    Progress into coop

    We have all together 5 non pullets so there is a possibility that we have some roosters. How and when will I be able to tell if it is a rooster?

    Progress into coop

    Thank you all for the knowledge on egg hatching. For the door to my nests, I want to do double cupboard doors that will open from the middle out. I purchases a horse stall rubber mat that is perfect for the floor so when I clean, I just pull that out, dump in the trash, put it back in, and put...

Under each roof to the next roof will be open for ventilation and I was thinking of doing a net window or...

    Progress into coop

    I will try and post a picture of the coop I have build later today. All my chicks are getting along great. No "picking" order has occurred. I live in Utah and this year it has just been crazy weather. I will have a huge outside area for them which will include dirt for them to bath in under the...

    Progress into coop

    I have been reading up on what everyone has been asking and the responses being given. I have embarked on owning chickens now with my son's girlfriend. We together have 18 chicks. They are in a huge trampoline box with food, water, and a heat lamp while I am building their coop. I want to make...
