    Checking-In On Peeps - Post Here To Say Hello!

    Good Morning! It HAS been awhile since I've been on this site. I didn't realize cuz ... yeah ... LIFE sometimes sucks. BUT...after losing half of my little flock to the dogs nextdoor (🤬), I rehomed the remaining girls and gave up on chickens. The coop got dusty, the run grew grass and the back...

    And then there was One ...

    This is how I introduced 3 hens to my flock (when I had a flock) a few years ago. And it worked so well. I think I was more concerned due the fact she would be the only one.

She now hangs out with my two goats (one of them who's mother was also killed by the above neighbor's dogs) and it's...

    Topic of the week - Chicken run management

    Good Monday Morning!! I love my girls! Questions asked: - How big should you make the run/how much space per chicken? I have two areas: a chicken coop with their boxes and then the run. The coop is fully enclosed with nine metal boxes attached to the wall, one screened window, a human door...
