    Light in coop?

    The three older girls are 3 or 4 and the younger three are about 6 months all fully feathered. I will have to put a different one in tomorrow. At least they'll be warm

    Light in coop?

    Due to the extreme cold here I put a 100W bulb in their coop, which made it significantly warmer, is there any concern that they will just stay up all night with the light in there. I didn't have access to a red heat light right now, and the one that's in there provides heat, but will it keep...

    Using subtlety to get your SO to do housework unsollicited

    On the contary...I feel as though my wife fits the desription of your DBF to a tee!! I don't necessarily think it has anything to do with whether you're a man or a woman, I think it just has to do with how you grew up and what your priorities are. I vacuum my hardwood floors 3 times a day, do...

    ROOSTER CURIOSITIES...

    I have a few questions pertaining to roosters, and hens in general, and havn't been able to find answers anywhere else. Perhaps some of you fine foks know. Of our three hens, one of them came from a lady that had no rooster at all, so obviously none of her eggs would be fertile. However the...

    QUIETTTTT

    Forgot to mention, we are in the city limits, for the most part the only "predator" is our housecat, which made a conceited effort at chasing them until he realized they were larger than he LMAO!! I think he's used to chickadees, wrens and smaller birds, and didn't really know what to do with a...

    QUIETTTTT

    It's not a large coop, I would say at max 5 hen's I would'nt stuff any more than that in there. To answer your question, yes well ventilated it has openings near the top that are covered in wire. Large enough for ventilation but small enough so predators can't get in, and the door locks...

    QUIETTTTT

    I just want to make sure they're allright I'm obsessed with these ladies. I was very doubtful when my wife first got them, but I've become fond of them. I had a carpenter ant problem which has since become non=existent. They must be eating all the annoying bugs around the yard, good for them...

    QUIETTTTT

    We recently got 3 barred rock hens. They stay in a coop in our backyard area. Unfortunately as of yet I have not put any type of a perching stand in it, there's just a bunch of hay. After I put them in and close the door for the night, I notice it's very quiet, not a sound. However we live...

    Color of eggs.

    We have three barred rock hens, I've heard that the eggs are commonly brown, but ours seem to be very pale. Is there any way to make the color darker by feeding them something different? Also does anyone know where I can find a list of breeds, and what color eggs they produce as well as shade...
