    roos or hens?

    comb is close to the same. Can I go by size too? The 3 are just larger than the 2 light brown "hens". I hate to give away a hen by mistake as my 3 original girls are barely laying. "momma" stopped laying since she went broody - when will she start laying again. And my other 2 rarely lay -...

    run design help

    I was thinking the same thing. Do you think they would be safe during the day? that would certainly be fairly easy and inexpensive. I do have a coop to lock them up safely at night. Thanks!

    I need some suggestions. I just moved into a rental house so i don't want to spend too much $. I have a small coop but need to modify a dog run into an inexpensive run for the girls. It is 22' x 15', fenced with metal welded wire for the walls about 4 ft. high. There are 4x4x (6 ft tall)...
