    Chickens Part 2

    Two of each; Silver Spangled Hamburg, Speckled Sussex, & Ameraucana. I used the recycled lumber, screws, nails, wire fencing, and roof shingles that we brought from our previous coop and chicken run on our 5 ac home. Not finished yet, but you can see what I'm trying to do with my...

    Stephi & Ameracuna Chicks Chicken Tractor for the new Ameracunas. I should have made it bigger than 3'x8', but for 4 hens it should be ok. The wheels are only on when the tractor is moved to a new location. I've decided to use only 1 nesting box at a time. I'm always amazed, they're so...

    Feral Chickens in South Florida ?

    I recently watched a TV show (Dirtiest Jobs ?) about the feral chickens in South Florida, and I was shocked. Not only is it sad that chicken owners released them, intentionally or not, but the way they are being rounded up by county employess ("Chicken Busters"). Does anyone have accurate...

    Thanks to the GREAT site administrators, I'm back on & with NEW chicks

    The Mini Coop is 95% finished, just needs the feeder, water, light, locking mechanism and the chain for the coop's door. The ideal is to be able to let the girls 'Free Range' as much as possible, but at night the blue door will be closed.

    I don't have these anymore, but I think my Ameraucana pullets were my favorite. The 2 smallest chicks are my NEW Ameraucanas.

    We moved out of our home on 5 ac and back into 'town' on only a 1/3 ac, but I'm going to try to keep 3 to 4 good egg layers. Two of each; Silver Spangled Hamburg, Speckled Sussex, & Ameraucana. I used the recycled lumber, screws, nails, wire fencing, and roof shingles that we...

    White pullets that lay blue eggs?

    I bought what were advertised as Buffs at my local feed store and what I ended up with are white pullets that lay medium/large light blue/grey eggs. Only 1 of the 4 baby "Buff" chicks was actually a Buff. I've done a little research, but I have not found mention of a white breed that lays blue...

    A frame coops?

    Take a look at my post, '1st Chicken Tractor Pics' I think that sounds a lil small. But it may be ok for young chickens or for a temp coop. If I ever build another one it'll be 4 ft wide and 10 ft long; that should be a good size for up to 6 to 8 adult pullets. Alot of the commercial suppliers...

    Quote: The wire thing? You must mean the power cord for the heat lamp; it gets pretty cold at night in this part of California. You're not clueless, atleast you noticed it

    1st Chicken Tractor pics

    I finally completed the Chicken Tractor, delivery of the wheels took a lil longer than I thought it would. Sorry for the large size, I even reduced them 1st. I've decided I'm only going to keep the 4 Ameracunas in the Tractor. Next tme I'll make it 4 ft wide and 10 ft long...
