What kind of chickens are in the pine straw photo. Never seen them before!

If your using the pro rib roofing from menards. The mfg actually suggest putting the screws along the base next to the peak. Not in the actual peak of the rib. It's a little but different than the regular corrugated roofing panels.

We know our run is huge, but they love it. That run is huge, I bet they do enjoy having that space!! Wish I had the space for something like that!

Emergency help!! This is my cuckoo maran this morning.. The was a soft egg stuck on her bum, we wiped of off and this is there.. looks like it's still attached and pretty firm..what do I do? She can still poo and is only 5 months old.

Yea.. My dogs eat the chicken poo too. Chickens seem to be the smart one on that.

ok.. for some reason all 3 pics wouldn't post in one thread.. the first pick is what the other girls look like.. Sparkles is in the last 2 pics..

So my youngest son named her sparkles, but now at 14 weeks I'm wondering if it should be Mr Sparkles [/IMG][/IMG]

I have 8 girls that are about 10 weeks old. Noticed the last couple days that my cuckoo maran will make a weird clucking noise. Almost sounds like a goose honking. Doesn't always do it, just every now and then. Are they like kids and as they get older the voice changes. Also noticed my SLW...

Had mine delivered by a landscape company. Look for someone that sells mulch, rocks, etc. they generally have sand too.

My girls have a 2x4 turn wide side down. Nice and long. They other night I noticed two if the crammed up against the window balancing on a skinny little ledge. There was feathers and ties poking through the hardware cloth. So I build a nice shelf up there with a 2x6 flat side own. Now all 8...

after getting up twice in the night to check on them..and seeing them sleeping on the perch, i relieved they were just fine.. I think I was more worried than they were! LOL.

so my girls have been spending the days outside since it's been 65-70 lately. Tonight is going to get down to 45... all next week looks like highs in the 80's with lows in the mid 50's. I was going to move them out tomorrow permanently, but would it be ok to leave them out tonight, or is that...
