    MY PEEPS These are my peeps. This is the first time raising chickens. I had no idea how satisfying it could be. I absolutely love our chickens. We have three 6 week old chicks, Cookies, Cream and Sprinkles (named by my kids). Sprinkles is the Barred Rock. I can't remember what breed Cookies and...

    Ants and Bugs

    Help with Chicken Coop

    I have Americaunas and I'm wondering how high their run and coop should be. My husband built them an arc and I'm thinking it's too short for them for when they grow up. They are now 8 weeks old and fit fine, but worried about later. It's 17" tall on top and 17" tall on the bottom run. Michelle
