    New Coop!

    My mom is pretty crafty and just found a picture of a similar coop online and used it as a reference, but there are some blue prints and chicken coop instructions online. Plus our local library has coop building books in the animals and livestock section, maybe yours might to.

    New Coop!

    My mom loves building things out of wood pallets, she built my coffee table out of two pallets. There are plenty of fun things you can build with them and free wood is the best!

    New Coop!

    You should try talking to some local businesses about wood pallets. Most businesses are willing to sell the wood pallets their products were shipped on and you can get the good quality ones, pull the boards apart do some sanding and there ya go! You have some good quality wood to use! my mom...

    MOVING!! Need to design/build a transport coop. HELP!

    We always transported our girls in large dog kennels although I am not sure how many chickens you have (we would only transport 4-5 to the fair grounds and back). We have also used large dog kennels for temporary housing, ours are large plastic sided with windows and your typical wire door.

    Chick with weird skin flap?? (pictures)

    I separated her from the rest of the chicks so she wouldn't be getting picked on. I care very much for the chicks at our store and I am worried she won't find a home with this problem, (if it comes to it I can always bring her home myself). She is a Welsummer pullet. Like I said I have never...

    Chicken is missing half it's body

    If there are Maggots in her wounds it is probably best to put her out of her misery. Otherwise the maggots will feed off her wounds until she eventually dies, I know its hard to loose a member of the flock. A few years ago I had a Black Silkie who was my reserve champion and we ended up having...

I have never seen this before, it seems to not bother her or cause her any pain (unless she was the one that pecked out her feathers) Any guidance and...

I was suprised how nicely some of the pictures came out...
