I am building a 3' x 5' coop for someone. they currently have just 3 hens but want to get 2 more. will this be enough room for them?
i am going to put in 2 nest boxes just in case a hen goes broody(they have a bantam X hen)
it'll have an access door for cleaning and run door of course. any...
I think i am going to get it all fixed up and re-list it for $300 obo.
if i dont get any hits i can always lower it!
thanks everyone, i'll put new pics up when i finish it!
I think i will get some paint to throw on it then, i am just going to sand off the flaky stuff so i'll have a nice clean surface. I have a gallon of white barn paint sitting here and i will probably pick up another color out of the reject paint at wal-mart or lowes.
i will probably put a...
I am Seriously thinking about cutting out and framing in a little chicken wire window on the upper-ish left hand side of the front. i think the wire will give it a more cutie, counrty feeling.
i think it will make it a lot cuter too
but how much would you pay for it? lol. i have had so many...
We're thinking of thinning out the group again and maybe getting rid of the little coop we build last year.
we built it completely out of recycled/free materials But it is extremely sturdy and predator safe. it's very cute also.
the roof needs to be tidied up and new paint put on but other...
I really like the idea of having a pipe or pvc pipe feeder and waterer. it'll give the chickens more space and from the sounds of it, GREATLY reduce the feed waste!!
I'd really like to see some pictures of all your pipe feeders & waterers before I decide how I want to make mine.
Thanks Everyone!!
You could always just do patch work when they get it down to dirt. theres a lot of grass seed you can buy for cheap that grows in just a couple days.
just cover it with a hardware cloth box or something while its growing.
That would be kinda cool to make it like a 2-wheel wheelbarrow.
you could always just make the wheels detachable or extend out front or something.
it looks great...& really cute!
The drake just kinda roams around where she is and sits and watches her and chases the other birds away. he doesnt mess with the dogs though. She gets pretty puffed up when you get anywhere near her. shes not super people friendly.
i DO NOT wanna move the nest, i am positive she'd abandon it...
NOTE: I wasnt sure where to post this question so i also put it in ducks section too. sorry for the double post
I have a hen that decided to build her nest under a broken down lawnmower in the back yard. shes nestled right between the bags on the back of it.

I have a hen that decided to build her nest under a broken down lawnmower in the back yard. shes nestled right between the bags on the back of it.
We had planned on moving this mover out of the yard so i was wondering how do you all think she would react to me moving the mower from over her...
