    Chicken ran away from home

    Hello all! I am really stumped with what to do with one of my chickens, who, incidentally, is/was one of my favorites. Some background, I live in an urban neighborhood and have a very very large yard with a 6 foot privacy fence all around. I have a flock of 9 hens that free range all day. I...

    Coop and Run Build In Progress

    I got the run finished this weekend. I still have to put trim and window covers on the coop and finish painting it, but the run is done! My girl Dotty is in the pictures checking it out. I have 4 5-month old hens that free range my yard and I have 7 2-month old babies that were in my dining room...

    Where can you get good latches?

    I use self locking gate latches secured with a carabiner on all my doors. The only thing to look out for would be the door closing behind you and having no one to let you out.

    Hen or Roo?

    So, I ordered 8 chicks. 1 died. I know what breed 3 of them are so you'll see them in the background of the pictures, but I'm not showing them here. The other four I'm not sure of. The 5 that I ordered, but don't know who is what (with one left over because of the lost chick) are: 2 Easter...

    Hen or Roo?

    They all came from mypetchicken.com. So now I'm confused about what they actually sent me. Because I ordered two EE and those two were the only two that looked alike as babies. I did order a speckled sussex, but lost one of my chicks and thought the one I lost was my SS.... So, where's my other...

    Hen or Roo?

    This is my Betty. She's my favorite of this bunch so I'm hoping like heck she isn't a roo because I can't have roo's. She's/he's a 6 week old EE. Her comb just started getting color yesterday and I noticed the start of wattles... I'm sure she's a roo, but I'm just checking and hoping (with my...

    Coop and Run Build In Progress

    The coop is still a work in progress... Here are the latest pictures. I built two pull out poop drawers. The roosts are right above the drawers. I've filled the drawers with sweet PDZ and the boards on the ends are attached by a click connector so I can just pull on the board and remove it...

    First coop!

    It looks like your latch is a self locking gate latch. If it is, be aware you could lock yourself in the coop. I locked myself in my shed this morning and it was awful. Fortunately I had my phone and could call someone to let me out.

    Coop and Run Build In Progress

    Got more done on the coop. There's still a long way to go, but loving the progress. This is the east side. On the left is a storage area on the bottom with the roost on the top. On the right will be a removable shelf with the nests under it. The nests will be in the inside and removable. The...

    Coop and Run Build In Progress

    I started building my coop about 3 weeks ago. I've only had two good weekends of progress due to bad weather and life. This is my first time owning chickens so I did many weeks worth of research and planning. I designed the coop myself and am building it by myself. The coop will be 5'x8' and the...
