I need to get a new coop for my girls. I need on of those already made ones. I only have 2 hens so I don't need anything big. Hopefully I can get up to 4 hens. There are so many to choose from that I don't know what to do. I was hoping that someone here has a nice small coop that they like...

Isn't that supposed to be food grade DE? I also read that isn't good for the hens? I'm still confused about what to put in their dust bath :-(

So then what do I do about giving them gravel?

I don't know how to tell if it's real stain or not. How can I tell? Hubby and I will be hitting it with a power sprayer this weekend. Not sure what that's going to do to it. Ace is having a paint can sale 2 for 1. It starts the 23rd. A can of light teal and one white for trim. Wonder how...

Thanks. I'm going to stick to the two babies we already have.

Is there anything I can put in my yard to deter hawks, and other big flying things, from flying down after my Chickie Babies???

Right now they are eating medicated chicken starter. Is there gravel already in there?

That's not going to work for me. I had to talk hubby into 2 backyard chickens and now 3. 4 isn't going to happen.

I appreciate what you are saying. But I doubt my 3 chickens will clean my whole backyard of all the bugs. I also know my husband won't be waiting on chickens to do so. That being said...what is the best way to deal with BUGS. Thank You

What are all these chicken nipple thing's I keep seeing? Yep...still looking up everything Chicken!!!

There has to be more than this to treat our babies with. Are there any plants, bushes or herbs they would love to nibble on?

I have 2 baby chicks around 3 weeks old. I will be trying to add an Austrolorp in a week or two - waiting for them to hatch. How, when, what, do I do to get all three together?? What temperature difference will I be dealing with? Thanks for ALL of the help!!

What does Poll and Reputation mean...Please :-)

My husband sprays our back yard 2 maybe 3 times every summer to stop the bugs. What is the "better" chemical to use and "how" should we use it? I do want my Chickens to be able to use the yard too. Thanks, Abbie

Thank You!!! I think I will try that Behr paint with the primer.
