    Review by 'Knobby' in article 'Almost Country Coop'

    Ingenious ways of getting around the dreaded HOA! Love how you built the coop to be incorporated into the retaining wall and how it is camouflaged to blend in with your house structure! The coop reminds me of the sleek and modern, yet art deco, buildings that are currently popping up in a few...

    Any one in NY or PA use mulch in their run?

    New Chicken Owners

    :welcome!!! I, too, love to sleep in, but ever since getting a flock, I find it joyful to get up with them to start the day off...actually, the 6 roosters I have, give me no other options when they decide to see who can crow the loudest each morning. We also have 3 dogs..a Chow Chow, Siberian...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I made sure I watered the tomatoes, okras, radishes, squash, and whatever else was growing out there; I really couldn't tell since the rain was pouring down so heavily.
