggs to this picture in the next couple of weeks too! Spin off question: my...
