    I used a child's playhouse as a coop, it is great and super cute. Just make sure that you're attaching hardware cloth to any area that can be accessed by a predator and double locks on the door. I'll send you a picture of mine. It is attached to a 10x10 dog pen with hard work cloth on the top...

    Eye infection

    Thank you, I will look for terramycin as my local tractor supply does not have Tylan 200 in stock.

    Eye infection

    Thank you. I'm in Florida and yes there are mosquitoes but not generally this time of year it's been very cold out. I do think it's either pecking or a scratch. The only suggestion I'd had received prior was Tylan 200 which I cannot acquire locally so again thank you.

    Eye infection

    Has anyone come across anything like this? I'm not sure if she scratched it, it was caused by another chicken or something else. A friend asked the 4-H teacher she suggested using Tylan 200 but I can't find it at any of my local stores nor is it available on amazon. At this point I'm not sure...

    Raccoon Apocalypse

    Regarding live traps, anything that is a strong smell. I have used tuna with great success but honestly when I’m closing the coops up at night a lot of times I’ll just dump extra feed in the live trap and that works like a charm to. Recently I have moved to Solar security light alarms from...

    I’ve had a similar issue lately, as they are putting in a major highway a couple miles from me. I’ve never had raccoons before but I have trapped 9 in the last six months. I purchased solar security light alarms from Amazon. They’re not perfect but I haven’t had a raccoon in over two weeks...

    Rooster won't leave one hen alone

    I am having the same issue but there are two of my hens that are his favorites if you want to put it that way. I know they are the two that will simply sit down for him but I separated them for two weeks then let them out yesterday and poor Penelope's cone is all bloody again. I've considered...

    Thank you, I have been contemplating using a play house that I own instead of purchasing a coop for my bantams and this has given me valuable ideas on how to do it. Thank you so much. Beautiful coop!

    Egg laying

    Thank you. I built them the coolest Roost out of branches and sticks, they have CDs hanging, a chicken swing, a mirror and I hang cabbage, cauliflower, apples and I take bottles poke holes in them and put corn in this time of year but I like my chickens to free range because that way interact...

    Egg laying

    My nesting boxes are Standard 12 x 12 x x 12 x 9 and I use straw in their nesting boxes and chicken coop. What I'm gathering for most is I need to lock them up but that is not my choice. Thank you
