    Probably being paranoid... Loose skin on front of chicken

    One of our chickens has a loose sack of skin on the front of it about the size of a tennis ball. The sack is slightly offset to it's right side and if I press on it, it feels like it has sand/grit in it. All of the other chickens are solid in this area. I wouldn't even have noticed but it's...

    Poop board convert *warning-graphic/gross poop pictures*

    We originally had plans to put a ladder roost in our coop. We even had it all built and ready to install, but after reading this thread I took it apart and built 'poop' boards. It looks alot nicer and should be easier to clean. Thanks for the ideas. Six of the twelve girls went in last...

    Please post pictures of your roost

    We just finished our roosts the other day.... The chicks are still down in the basement under their heat lamp. They should be big enough to go outside in the next week or so.

    Finished Pictures of the 'Chicken Bunker' and a Thank You

    The wife and I put the finishing touches on our coop yesterday. The only thing left to do is to build a chicken ramp so they can get up into their little door. I just wanted to thank the community here for all the great ideas. If it wasn't for this resource, I wouldn't have ended up with...

    Premade vs. My own

    We have about $750 into ours and I think we may have went a little overboard (first time and got a little excited.. LOL). If I built another one, I could probably do it for $550 - $600. The biggest thing I would do different would be to make it permanent by burying 4x4 pressure treated posts...

    Waterproof nesting box lid

    I came up with this for my nesting box lid and wanted to see what people thought about it. It's not perfect, but I think it should keep the girls dry. I'm hoping the 16" overhangs keep most of the water out and this should only be needd when it's raining sideways... I searched around Home...

    Board and Batten Coop Update - It's starting to look like a coop

    Thanks everyone I orginally made this profile so that the wife could post on here, but it seems like I'm doing all the posting figuring out how to build the coop for her. I have everything complete except for the battens and not a minute too soon because the chicks are probably gonna be...

    Board and Batten Coop Update - It's starting to look like a coop

    This has taken alot longer than I thought it would to build this coop, but it's almost done. The first six chicks we got are about 3 weeks old and are looking pretty big, they'll probably be ready to go out in the next few weeks. The second half dozen chicks we got are only about a week old so...

    My first chicken coop design....

    I got some more work done on the coop, pick up some of the future tennants, everything should be ready to go when they are old enough to go outside. Don't worry, they are in a much bigger box now, that is just the 'happy meal' box that they came in from Tractor Supply. Got the walls put up...

    My first chicken coop design....

    Looks like in order to see enough detail on the design, you will need to click on the picture, then right-click save-as to be able to zoom in far enough to make out any details. Jeepguy982001... I'm into Jeeps myself. I have a 94YJ with 5.5" SOA, 2" BL, Waggy 44's F&R, ARB up front and a...

    My wife one day out of the blue decides she wanted chickens, which means that I was put in charge of building them a cozy little coop. I asked her to at least let me know kinda what she wanted and after searching through the medium coops on the site here, she decided se wanted something like...
