Didn't this get changed recently? I thought that I had a link to the new ordinance, but I don't seem to be able to find it.

Hi folks, I am in Northwest Arkansas (Rogers) and curious about what y'all suggest for winter protection for a coop. I have 4 pullets fully feathered in a 10'x20' dog kennel/run that serves add my backyard rabbitry also. I am not a carpenter but I have the scrap wood laying around to build...

Good point about the tarp. I could probably get by with a small hard shelter and heat lamp for the really cold stuff.

Not a lot of snow compared to other areas. NW Arkansas

Thanks sunflour! I will look more closely at the Purina Mills coops. I have the skeleton of a coop already, just need to expand it a little I think.

I have made a rabbitry out of two 10'x10' dog kennels. I am interested in coop ideas to put inside the kennel. I am in the barn every day caring for the bunnies, and would be able to give the chickens one 10' wall out to about 4-6' Right now the chickens have a little coop but with the cold...

6 hens.

I found a good deal on Craigslist for a dog kennel/pen that I would like to use to keep my hens in. Is this going to be enough chicken space?

Will 32 sq. feet be enough for 4 hens?

OK good. I want eggs not meat! :)

Buff Orpington or buff Cornish? Lady at Atwood's just said "buff." The gold and black sex links are just getting wing feathers, but this one and her sister have had them for at least a week.

I am on the Backyard Chickens group on Facebook. Yes, I got 6 from Atwoods (2 buff, 2 gold sex-link, 2 black sex-link) last week. I figure if I've got a bootleg chicken flock, I may as well get more than I'm allowed. :)

This is good to hear, thanks for the reply!

Thanks Janet. I realized just now that I didn't have a lot of detail about my plan - so I edited the original post.
