    Playhouse to Coop

    I *think* so, but I didn't clarify when I emailed the gal we are purchasing from!

    Playhouse to Coop

    If I remember right, it was 6X4ish and about 6 feet tall. I love the idea of keeping the windows functional, especially since it gets so hot here in the summer!

    Playhouse to Coop

    Good morning! We are purchasing a wooden playhouse off of Craigslist to use as a base for our coop. We have 4 chickens and think this will be the best starting point. We plan on building a run and enclosure around the playhouse and know that we need to do some additions to the house to make...

    Chicken Newbie - I need help!

    I don't unfortunately. I could make a guess based on what they look like, but since I didn't pick them out I really have no idea! They are all different breeds I believe.

    Chicken Newbie - I need help!

    We have actually discussed having ducks for years. I am recently divorced and my exhusband was not on board with the idea. It's something I've always wanted to do, so while it was kind of a spur of the moment decision -- I definitely knew quite a bit of information about having ducks as pets...

    Chicken Newbie - I need help!

    I would never abandon any animal that I decided to take care of. I have spent hours doing research on both the chickens and ducks. I just thought someone could give me some specific ideas for the chicken coop. We already have a plan for the housing for the ducks. Thanks though.

    Chicken Newbie - I need help!

    She and her friends hid them for about 10 days before we knew about them and then we figured it was too late to take them back. We've gotten used to the idea of having them, we just have no idea the best way to take care of them for the long term!

    Do the chickens do well in the winter? Just not sure what all we need to provide for them in their coop once the weather starts getting colder. I feel a little lost with all of it!

    Chicken Newbie - I need help!

    We are definitely stopping at 4! When we went back to TS to buy supplies for the chickens, my other teenager suckered me into getting 2 ducklings, so we are at our bird quota around here, haha! We are going to house the ducks separately from the chickens since they need such a different...

    Chicken Newbie - I need help!

    My teenager went to Tractor Supply and purchased 4 baby chicks with one of her friends, so we are now the proud owners of a small flock (PS; why TS would allow children to purchase live animals without a parent's permission is beyond me....). I didn't really plan on having chickens, but here we...
