    Match me a breed.

    I live in Utah, so it seems like we share weather conditions. I have 12 chickens and nine different breeds: Barred rocks - great temperament, pretty zebra-like feathers. Americana - very gentle and docile. Lots of variation in brown colors with interesting colors. Black Australorp - black...

    Can a dog and chickens safely coexist in a small backyard?

    We have an almost 2 year old Golden Doodle, Maggie and she loves our chickens. We had to train her to not chase them, but she has leaned fabulously and has never hurt a single one. We have 12 that we got this past April when our pup was a year and a half. Our friends brought their golden doodle...

    What color should I paint my coop?

    Looks awesome! It might be fun to paint it the same colors as your house, but use ivory for the walls and the darker color for the trim, so it coordinates but isn’t matchy matchy. If it was the same as your house, I don’t think that would be bad either. Some flower boxes would be darling under...

    Comment by 'Chickedee' in article 'Chez Poulet with a few changes'

    The rest of the pictures showed up in the “gallery” section of the article. I’m not super familiar with this site yet and don’t know how to make all of the pictures appear in the article. I’ll try to figure it out. Any pictures of the coop you’d like to see in particular? I don’t mind adding more.

    Is this Wryneck and will it ever go away?

    Interesting Isaac. Thanks for the info! Did the birds end up dying or just living with the deformity? Hoping it’s the latter...

    Is this Wryneck and will it ever go away?

    Thanks for your reply OneHappyRooster! If it’s something other than wryneck, that would explain why the vitamins aren’t helping. Also, dang it on the cockerel. I’m interested how you picked up that she might be a he. Feather shape, Comb?

    Chez Poulet with a few changes

    We are in the process of building the popular Chez Poulet coop by Heather Bullard. We have made a few minor changes, but kept pretty much everything the same as the plans. We changed the height to be a foot taller. My husband is 6'-2" and I didn't want him to have to stoop to enter the run. We...

    Is this Wryneck and will it ever go away?

    Hello all! My 6 week old Golden Laced Wyandotte developed what I think is Wryneck about 2-3 weeks ago. At first I thought her feathers just weren't coming in evenly until it got worse. I started her on Poultry Nutri-drench a week ago, but haven't noticed any improvements. She eats, drinks and...
