    Newbie Seeking Coop Suggestions; EDIT: Show Me Your Doghouse Coops!

    Alright. Eglus are definitely something I would want, but it's out of my budget range right now... So I am looking into reusing dog houses and altering them for chicken use, at least until I can afford the luxury of a more expensive coop. Anyway, I'm a big believer in recycling... so if it works...

    Newbie Seeking Coop Suggestions; EDIT: Show Me Your Doghouse Coops!

    Hmmm... Well, that's disappointing, but I really would rather have it last and be good for my future girls. I'm just trying to find the best route for me since I am limited on tools and skill and do not have a truck or have any close family or friends with a truck (so I'd HAVE to have it...

    Hiya! I've been researching coops for quite a while. I even went back many, many pages in this thread category's history. I really wish I or someone I knew was handy enough to make some of the gorgeous coops people here have constructed by hand, but alas, my talents are restricted to writing and...

    Culling a chick??

    That is AWFUL, I am so sorry! So many sympathies. It's NEVER easy with any animal. Especially when their lives have only just begun! I can't give you any advice on home euthanasia... But I wish you well.

    clever repurposed use for old chick feeders!! (pics)

    I was looking for chick feeders on ebay and saw one like this, and it even said in the title line 'CHICK FEEDER BROODER CANDY DISPENSER' or something of the like. I lol'd then, but it makes total sense now! I will totally make a candy dispenser out of mine in the future! After much boiling and...

    WTB: Pullets Near Chicagoland/NW Indiana

    Heya! That's great! Not far at all! I'm looking at possibly getting a flock of five or six. I may be purchasing 2-3 SL Wyandottes from someone else an hour and a half out in IL. I'm really interested in having some EE's! So I'm looking for possibly another 2-3 to complete the flock, if the...

    I am looking to start my very first flock! I am specifically located in Hobart, IN, but I am definitely willing to travel up to 2 or 3 hours out if you've got what I am looking for. I am looking for pullets, and interested in friendly laying breeds who can be a part of the family while...
