    Thanks for the encouragement and support (that's what I love about this forum) everyone! Danz, my story sounds similar to your weeding story. I was trying to clean up limbs from the back yard that perpetually fall out of my walnut tree (hate that tree) and putting them in the front yard to be...

    I have 8 girls: 3 EEs, 1 Australorp, 1 sp. Sussex, 1 Lav Orp, 1 Blue Orp, and 1 Barnevelder. And, yes I am beyond frustrated! My hens that I have come to know and love have to go, and the HUGE chunk of dollars I spent building them a home will have to come down as well! GRRR!

    North O.P. I have had hens for several years, but recently moved the coop to a different spot in the yard to "upsize" it, and now it can be seen from the street. The neighbors (that pass by regularly, and live next to me) thought it was cool to see that I had pet hens. But, unfortunately the...

    Tree House chicken coop

    Cool coop! Now you just need to barter season lift passes with the hens for more eggs!

    Danz, sorry to hear about the hit and run. That's just not very neighborly to run over someone's animal in the road and not stop to say sorry, at least.

    Thanks danz! Was wondering, has anyone seen the Backyard chickens for the White House thread under Chicken Laws and Ordinances? I thought it was a pretty cleaver idea for promoting the backyard chicken cause.

    Peet moss in run?

    Hi! I wouldn't use peat, it would be bad for the chickens to breath. Once they start scratching around in it there would be a lot of fine dust they kick up. Plus if it got wet, it would be very heavy and take a long time to dry out.

    Thanks for all the welcomes! Seems like a great community you all have created here, glad to be a part of it. As to my current flock, I have one australorp, an EE, a speckled sussex, and a blue splash marans that never splashed- she's all white. The EE and australorp are laying very well right...
