    Pawhut Chicken Coop

    Back in May 2016 I bought my first 7 baby chicks for my cardboard brooder.

    Help with leaky coop, please!

    Ok, so I reworked a freebie coop because my stupid store bought one leaked in addition to other problems. Well, after a really good 4 days of rain -and I'm talking over 2 inches yesterday - I found this morning that it leaked all along the front and down half one side and all of the other. I...

    The Garden Loft for Eggstraordinary Ladies

    Hi All, We started keeping chickens about six years ago, and we built The Garden Coop then (http://www.thegardencoop.com/ & my post about it http://bit.ly/gardencoopraleigh). It has held us in good stead, but, as happens, we have caught the chicken bug and decided we wanted more hens—and a...
