    Roo?

    Everyone told us from day one this would be a roo but not I think she may be a hen.. we have other hens with bigger comb and wattle than this one. Speckled Sussex 21 weeks old. Thanks!!

    6 weeks. Pullet or Cockerel

    Thanks everyone. Our speckled Sussex is our sweetest and cuddliest! We will be super upset if we have to get rid of that one. We can’t have roosters where we live.

    Completely covered run?

    This is what we are interested in building. Possibly minus some of the roof.

    Completely covered run?

    Do chicken need access to direct sunlight or can their run be completely covered? We were going to leave 1/4 uncovered but now I am unsure with rain and snow if that would just be a mess in that area. Seems easier to just cover the whole thing!

    Mixing breeds

    Great. We will not be breeding. My kids love the idea of all different hens and eggs :) thanks!

    Mixing breeds

    Can I mix breeds? I want 6 hens and it would be fun to have them all different breeds. Is this a bad idea? Or will they get along fine? Are there pros or cons to have same/different breeds? I’m interested in Easter Eggers, Speckled Sussex, Australorp, Barred Rock and Buff Orpington Thanks!

    Will landscaping fabric hurt my chickens?

    We have a large sand pit area and just removed the kids swingset to build a coop/run. We were planning on just building right on top of the sand.. I realized it has the weed fabric barrier about 4 inches under the sand. Will the chickens be able to scratch to that? Rip it up, eat it or injure...

    Playground removal for Chicken Coop/Run

    This definitely crossed our minds! I just don’t think it will last as long as we’d like. So we are selling the set and using that money for new supplies!
