    butterflygrooves, Your images are very helpful. I have a few questions. Is your coop in the shade most if the time? I love your simple design. How did you attach the wire to the wood? Do you just have one nesting box for all 6 hens? How many eggs do you get? Sorry one more question... lol...

    Great info here. Im going to get to doing some research. I know i have to do alot of this on my own because you're not here to hold my hand. I like the idea of adapting the tractor to my space. She will be fine in her dog carrier until i figure things out.

    Hi teach1rusl, I would like to build a COOP for them. I am just at a loss as what would be required for my climate. I thought i could fully enclose the roof with tin and mesh wire. Do you think open air fully enclosed is best for my warm climate? To be honest i feel overwhelmed with all...

    Hi KarenP, What a pretty dog. I love shelties. Thanks for the advise. I will go to the feed store and see what they have . Speaking of the feed store, The owner said that the chickens could take care of themselves. I think he meant hide. I just took it as he would sell more to the Newbie...
