We had 4 of our 9 week old chicks go missing while we were out of town. Our chick-sitters could not find them. When my husband got home… He found them wedged between our shed and the wall. Two are dead and two are alive. So sad!!!! What is the best way to nurse them back to health? We have 3...

I am having a hard time finding a coop I love for a decent price... Anyone know someone who makes custom coops? Or know of the best place to buy them? I am looking for a medium sized coop for 6-8 hens. Something similar to this one

Hi All! We are new to raising chicks, but I have been doing some research and want to start with Easter Eggers, Australorps and Golden Sex links. Where is the best place to find these breeds? And what your best suggestions for coops that house 6-8 hens? We are in Salt Lake county.
