    It took over a year to talk my husband into getting chickens. When I got them he told me to tell me what I wanted for a coop, and he would build it.....little did he know.... After many weeks of reseaching various coops here, and taking ideas that I like from different ones....I finally came up...

    posting pictures on my page

    I thought I was doing great figuring out how to make a page and post pictures, but the final product shows a small box with a red x in place of the picture. It has the title of my picture, but no image. What am I doing wrong?!?! thank you so much, Sara

    Thanks you can delete this now

    I just have to give a shout out for the Black Australorps. I had no idea that mine would be my favorite chicken! They dont get much credit around here- but my Bella would melt anyone's heart in a second.

    Run Under Coop

    I believe I read 1.5 feet. I made mine 2 feet just to give a little extra.

    Confession time!

    I have 5 chickens- all different breeds- makes it very easy to tell who is who! even my 3 year old daughter knows which is which. My red star looks a lot like my RIR now that she is growing (they are 9 days apart which make it very easy before to distinguish)- so far she is lighter in color...

    treats for chicks

    what??? I hope not. Won't they be eating these things when they are out and about the yard? I gave mine some meal worms the other night- they loved them. I hope I didnt cause any harm!

    Plain yogurt as treat?

    I've tried a few times with mine- they just are not interested for whatever reason. they end up walking in it and making a mess but not eating any.... for some reason they act like I'm giving them poison when I try to give them treats- I dont get it.

    Almost there!

    how many are you getting? if you are getting several, they will keep eachother warm, otherwise I would bring a hot water bottle (covered with a towel so as not to burn them) to keep in one corner of the box. Have Fun! I miss baby chicks- my big girls are growing so fast (almost 5 weeks old...
