    Frustrated. Just need to vent: coops.

    I just had my dad and FIL over-engineer a coup... changed what I wanted 5 or 6 times... Got them all irritated from changing and just dumbed down the first drawing that I made. (my FIL seriously had all the angles worked out that we needed, something incredibly stupid like 34.28 degrees...

    Thinking of building an easy/ simple type coop - please help me

    I built my coop as a 12'x20' building... I made it a dual purpose one. The "left" side (14'x12') has an 8' sliding barn door and I'm currently using it to store all of my gardening stuff as well as lawnmowers and chicken supplies... whatever kind of stuff my wife is yelling at me about to...

    Advice on whether to buy ducks...

    Glad someone asked this. Just had a friend that knows I just ordered more chicks text me asking: "Want to go in on a duck order?" Naturally I reply back with "Sure, I think I could use a few." Searching now for "3 sided coop"... I don't know how that's any better than no coop. Apparently...

    Indiana ChickenStock 2011 ~ For Sale/Swap/Wanted Thread~ CANCELED

    I'm interested... I will show up (and/or pre-pay) if anyone has some spare Orpington hens (already have 3 roosters). Mostly interested in blues, blacks, and splashes... Will this be too much for a 3 year old to attend? It could be fun to have him help pick out some more chickens....

    My favorite Blue Orpington: M or F?

    Maybe I shouldn't be surprised that it's one of the better looking ones (if it is a roo)... Now I just need to think of a name for him. Is Spicy/No. 6 a good roo name?

    My favorite Blue Orpington: M or F?

    Quote: I sent a text to Greg Marlett (I got them from him) saying I got 8 roo's... lol It's a good thing I do what I do for a living, because a chicken sexer I am not. There are 2 I would say are definitely hens, this is not one of them.

    My favorite Blue Orpington: M or F?

    Just curious what I should plan on using this one for... All 4 are the same chicken. They are ~ 7 weeks old. (almost forgot to add the pics, lol)

    Blues or Lavs?

    For what it's worth (which probably isn't much, lol), my blacks and blues were pretty much the same color. The blacks were, as one would assume, black... and the blues were a dark-ish gray. The older they got the more black or blue they became. Out of the 8 I had none of them were light...

    Just started letting my birds free range this week. Pretty entertaining stuff. My 3 year old has been chasing them around with handfuls of food saying, "c'mere l'il fella!" and "here chicky chicky..." So he's deffinitely loving it. Fixed the door to the coop as well (make your door open out...

    Anyone have the Building chicken coops for dummies book?? Worth the money or does it basically say "build a shed with an extra, little door"? I'm considering the combo of the dummies books from the BYC store, but I'd just like a bit of input on it. (no reviews, of course) I'm thinking now...

    Quote: do you feel like the hoop coop is fairly safe for them...? any worries about raccoons/opposums/w/e? I like the idea of a movable coop/tractor. Whether or not they need grass in the run, I just feel like they'd be happier and would be less likely to get bored and start picking on each...

    possibly try adding that he can have an all-he-can-eat chicken wing eating party every so often... the more chickens he lets you get, the more often he can have them. Maybe it's because my chickens aren't laying-but these things are kinda maintenance free for the most part. Food, water, clean...
