    How do you manage iced water?

    Other than “curbstomping” frozen ice 😀, what do others do when there’s no power to the coop and no extension cord option? I thought maybe there would be a solar aquarium heater but it seems that is not available/feasible. Thinking I either will carry warm water over every day or use an aquarium...

    Is Jolene a Favaucana?

    Love that name- Willow. They are so interesting aren’t they? I never expected the personality she displays and the apparent excitement when I come to visit. And she seems to be buddies with the rooster and not at the bottom of the pecking order despite her petite size. So much to learn.

    Is Jolene a Favaucana?

    No eggs yet. I am expecting something colored though. I don’t know about a sapphire. Will look that up. Thanks!

    Is Jolene a Favaucana?

    Jolene is supposed to be a Favaucana and yet she is much much smaller than the two black “sisters” plus she has this ridiculous plume on her head and blue earlobes and a little tiny comb. She is wicked feisty and very curious and is always trying to get up into the tree. It doesn’t matter...

    Why Have a Rooster?

    I am also new to chickens and it was recommended that I get a rooster to look after the 5 “girls” on my large property and to keep peace within the flock. So far so good - they all live together without much drama although he is definitely becoming more of the boss - he seems to be going through...

    Roost and root

    Yep I think if they were stuck in the coop all the time, it would be too small. And I added a chicken run in advance of winter which I plan to wrap with clear tarp….

    New chicken momma

    Ha - yes. But since I just moved from Needham, MA, I am not a real Vermonter anyway. And won’t be apparently until we have been here three generations…😉

    New chicken momma

    Here they are! And I would love to know what the gray one is because she (Jolene) doesn’t look like a Favaucana to me….

    Roost and root

    Hello all: just came upon this thread as a new chicken momma who got the roost and root walk-in coop this past spring. I have 5 hens and a rooster who spend their days free ranging although they definitely like having a morning nap in the coop. I built this with my two teenagers and have been...
