    Wichita Style Coop with an Albuquerque Flair!

    Thanks! I appreciate the comments and the coop has definitely proved to be a very practical design already. The birds are right at home in there and my wife and I don't have to worry about them at night or while we are at work at all. We are starting our third week with them living in it and no...

    Wichita Style Coop with an Albuquerque Flair!

    This build began in the 3rd week of August this year and culminated today. The design was based off of about two month's worth of research and development, mostly gained from this website. This design is for a small backyard flock and thus will not be geared towards those of you looking for...

    Comment by 'Lazarus718' in article 'Medium Chicken Coop Designs & Pictures of Chicken Coops'

    I'll reply DancingNana but this post really should not be on someone else's coop build project. The rule of thumb for nest boxes should be one to every three hens...that means you will need 9 boxes. Your chickens will not lay twice a day. You will get an egg from each of them every one to two...

    Nesting boxes (please post a picture/ design)

    Here's a photo of how I mounted mine...not really sure that someone can really design one for you if no one knows where it will be going? Every single person that gives you a suggestion right now is going to be taking a guess at that one. My dimensions are 12"x12"x12" on the short height.

    Free Rangers Roosting In Tree Ignore New Coop

    I'm not an old timer or experienced chicken owner at all, but I think as long as you have that tree the birds are going to want to be in it. My guess is that you have a decent amount of space and they have never been confined? Unless that new coop of yours was able to be elevated higher than the...

    Coop insulation ideas

    I don't know where you live but I really don't think your ducks are going to need insulation. They have it built in. Ventilation is important however and you want to look at the means in which your stale air is able to be exchanged with fresh air. Just because you have a larger space with a...

    D'uccle Thread

    I've been trying to find someone stateside that has been working with them for 6 mo. now but haven't had any luck. There is one local guy who has been breeding d'uccles (mille fleurs) but it doesn't seem like he has any ties to the "Citroen" d'uccles either. That's how you spell the name and it...

    New "mom" to 4 chicks!

    I'll proudly say my welcomes as well...you came to a good place! I think one formal item is missing from your introduction and that is pics of your birds! Glad to hear your husband came to his wits and let you start this journey, I think you will find your dog losing space (freedom) and your...

    Murray Mystery Chick

    Got to read that fine print on the O.P.'s post more closely...the bottom chick is from a brown layers assortment, not the top.

    Murray Mystery Chick

    Right, I'm thinking the top one is the leghorn. The bottom chick I'm not sure with the yellow head, haven't seen one like that before. I'd check into the Welsummer idea.

    Merging two flocks - looking for tips

    My existing flock of four hens is 14 weeks old and I just introduced them to two new members yesterday afternoon. I let the two new girls free range while my others were locked in the run. I kept them separate like this for 2 hours then let the whole flock out. The new brahma made herself right...
