    This is my first year as an urban chicken farmer. Last May I adopted four 4 month old hens from my mom after we built a coop using an old play structure that my partner had built an ex-girlfriend's kids in his backyard. We utilized all the spare lumber laying around our yard from projects past...

    Avia Charge 2000 or Pro Charge, which one is better?

    I checked out the designs from that website and it looks doable. I do have a sewing machine though I still havent used it. Perhaps I should get acquainted with it and make one of these.

    Quote: Thanks emys, I will check out the breeds charts. I have a lot of research ahead of me. I am hoping to get some personal experience stories from people as well. I am thinking I will have to convince my partner that it is indeed imperitive to get those outside electrical sockets...

    Quote: Thanks Chicken Chat, I agree I think it is in the mix. That's why I think I will be getting a completely different breed when I replace the three. I say three because i have already gifted two of the oneryest hens but I am feeling that Carrie will have to go eventually as well. I am...

    I have thought about a heated waterer, my problem is that I dont have an easy way to put electricity out there as our outside outlets aren't currently working. This is something that will need to be addressed.

    I would really appreciate any advice anyone could give on this: For those that just want the quick and dirty, I would like advice on two things.
