Latter roost is an excellent idea! Hope you don't mind if I borrow it?

Hi all! I decided that some plans I purchased on ebay were too much for my little space and the coop itself too small for anything other than chicks for the future (or a turkey possible runner ducks) so I went for wood pallet coop instead. Recent experiences using wood pallets as a block...

Good day all Well my second round of chickens have proven for some reason more difficult to sell and raise. I lost four in the first week along. Anyway, today the now 19 week olds haven't laid but one bird, Red Star named Rhonda has a foamy eye. I found info here and isolated her even...

Love it! I have a coop in mind but I'm getting this anyway as you can not have too much info on chicken housing.

Really nice job you did there! I can only hope my coop is as nice but as I am leaving all the pallet wood intact covered with hardwire cloth, I'll be happy just to get a decent roof made. I really like the roosts too.

All these coops are clever and beautiful with or without paint they all rock. I have scraped my original plans purchased from ebay as they are nice but the coop itself is too small to clean up properly like. Might be good for something else like a play house for pet birds who need a safe place...

These gals are really nice chickens but I really must sell them as the babies are getting big and are also for sale if you prefer little one.

They are two years old so all they need is housing, water and your property to free range! All chickens came from McMurrays which is where my new stock of chickens is coming from so no room for the gals. They free range all day and I do have a broody one who needs a job other than puffing up...

I'm lazy. I usually name them something that has the first initial of their breed. So this time around I have Red Stars and Black stars, I'm only keeping a few so I might go with Rose, Ronda, Bondie and Hippy (she got her name early). Silver Laced will have Siadna, Suzy, New Hampshires, Nina...

Special ordered Female chicks plus one mystery chick are showing coloring, are active and healthy and already vaccinated so no medicated feed needed. They were started on quik gro and that green stuff (loved it!). Red Stars, Black Australorps, New Hampshire Reds, Easter Eggers, and Dark Cornish...

Thanks! My second run is turning out okay so far. Didn't know our temps would drop so much at night so I had to put a light out there for them. They seem not to mind the heat as the kiddie pool they are in is on straight on the Earth concrete. Just put them to bed so we'll see how the one...

Love the coop! I am looking at a few plans to keep my new coop tall but more functional than my self built/planned coop. I also wanted a roof that didn't need tarps :p /knows nxt to nothing about building roofs We have sweltering heat and cold winters sometimes with snow so a good run for the...

That is right. I had one pass on me today even after I got water and tried to get some gro-chick stuff in her. Don't blame yourself just keep positive and enjoy your chicks.
