    Our Texas-sized coop

    I love the run and coop, very well done. Suggestions..... If you are having predator problems I would add at least one strand of electric wire to the bottom 18" of the outside of the coop. With small kids you can use a photo eye and or timer so it goes on only when you want it (when the children...

    Our coop and run (lots of pictures!)*new pic on post#13

    I agree raise the coop, but I would also suggest puttting the coop outside the run! Give the chickens more room when the reach adulthood, plus it will make it so much easier to get your eggs out when it is raised and outside the run. We used cement blocks, stacked in each corner to raise ours up...

    Favorite breed for mini farm/ homestead?

    You must look at what cover you have and the surrounding area to determine what breed will blend in with your cover. Buffs here on the farm blend into the tall field grass beautifully. that might not work if they were on manicured laws. I do notice our Orp.s when not in the tall cover...

    greenfire farms and whitmore farm

    Sorry to pull this out of the basement - anyone gotten Isbars or Cream Legbars from Greenfire? I have sent a few e-mails about some questions but haven't gotten any responses? I want them but sending that much $ without some communication is scary. Thanks in advance

    Favorite breed for mini farm/ homestead?

    Feeding Oats To Geese

    We add rolled oats to our Tufted Roman Flock's diet every three days, just a scoop or two and they love it! We also add sweet feed for a special treat and they have never not finished either. The flock loves to eat oats in the field as well, so we make sure we plant an extra patch just for the...
