    Old Fashioned Broody Hen Hatch A Long and Informational Thread

    I am new to BYC. I have a bantam chicken and rooster that was given to me. I was in the process of getting them used to being handled, but I was only able to get the hen to eat out of my hand.

    New coop under construction

    I am thinking about renovating my chicken coop. I have plenty of pallets that I could use, but I was told that they rot fast. Is this true? I do not want to spend a lot of money on the renovation, so I am looking into just using scraps around the yard.
