    How much space do I need?

    I plan on only having 4 hens so I don’t think I will need too much space for a coop as they will only spend night in there.

    How much space do I need?

    Yes, unfortunately money is tight and building that will be pretty hard. So I wanted to stick with a simpler design I could easily build with my dad in my backyard.

    What do you mean by integrating the coop with the run? I have attached a rough sketch of what I am trying to do.

    How much space do I need?

    Exactly, the coop will be fully enclosed. In other words the chickens will not get wet in the coop. My total run area will be12ft by 7ft so I will build a raised coop inside the run so it does not take up space.

    How much space do I need?

    No, the chicken wire I have comes in a roll so I cannot but if you have any recommendations on the height I can buy fencing that tall.

    How much space do I need?

    Yes, where I live I have had tiny rabbits, and duckling outside without a problem there are not many predators in my area so I plan on having a fully open air coop. My only concern is that the fencing /chicken wire I will be using is too short so they might jump it. I believe it is around 3 ft...

I have always wanted to hatch out an egg since I was little I even bought an incubator and tried buying fertile budgie eggs (I got scammed $400). Now, I have found abandoned duck eggs and incubated them. One hatched but died, such a roller...

    Duckling not walking

    The duckling today seems worse, it seems tired it has its eyes closed, and can’t walk. It looks dead but chirps and breaths occasionally. I don’t think he will make it. 😢 I tried feeding it, and giving it water. Nothing worked.

    Duckling not walking

    Tried feeding it sugar water right now, he didn’t drink. The duckling is sleeping but moves and chirps occasionally. Is this a good sign?
