    I allways figgerd that birds as species were fragile animals..........

    Don't give up on your roo yet. He's young and feeling his hormones raging. In my limited experience I've found that all of my roos have gotten aggressive to various degrees when they reached their 'teens'...around 4+ mos and eventually calmed down as long as I made sure that they knew I was...

    Considering part of my house for a coop?? (PIX ADDED NOW)

    Thanks. I've had that room for about 15 yrs for my parrots and finches and one Kormorner dove that I rescued. It was a natural to put pet chickens in there for the "floor" area. Little did I know when I started that many of them would NOT stay on the floor! The cochin bantams have taken over...

    Quote: They don't have to be. It depends on how many you have. I thought she said she wanted 6 hens. That's not many and I know you can control the smell and dust for that many birds. If she already has a space for them in the attached barn area why build something else?

    OH, that does sound horrible! I guess what I neglected to mention....and hadn't considered really....is that my birds don't go outside. They live indoors with the parrots and don't have the parasites that outdoor birds would have. Whenever I am envious of you who have cool looking coops I just...

    Quote: You know, I was worried about that too. I have 7 roosters in there and while they are young, they are all crowing full force. <g> I have had a macaw, amazon and cockatoo for 18 yrs. Compared to the vocalizations of those guys, the 7 roosters are practically silent! If you are used...

    Quote: When I had chicks the smell was strong. They seemed to do nothing but poop! I had to change the bedding every day until I could get them out of the small crate and into the room with the rest of the birds. As they grew the odor was less and less of a problem.
