    Two Mystery Breeds

    Silver penciled Rock...interesting. I will have to look into that more but a quick google search seems like that doesn't line up for the pullet (not pictured). I will try to get a picture of her and the cockerel together. And yes lots of brown in the feathers of one of the cockerels. I haven't...

    Best Greenhouse Kit? (x posted)

    Ah what you built is so beautiful! We definitely don't have the time or skill right now but long term we want to build something permanent. After the remodel...and when the kid is in school... We are zone 7 and I know others here have unheated greenhouses, but we get strong storms so what you...

    Best Greenhouse?

    Hey I just posted about a greenhouse and saw you never got any response here. What did you end up getting? How did it do through the winter?

    Best Greenhouse Kit? (x posted)

    Its our first year on the homestead and we are looking to get a greenhouse. We would love to DIY it but with DH working full time, our two year old, and a house remodel starting in February I just need to accept that I can't take on more. Especially since we've never built anything like that...

    Two Mystery Breeds

    Are you talking about the fourth picture? The three barred (two cockerels and one pullet) with one of the jaerhon cockerels? Interesting that the pullet might be a barred rock because I was think she was the holland and the other two were rocks. Hollands are so rare is is hard to find photos of...

    Two Mystery Breeds

    I received an "assorted" mix from Sand Hill Preservation and while they provided a list of breeds two don't quite line up. There were two "filler" chicks so perhaps someone can help me identify. Photo uploading is being very weird with me today so apologies for that. The list says two Barred...

    10 wk Roos (WNC)

    Batch of roos I am listing before they go to the freezer in a month, all from Sand Hill Preservation. I included their catalog description for each breed but the forums contain a lot more information. I can provide more photos for each bird. (1) Black Penedescenca- Black Minorca-like chicken...

    Introduction!

    Yes I am very excited about the Barred Hollands! They are both looking to be roos, but I will hold out hope!

    Introduction!

    I already posted a new thread this weekend, but never properly introduced myself... My husband and I just bought his grandparent's 13 acre farm in WNC in the summer of 2017. He works full time and I tend to the land while caring for our two year old. We have big dreams but are starting out very...

    Upgrading a dirt floor for coop

    Thank you for the warm welcome and all the ideas! I live in WNC and it is VERY wet here. I am leaning towards the DLM but the patio pavers is a great idea too. I am used to having a coop I can disinfect twice a year so the dirt floor is new to me. We have several stalls in the barn so I think...

    Upgrading a dirt floor for coop

    I am looking to convert a stall in our barn to a coop, and am seeking advice on the existing dirt floor. I feel like I have a handle on everything else as I've kept chickens before (wood with straw bedding) but I am really not sure how to approach the dirt floor. Loose, powdery dirt that will at...
