    Coop Builders - What would you have changed or done differently?

    I use a used pickle barrel and have very little indoor or dry storage. The barrels work ok, but I still have a problem with moisture to some extent and I think the barrels would be better if they were kept out of the rain. Just a suggestion.

    Coop for Bantams

    My coop is 5' X 8' and it seems to handle all 14 hens and 1 rooster for me. My chickens are standard sized wyandottes. The chicken run I made is about 16' X 8', but they usually free range and are only locked up in the run for specific purposes.

That being said, you may have...

    Blood clots on rooster's comb, why?

    Today I noticed several small blood clots on my rooster's comb. They are about the size of a BB. I caught my rooster to inspect him closer. He has no paracites, i.e. mites or any other bugs. These little raised bumps were still wet and had not hardened yet to form a scab. I am not sure what...

    I like the silver laced. I think I am about to get 3 or 4 to supplement my flock of gold laced.

    I live in Deep Run, NC with my wife and two boys. My chickens are all gold laced wyandottes. They are almost 1 year old and laying really well. I now have 10 hens and 1 rooster. I had a neighborhood dog attack my flock last week and I lost 2 hens. I have one hen still recovering. It was an...
