    Thinking about adding a few of these hens to our flock

    We have one (accidental) rooster and 2 hens. He is just mating the heck out of one of our hens and ignoring the other. We actually quite like the rooster and killing him is not an option for us. We're much too sensitive and don't eat meat anyway. Our white hen has completely lost all the...

    what is your chickens favorite treat ever

    Mine go nuts over popcorn more than anything I've ever given them. We always bring home left overs from the movies + there is a popcorn machine at the saloon in the country club by my dads and he asks for their old popcorn for us. They absolutely LOVE it.

    Dog got one of our chickens --- she can't walk now

    Just a little update for anyone who is interested and maybe someone who is searching for a similar situation. We separated her until the sun started to go down and then let the other 2 birds in the coop to sleep. When checked on her this morning, she was still laying on the floor with her legs...

    Dog got one of our chickens --- she can't walk now

    Thank you so much! I'm hoping that our story is similar to yours and she's ok by tomorrow. We had the other 2 birds in there with her and they weren't being mean, but they were clamoring all over her and laying on her so we figured we'd give her a little bit of alone time before letting the...

    Sink Cabinet Chicken Coop

    We (mostly)finished our coop! We ended up adding about1 foot onto the back to make the inside about 9 sq feet for our 3 chickens. It's not 100% done yet, we still need to get the window wired and propped open and we still need to make the ramp as well as wire the ventilation up top. The run is...

    Sink Cabinet Chicken Coop

    Thanks for the advice! This is what we have so far. Sorry for the grainy pictures, the light in the garage is pretty dim. I'll get better ones when he has the garage door open and is working on it. Right now the roof isn't permanently secured, I may have my husband raise it a little more for...

    Sink Cabinet Chicken Coop

    After doing more research and seeing that 2 sq ft is the minimum according to the guide on here, we figured they would be fine since that's exactly where we are. Plus, honestly my husband already started working on it so we can't return it. We're in an area that snows maybe 3-4x a year and...

    Handling very young pet chicks: Yea or Nay?

    Mine are now 3 weeks old. We pick them each up at least once a day for a minute or two, but they are so squirmy! I want them to be friendly and to want to be around me. Think it's too late to smother them with my love and get them used to me?

    Sink Cabinet Chicken Coop

    My husband and I got our first chicks almost 3 weeks ago. We started looking into building a coop and took some plans to Home Depot. I had a brilliant idea that I thought would save us time, frustration (mostly my husbands) and a little money. We bought this Sink Base Cabinet from Home Depot...
