    Has Anyone Ever????

    Sounds like it would work great. Might be a bit expensive unless you already own the portable.

    Prodigal Chicken Returns!

    Our Bantam ran off for three days once! she came home filthy, thirsty and starving! I'm glad yours came back safe too. That's one of the reasons we extended our run and keep our flock safe from adventures.

    My Easter Egger Roos

    How old are your roos? I'm in a state of limbo with one of my chickens. At what age did their neck and saddle feathers grow long? if you remember.

    Any guesses on breed?

    Thanks! Yuppers, we just built right on! San Antonio doesn't allow free ranging any longer, so we expanded! 88sqft of run space now.

    Any guesses on breed?

    ok so this is Eugene (the big one, fingers crossed that she is an olive egger 4 months old) and Biscuit (the small one no clue what she is 2 months old). we got Eugene from a breeder who told us she is an OE, but I have only seen barred OE on this site. Biscuit was in a grow out pen with...

    Help: I need to build a Fort Knox

    Pictures of the coop would help. But what we did was dig down 6"-12" at the base of the run. then we stapled 1/2" mesh strips cut to 12" around the coop leading into the trench. Then we filled in the trenches with the dirt we just dug up. now if critters try to dig in, they meet wire mesh...

    using diatomaceous earth question

    I use a mask when I clean it out of the coop, but that is mostly because i don't want to breath poo dust. I love DE. You can use it in the yard as well to control fleas, put it on ant mounds to stop them in their tracks, and any other situation you would use a chemical pesticide (for hard...

    Who else has built the Minimal Coop?

    Just remember when you are making your coop to get as square of an angle as you can. Other than that have fun with it! It's just wood, screws, and screen mesh. If you mess up a little it's ok. My mother and I made a simple coop from my own design a few years ago and after a few replanning stops...

    I need some Ideas to keep my Chickens warm for winter!!!!!

    I agree with not using a light. If it goes out in the middle of the night, the chickens have a hard time adjusting to the quick drop in temp. If you do get below freezing put vasoline on their combs and waddles so they are protected. with nine chickens I would think they would have no problem...

    Oleander and tips for a chicken compatible garden?

    I want to plant grass in the run of my coop! San Antonio has passed a law against free ranging, so we extended our run to 88 sqft. I also plan on picking up edible flower seeds in the spring (nastarums, pansies, and other cheap yet fast growing plants) to grow in pots for the chickens. From our...
