    Chickens won't go home...

    We increased ventilation today and made immediate measures to increase coop space per bird. Come Sunday, they should have an 8x10 and 6 foot tall home. We have prioritized this. We were mistaken in how much space they should have in their coop. We had read that they needed 2-3 square feet in...

    Chickens won't go home...

    Here's the RIRs and Myrtle on top of the "rectangle" I hope my 500 posts help I'm so sorry if it seems like I'm babbling. It's been frustrating trying to get our own little coop set up.

    We're terrified to do that, as it gets quite hot and we have little to no shade. We're newlyweds who just planted a few trees-hopegully there will be shade in 20 years!

    Photos! So they were introduced slowly. We moved Myrtle and her girls out first, into the green coop we bought from Orscheln's. We then moved them into their new house, the "rectangle" my husband described. Their home and the green coop are in the same run. We moved the second flock into the...

That is the first "flock" The second are three girls we raised together, an EE, Sussex, and a wyandotte...

    This is Stormageddon, Dark Lord of All. Her/his crown was picked out, but we've separated her to let her heal in peace. Wanting to know if everyone still thinks she's a pullet? That tail has me worried!

    Is my Polish a Roo?

    An update!!!!! Her(his?) Crown was picked out by a grumpy RIR but is growing back. She(he)'s isolated unless we're out there with them. Slowly but surely

    Is my Polish a Roo?
