    Coop Project 2009

    Here is the start of the coop: Brad made his own plans up and based our design on having 6-8 chickens, even though we only have 4 at the moment. This seems like an addicting hobby . The dimensions are 4'wide by 6'long. The roof is slanted for rain and to allow more height for the roosting...

    Help settle disagreement with the wife: What to cover TOP of run with.

    Our run is covered with chain link fencing over about a third of it and the other is covered with corrugated plastic roofing that is semi-transparent in an effort to block the harsh Arizona desert sun. I'm not so sure she's gonna win this one. Brad

    Quote: I've heard that too but we've usually been getting an egg per hen a day. Kind of easy to tell since we only have three at the moment. I'm enlarging the pen (chain link dog run) today and we'll see about getting a few more once they get back to consistently laying hard eggs again...

    Thank you for your reply feathersnugglers. We got an egg from her yesterday and I know it was her as she is the only EasterEgger we've got. As an added bonus, it was larger than any of her previous eggs. Now this morning, there was a soft egg underneath the evening perch. All intact but...

    I also have an hen that has stopped laying about four days ago. Nothing for her or the other two hens has changed and the others are laying one a day. I did find a soft sided cracked egg under the perch two mornings ago. She does not act any differently than before and had been laying an egg a...

    Help!! We had planned on getting a coop and run built this fall so we could start our own peeps. Well, one of our cats brought home a baby chick. It appears to only be a day or two old and, thankfully, came through without a scratch. I don't know where it came from so I guess she's home now...
