    chicken hatchway

    Yes it is, sorry for the terminology, it's what they called it on the plans I got for building my coop. I am just asking because I don't recall seeing any like that

    I am getting ready to start building my coop and was wondering if it is a problem to put the hatchway under the nesting boxes

    Hello from NY

    Thank you very much, looks like I am gonna opt for the 6'X8' coop. I'm going to measure out the area that I have for my run and see what I have.

    Hello from NY

    I am planning on building a 4'X8' coop, maybe I should go 6'X8'. Planning on a fairly decent sized run, which brings up another question. Is there a rule of thumb for how big of a run you need per chicken?

    Can I use sand for chick grit?

    Sand used for a pool is generally masonry sand. I was going to try using the sand and grit from the tube sand which is coarser. Plus I have a lot of it around

    Hello from NY

    Hello all. I've decided to try my hand at raising chickens, it is all new to me, I am just starting to lay out the area for the coop and need some help here about the birds. Do I only want hens? Or do I was roosters too? Is there a better egg layer. I'm not interested in eating the bird.
