    Sleeping in the nesting box question

    They have plenty of roosts - I don't know why they have started doing this. I'll start blocking them at night. Thanks!

    Sleeping in the nesting box question

    I have 2 pullets that had decided to bunk in the nesting boxes at night. Should I block it at night so they can't get in? I do have one chicken that is laying. I heard that they don't lay at night. Does anyone know if this is true? If so I can board up the boxes when I shut them in for the...

    why are my 26 week old chickens not laying?

    Haha - I'm doing the same with my 6mo Easter Egger - apparently chicken soup does not scare her.

    The Cracked Egg Chicken Coop

    This is my first big project. I'm happy it's coming along as well as it is. I looked at several designs, ideas and videos. I even bought a couple of plans on line. I didn't use the plans but drew up my own size using others ideas. Here is the framing. I painted it cream and plan to use dark...

    4x8 coop

    Thanks for the pics! I sketched out a similar design. I am a novice and intimidated starting the project. I already built the raised floor but it's not squared so I will be taking it apart and redoing today. I need to find a more level spot to work.

    What Color is your Coop???

    Good question! I am building my coop now and trying to decide what to paint it. I am thinking for the inside that I am going to go with white and yellow - yolk colors . I've been trying to come up with a name for my coop as well. Maybe The Broken Yolk Motel or Speckled Egg Inn? Not sure yet. As...

    Brooder temperature questions

    I have my brooder inside, keep my temp at 69 and found the 250W way too hot!! I couldn't regulate the temp. I switched to a 125W white heat lamp and hated it - couldn't regulate the temp on that either. I finally bought a 75W red heat light and have had much better luck. I also set it up so the...
