    Ah my humble coop. The orange construction mesh looks worse in the pics than it does up close. The birds are looking full grown now but aren't yet 4 months old. Yesterday I redid the floor of their coop to make a drop down door with a much shorter and less steep ramp for them to use. Due to the...

    what does an early crow sound like?

    LOL i can relate. One of my roosters has started (trying) to crow. It sounds so funny. If I now have one testing his vocal cords then I know the other two aren't far behind and thus.. neither should the hens long now in laying eggs! they are now 15-16 weeks old. I am now keeping a eye on their...

    Welcome to the dumbing down of America, passing kids despite the grades so the schools will make their grade to receive more gov't funding...It is depressing, appalling even. I can't type for crap but I can spell and it gets under my skin too when people really can't spell. It is so basic to...

    The most dumb / ignorant / funny comment you've had about chickens?

    I grew up in the suburbs as did most of my cousins. One summer when I was about 8 and my cousin David was 6 we traveled to our great grandmothers house in Kentucky. She had a garden and chickens and an outhouse. David had never seen live chickens before and gr-grma also had a big white husky. My...

    Okay to keep chickens while pregnant?

    Here's my other 2 cents worth. Stop living in fear. Do what ya gotta do and know that ya know that God will take care of you. Of course use wisdom and caution when your instincts tell you to. Most of all though, don't live life constantly in fear of this or that. On the basic level being fearful...

    brooding hens

    I'm wondering what chickens do when people aren't involved? I can imagine that the hens lay eggs, hatch the eggs, care for the chicks, they grow and repeat the cycle of life. Being new at this chicken keeping myself I too have many questions but I have learned in life that God made nature pretty...

    Premier1 poultry fencing neighbor complaint PICS ADDED

    When we were house hunting the one main rule I had was no HOA's. I value my freedom to be who I am and so I respect that in others as well. HOAs allow people that don't pay your mortgage and don't pay your taxes and don't live in your house to dictate to you how you should live according to...

    Okay to keep chickens while pregnant?

    It amazes me how thru our technological advancements we have totally lost our relationship with the earth that we live in and on. Our instinctive knowledge and knowhow to do so many things to sustain us on this earth has been lost to tv and material stuff. I know these are serious concerns with...

    Is this usable as a coop?

    can you move it away from the water some? Or hang little life vests for chickens on the side of it.

    will I survive raising my 16 year old daughter...

    Pick your battles and realize if she is still safe and breathing, then this too shall pass. My oldest daughter is now 19, just finished massage therapy school and is full of life. She put me thru the ringer though. She is a miracle. On May 9th 2007 she put a .41 round in a 458(elephant gun...
