    My chickens are broken

    Our winters are very mild. We live in the high desert and it doesn't get cold until mid January.

    You're too kind. I'm going with lazy chickens. I'll go have a talk with them this evening.

    My chickens are broken

    I'll admit, this is the first time we've had this breed but, out of all the breeds we've had for the last 4 decades, I've never known one to go 23 weeks without laying an egg.

    My chickens are broken

    It's the first time we've waited for 23 weeks and not one egg. I think our chickens are defective.

    My chickens are addicted......

    Addiction. It's hard to talk about. It's an ugly thing. My chickens have become.....how do I put it......mice eaters. It started slowly, and when you see a chicken gulp down a mouse, right then you know they are the direct descendants of dinosaurs. Mean ones. Now, these chickens actually hunt...

    Automatic door

    Have you picked out a door yet? If you haven't, I would suggest chickendoors.com. I've had mine for 4 years now and never a problem. I use electricity out at the coop for mine but they do have a solar powered unit. It's the best thing I've bought for my chickens and they learn the door process...

    Chicken Coop Remodeling Idea

    I live in deep west Texas. It can get cold here but not all years. This last winter was mild and the year before that it got down into the teens. Just depends. My chickens have two 8' roosts at equal height. They never stay in the coop except for sleeping or laying. They'll go out in neck deep...

    Chicken Coop Remodeling Idea

    Okay, Okay, Okay. That's nice but not needed. Roost room requires 2 square feet per chicken. My Grandfather kept his chickens in a 39' Ford Truck. I appreciate your input however wildly impractical and overly expensive it is. Ciao.

    Chicken Coop Remodeling Idea

    16 birds on that roost? Is that too small? 32 square feet for 16 birds roosting? Hell, there's ventilated heat and Lazy Boys in that coop. Oh, I see what your getting at. My chickens free range all day. They don't stay in the run. The feeders hang in the run and they drink out of the trough. The...

    Need help identifying this chick

    Well hell, you can't go wrong with a few Australorps. Lay eggs like a well oiled....egg layer. Moderate food intake and high egg output.

    Chicken Coop Remodeling Idea

    Firstly, I can't ask for directions when I'm lost. But, I do need a little information about expanding my coop. My coop as it is right now will hold 16 chickens to roost comfortably. It's snug up in the roosting area but they do like it in Winter. I'm going to 24 chickens and need to expand my...

    Hen or Roo?

    Hold on a minute. Does that chick have white barring or gold feathers mixed throughout? Did the chick have a white dot on its head when you got them? BSL cockerel by definition will show immediately. 6 weeks old and a big comb like that says man chicken.
