I enjoy cleaning my coops and collecting poop for my compost, so hopefully I won't have to worry about ammonia levels. I learned something new and what to avoid in the future with this helpful article.

I used to lean over a tall brooding pen with cardboard sides. This would startle the chicks in seeing an aerial predator. Then I started entering the brooding pen by opening one of the removeable side panels. The chicks would be curious and come to me head on, instead of running away to safety from a big monster reaching over the wall from above. I raised mine in my office where I spent most of the time with them. They always see me, hear my voice and are picked up and held a lot.
I picked out a favorite early on, a Black Sex Link. She spends time with me in bed while watching tv and follows me around the house. I noticed a substantial difference in pet quality between her and the other hens that didn't get as much attention. Thanks for sharing this article with us.

This article helps promote mutual entertainment for both us and the chickens. My hens can concentrate more on their toys and less on their pecking order. Thanks!

Great reference material to always refer back to when we get unusual eggs. Now we can identify them and be able to find a remedy.

Three of my hens are about 3 years old and still giving me eggs. They are the mothers of five of my other hens that are 1 1/2 years old. Two of my older hens sorta limp. I think that I need to lower their perch ( 18" high in a small Pawhut coop) to make landing easier on their old bones.

I raised 13 in my office and the feather dust was in my computer, clothes in my closet and everywhere. I Would like to have planned that part better next time, but I would do it all over again. They all turned out healthy with no drafts and a steady temperature with being in the house. They are very tame lap chickens from seeing me and hearing my voice from all the hours I spent in my office with them.

I like how you attached it to the side of the patio deck. This allows for easy access to the eggs on the upper deck while allowing for the chickens to utilize the extra space under the deck for a chicken run. Great job.
