    Coop Sizing Justification

    Hello, so i'm pretty sure i know the answer, however i think i'm trying to justify the madness that has become housing 6 small chickens. I had settled on a quaker style coop because I like the look and we are in a residential area and it will be seen. I had planned on a 4x4 but then got to...

    Silkie Batams Run Size

    thanks for the reply's! I was thinking 8X15, by code it can only be 6 feet high, so I'm thinking some sort of flat roof so I can stand under it. I assumed more room the better but didn't want to get this large run and have them all huddle over in a corner and never use it sort of thing. My idea...
