    It's working real good. I got the door with the locking tabs.

    New Flock

    By Bob, my old flock was 28 birds. Some Barred Rock, Comets, Americaunas, and the GJ. The BR and Comets were great for egg production, I had more than I knew what to do with. But I liked the others best because they were different.

    New Flock

    Well, this is my first JG hens. I used to have a JG rooster. He was very docile. I just liked his size and blueish tail feathers. I like unique birds. Large, Cool colors.

    New Flock

    I just started up a new flock today! Been out of the game a while. Glad to be back! So far I have 2 Jersey Giant pullets, 1 Rhode Island Red pullet, and two Apenzeller pullets. I have had Jerseys and Reds before, 10 years ago, but Apenzellers are new to me.

    New coop

    Well, there's a big garage door in the front that will be open on warm days, and I will be installing a window in the back wall. It also has soffet vents. I have a fan to mount outside of the coop in the rabbit area as well.

    New coop

    I haven't had chickens in several years, but have now been able to move back into the country. Started work on a new coop. Decided to convert one half of this two car garage. Front half will be a rabbitry, back half coop. I am awaiting delivery of a Chicken Guard Extreme to put in the back wall...

    Automatic chicken door

    I just searched the topic. Found a thread about it coming down on someone's chicken on it's neck. Not good

    Automatic chicken door

    Does anyone have experience with solar powered auto chicken doors? I like the idea but have concerns that maybe all the chickens won't make it in before it closes. Or that a clouds roll in decreasing daylight and it closes before they get in and then they are stuck outside in a storm How well...

    Hello

    Thanks all. I was able to find my old Photobucket and find those pics. Here's the old coop in Wisconsin. I now have 26 acres with a Blue Ridge Mountains view in Virginia. Have to get a new set up now.
