    post your chicken coop pictures here!

    This is the newest coop I've built. I started with the chicken tractor in the middle, it now houses my 4 juvenile (4 month old) Black Sex Links. The smaller one on the left holds 3 little Buff Orpingtons less than 3 months old and the bigger newest coop houses the 2 laying hens, a 2 year...

    I originally found the design for this coop on Home Depots website. If you decide to download the plans, which are free, be careful when building it. There are some mistakes in the plans. Never being satisfied with leaving well enough alone I added my own custom touches to it.

    keeping chickens cool in summer heat

    Well since it's a chicken tractor, I pulled it all the way around to the inner yard under a tree so it's closer to the house and dragged a heavy extension cord out to it so I could setup a box fan to blow through the run. Ginger seemed a little miffed at the fan but she forgot all about it when...

    keeping chickens cool in summer heat

    It's been over 100F with a heat index of 110F in north Florida this week. Lost 1 hen yesterday and 1 today. That leaves me 1 laying hen and 4 - 3 week old chicks. The chicks are still on the back porch where it's constantly in shade and they seem to be doing ok. The hens in the coop are the...

    Can chickens choke to death?

    I came home from work today to find one of my girls laying dead by the feeder. She was fine this morning and seemed healthy in every way. When I pulled her out of the coop she did have a mouth full of food as if she died in the middle of a meal. It was in the high 90's today but they have...

    Where did you come up with that, what is it? I'd have a hard time using something like that without some kind of enclosed top due to the free range kitties on my property. I keep my little girls on the back porch, which is covered but open to the outdoors.

    The Hen House on the Hill

    Ever since I started baking my own bread a few years ago I've been moving more and more towards gaining more control over my own food chain. Raising chickens for eggs is just a natural extention of that. This year I plan to grow a much bigger organic garden and intoduce chickens into the mix...
