    Building a Coop

    I wanted 1. A new, bigger coop that was really easy to use and clean. 2. lightweight and movable. 3. use mostly recycled or repurposed supplies to reduce cost. 4. start raising modern game bantams. 5. bend over as little as possible. 6. both contained and yard accessible. So on bulk trash...

    The Bantam Club

    I just built a really nice coop for bantams I don't have but wish I did. I hope to add several BB red and Self Blue Moreden game Bantams. Maybe also a 1.2 crele OEGs. I'm not sure where to get them from in the summer, though.

    new feathers are weird

    Chickens stopped laying!!???

    Austin, TX. Summer. My three 2-yr-old Orps have stopped laying. All I can think is it's the weather, but it hasn't gone above 100 yet, and they have a shady run. What could be the problem? I'm out of eggs. Bummer.
