    Chicken tunnels?

    Are you describing a tube rather than a half circle tunnel? Seems a tube would be so easy- just make it whatever height and length you want given the size fencing you buy. Any ideas on this appreciated.

    Hello from the Midwest!

    He is beautiful! Is the blue color similar to a Weimaraner’s color? I ran into a man with a Dobe at PetSmart the other day. She was gorgeous and had the personality of a goofy Lab. I bet you see some sad things as a rescue lady. There is a lady in our town who helps homeless persons with food...

    Hello from the Midwest!

    I found it online when I entered the terms ‘Chicken rental’. BTW Rent the Chicken also is on the lookout for persons who want to join and become a person who rents out their own chickens.

    Hello from the Midwest!

    Wow! Good for your husband! I’ve heard of ‘chicken math’, do you have to watch out for ‘horse math’? LOL. My former daughter in law who still remains a close friend absolutely has to have a horse. She doesn’t have a lot of money so she exchanges chores with various barns to earn her horse’s...

    Hello from the Midwest!

    Sorry about your losses. I had an Australorp last summer, and the other hen was an Australorp/Leghorn cross, Boy was she bossy! I heard Australorps suffer in the heat, so the Leghorn/Austro mix hen must have been trying to help the other one stay cool by pulling her back feathers out!

    Hello from the Midwest!

    Thanks! If I own my own coop, I can keep renting hens-only every spring. Their standard package includes a coop which is super safe and nice looking, but it would save me in the long run to own my own. BTW does your name ‘Dobie’ refer to Dobermans? My parents raised Dobes.

    Hello from the Midwest!

    I’m new here, but I’ve seen your site occasionally. I’m getting older now, but when I was a young woman I had chickens for awhile. They were free range, and I taught my kids to do the float test as they searched for the hens hidey holes in the woods. We had no predators bother us except for...
