I really like the bright colours, it lights up the coop during day light. You guys have to enter these master piece in the contest.

Great looking coop and the run looks solid! Awesome job and I hope you entered it in the contest because i give your coop a ...

First I want to thank everyone for their input and knownledge. Like i said before I am new to this but I am learning. What I have decided to do is to try a batch of White Rock X (25 of them) and also keeping my BO till they mature. My flock will be larger but that will be fine because I will...

I am new to the game of chickens and still have many questions before I even start. I know I want 2 breeds for sure, Buff Orpington and Partridge Chantecler.
