    Interior Coop Pics

    This is the inside of the coop I built a few years ago. I've since learned that the litter boxes under the perches are hard to clean. The front lip should have been on a hinge. Also, the hens don't tend to roost there anyway. They like the rafters.

    I guess the piece was extraneous. It's set up now and working great.

    New Chicken Fountain parts question

    lol I don't really know how it works except that once it's hooked up to the hose, I don't have to do anything at all and the water stays perfect clean.

    How long do you leave your chickens?

    The 7th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-A-Long!

    Thanks so much. The nest and (still eggs) are about four inches off the ground Once a chick jumps down, it won't get back up to mama.

    The 7th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-A-Long!

    Hi there! Is it too late to be added to the group? I set my eggs on March 1 - and by set, I mean I switched three, small, unfertilized silkie eggs with six gorgeous, full sized, fertilized eggs while the mama silkie was eating. I really wish I'd had a video camera on her when she returned...

    A friend gifted me with the most darling little Serama hen. I'm in love! I'm keeping her indoors, at least for now. She sits on my lap and preens while I scratch under her wings. SO DARN CUTE!
