We have RentACoop door.. I'd link but I can't remember if Amazon links are allowed. It eats batteries like crazy and froze shut 3 times last winter.. It's a cool idea, I can set by daylight or timed, but overall I just eventually sealed my run and jammed it open.. The daylight setting didn't...

Thanks for the responses everyone! I'm sorry for slow reply.. For some reason I didn't see the notifications on this. I was really excited to try this whole experiment out, but for now it has been stalled.. The solo gold laced cochin chick in question failed to thrive. :(

Hey guys! I want to pick the brains of some of you all. :) I ordered eggs online through a supplier in AL and ultimately thanks to package handling I'm $250+ later and I have a single golden laced cochin chick. I'm working with USPS on the claim regarding handling issues, but that's neither...

Runs! I have one main 16x24 run with an 8x8 coop that is my catch-all. It houses my BCM, my EE to produce OE with the marans roo, and my brown "eating egg" layers. Then one 8x16 that houses 8 seramas, and two more 8x24 pens. One holds an ameraucana roo and barred rock hens for sexlink EE, and...

I'm not sure where you're located, but here in Arkansas I just find a neighbor with what I want and ask. My preferred is rabbit, but I take horse too.

Something like that, haha! I'm not too sure myself, someone mentioned it amd off to google I went.. This is what I've mapped out, with basil and marigolds sporadically planted..

So.. Anyone have tips on companion planting? I drew up a map that I'll share in a moment, but curious if anyone has tried it for veggies.

Hello! :wee

Probably an EE, the cheeks likely come from ameraucana used for the blue egg component. And then something barred for the barring. Likely ameraucana and barred rock since that produces sex linked babies.

Making rows when it's 85 degrees out is miserable.

The gray in the back is a Sapphire Gem "pullet".. Wish they bred true!

I love my Yell bird! :lau #3 roostered early 5 weeks old..

I have 24 pullets. Australorps, Buff Orphingtons, Barred Rock, and Silver Laced Wyandottes. My Wys are my worst layers. My Australorps are my best. I can tell my Australorp eggs apart. They've laid 7 eggs a week since they reliably started laying.. They had a starter phase with less, but built...

Bonus content.. All my kids from that hatch.. My fluffy solid gray and solid white pullets from that hatch are pretty nifty beside all that lacing. It also produced a solid black with a silver laced belly.

Welcome to another exciting game of "is it a roo?" Todays contestants are barnyard mix.. Most are from "EE" hens (so who really knows!), and all were fathered by a Silkie/Silver-Laced Wyandotte Roo. #1 - "The Grump" This one stands up its neckfeathers at other chickens A LOT. Pretty sure...

... Don't "almost" hit it next time. 🤷‍♀️ Seriously though, I would press Grandma to call the tenants. She needs to draw a line in the sand so y'all can enforce. Taking the dog to a shelter isn't a bad idea either. 100%, I would make sure they know you're legal to kill doggy in defense of...

I'll change up the perches asap, thanks! And the bottom 3 feet are hardware cloth, and we're looking at new options for the top half. :)

Ground predators consist of loose dogs, raccoons, and possibly a possum or skunk. We are fortunate to have not seen anything bigger on our security cameras. Honestly, we haven't even seen any raccoons, possums, or skunks. We have a 12" outward pointing apron buried and the edge is topped off...

Right now the completed coop has 25 chickens in it at roughly 15sq ft of yard space per bird. By the time I'm done, I'll have almost 1800 sq ft of yard over 4 coops without factoring in the integration pens that will just be additional yard when not in use. :) The bottom 3' are 1/2" hardware...
