    County Fair- Total Beginner thinking of entering a Buff Orp

    Thanks for the input If I do enter, it would only be for fun. I would never expect to do well, just something for the scrapbooks! Too bad there isn't a "sweetest chicken" entry- lol, no doubt she would win. Thanks again, Rebecca

    County Fair- Total Beginner thinking of entering a Buff Orp

    Hi everyone, Like I said above, I am a TOTAL beginner when it comes to chicken genetics and showing. I did have a thought of entering my buff orpington hen into the local fair- mainly because I think she is pretty (again, with my complete novice eye) and would love to have an experience like...

    Oh that would be so much fun to turn into a coop! And how adorable! That would seriously tempt me if I hadn't just spent the last month building a new coop, lol Like someone said before me-- Go For It! (I am not enabling, just encouraging!)

    Our new chicken coop (pictures)

    Thanks for all the super kind words. I love the ideas of either putting a lip around the top of the nestbox or adding a piece of plywood at a 45 degree angle. I will see which works the best. And roosts for inside the run is a great idea- I never even thought of that! What is the best thing...

    Our new chicken coop (pictures)

    So it *only* took about a month to finish and there are still decorating touches to add but I couldn't be happier. We have no construction skills what-so-ever so it was a great leap of faith to buy all the materials- haha. We live in sunny Florida and don't have to worry about cold weather...

    Question, please- Transporting first chickens

    Thanks for the great ideas. I found the perfect plastic box with vented lid for the 7 week chicks (they will ride in the truck cab). And I found an old (but good condition) bunny cage that we secured in the truck bed (near the cab so the wind goes over them). I will pick up a tarp on the way...

    I am SO excited Tomorrow, I am picking up 2 barred rock hens and 2- seven week old buff Orpingtons. I am driving about 2 hours away for these gals (gasp, oh the gas!) and want to know what is the best way to transport them home. I will have a large truck and would like to secure one of my...
