    post your chicken coop pictures here!

    Thanks Sylvester. We put the ramp to the Eglu because we had small chucks at the time but we've since taken it away and they jump up the Eglu steps easily enough. Good idea to tarp the area, we may well do that. They roam free in the garden during the day and take shelter under a caravan...

    Feathers all over the garden!

    Our large white girl has a dirty vent and is losing the feathers rapidly around that area. Could anyone shed some light on this please?

    Oops, she's a cockerel! So many questions...

    Our Silkie, Fluff, has turned out male (the crowing should have given it away) and he's courting/courted our Bantam-Cochin, Beryl. The rest of the flock are four larger, standard layers. Here's the thing ... Beryl has become broody and we would like her to raise a chick. How do we handle...

    Silkies won't go into hen house

    Thank you so much for this advice. It's really put my mind at ease.

    Silkies won't go into hen house

    Thanks CAS for this advice. We believe they're three months old. There is a ramp but it's quite long as the hen house is raised so I'm going to make some temporary side walls to the ramp and channel them up it.

    Silkies won't go into hen house

    We bought a variety of chickens two weeks ago and although the older, larger laying girls took to the hen house easily, the two younger ones (Silkies) huddle together in a corner of the run after dusk and we have to put them into the hen house. Can anyone help us, please?
