    New coop.

    Only the chicken that acts like she's in charge goes on the swing so far. And she was baited with black soldier fly larvae, the other girls get her scraps shen knocks on the ground. But they all go crazy for those BSFL.

    New coop.

    Built a swing for the girls today. They are eyeballing it but nobody has been on it without help yet.

    New coop.

    I ended up getting that Run Cicken model T50 door. It's working well. Today I had time to work on the run. I'd say it's 98% complete now. Gonna walk all around and be sure the hardware cloth is secured at all overlaps. It is buried horizontally in the ground 12-16 inches to foil any digging...

    Rustic Rock? What is this cross?

    We got 3 Rustic Rock chics, they seem happy at 5 weeks old. They are more fiesty than the Cinnamon Queens.

    Move in day yesterday

    Our girls are just over 4 weeks and we kept them in a closet until yesterday. We've been weaning them off the heat and they seem happy but last week they were getting fiesty. Finished making their coop secure yesterday afternoon and we moved them in.We have 6, they seem happy and are enjoying...

    Night time in the actual coop?

    Our 6, 4 week old girls moved in yesterday, it's a rainy 47 degrees and they seemed fine this morning. I'll have food and water in both the run (when it's completed) and monitor how fast the outdoor food gets eaten. I'd rather not feed the wildlife. However the run will be secure so it may not...

    New coop.

    Vent windows added, the human door is solid and shuts securely. On the right side I'm adding a slide out poop tray, their roost will be on that side. Inside the greenhouse will be 2 or 3 laying baskets, we have 6 girls.I am considering this chicken door. Has anyone used it?

    New coop.

    Our fox seems to be gone, we put smoke bombs under the greenhouse and haven't seen any new digging anywhere. The coop is coming along nicely, the girls are over 4 weeks now and move in time may be this weekend. Low temps about 50, considering a heat lamp. They are getting fiesty in the...

    Starting again!

    Over 8 years ago I had 6-12 girls, then my (now ex) wife decided to find a boyfriend and divorce me after 20 years of marriage. I was lucky enough to find an amazing woman and we have been married 3.5 years and are very happy together. We've been talking about chickens the last 3 years and...

    Rooster... Managed to attack me

    I'd either chop him or take him out to a remote country area and let him fend for himself. He's already drawn blood..... How about showing MIL your wounds? I would. She'd understand better about him disappearing, unless she's not rational about it.

    New coop.

    What you see is the very beginning. There is a fox den under the greenhouse, and I am not able to lay the wire underlay under the greenhouse effectively. That wall is the north wall of the greenhouse which will be the south wall of the coop. I plan on cutting into the wall for the laying...

    New coop.

    Building a coop on the north side of our greenhouse. There is a fox den under the greenhouse, I'm hoping the 1/2x1" square fence I'm burying will stop them. I've built a coop before for 12 girls, but the underground layout to keep it predator proof went outside. Do y'all think it will stop a...

    INDIANA BYC'ers HERE!

    It has been a great Monday around here. Chickens are happy, and we are now getting about 3 eggs a day. Our 4 old girls (stinkers!) are now 3 years old, and getting about 1 egg each a day from them, and about 2 eggs a day from our 5 (new) Golden Comets. Surely the egg production from out new...
