    2012 Chicken Coop Design

    The netting is a good idea McClain. I tried going to your site, but couldn't find it? Can you post a link? The chain link fence is an existing fence. I'm not too eager to install more of it. I am planning on putting in sand/mulch on top of the concrete. Will the sand substrate fulfill their...

    My hen is acting like a male

    One of my 10 week old buff orpingtons was nestled in the grass, and my (also 10 week old) rhode island red tried to get on top of her from behind. the rir does have more prominent comb and wattles than my other rir. I've read where a hen will take on the role of rooster if there isn't a...
