Our A-frame Coop
After a ton of research on coop styles, I decided to go with an A-frame coop. My most patient and wonderful hubby has been kind enough to sit back and let me build it....using his power tools! (And so far, all I've ruined is his skil saw...I kinda cut through the cord...Ooops! )...

We have had girls in residence since last January. The winter went surprisingly well! It usually stayed 15-20 degrees above what it was outside. The sides of the A-frame are made out of Palruf panels (plastic panels) with one side clear and the other white. The...

He's doing really good now
I brought him home, cleaned up the wound and used the spray bandage on him. He's eating, drinking and mating like normal
I bought a Nigerian Dwarf doe today that is supposedly about 1 month pregnant. I'm giving her hay free choice, but am wondering how many cups of grain to feed her a day. Any info would be appreciated
