    Large Fowl Cochin Thread

    I love my LF Cochins! I have a blue and one black hen, and a blue rooster. I was wondering if there are any LF barred Cochin breeders out there. I really love the color, and I am not interested in exhibiting, just for my own enjoyment! They are terrific pets! ( my girls are aptly named, "...

    Hoop Houses

    My 10 year old son and I built one of these last summer for our 9 chickens and 2 ducks, we then banked it with straw for winter and double tarped it, it has been great even here in the frigid North, and an easy and inexpensive way to keep our poultry safe and warm. I did hang a heat lamp in the...

    After 2 yrs. of free range...it finally happened

    We lost our first chicken yesterday. I got these chicks April 28th, and this spring, my son and I built one of those "hoop coops". It is a terrific safe coop, the problem is/was, the birds have started roosting on top of the thing instead of inside it! That is how was lost our girl. I got up...
