    Triple yolk...SMH

    So I’m really new to chickens so excuse me if this is a silly question or it’s already been answered somewhere in the thread - does double or triple yoke mean double or triple embryos, if they were to make it to hatching? Or just one with as much yoke as she can eat?

    Tooshtoosh Has Brought His Chicks

    I’m now assuming they freaking LOVE plums!? I know I do. We don’t really have Emus over here in the UK, certainly not wild, but we don’t really have many in captivity or on reserves either. It’s a shame, most of us know little about them as a result. But I suppose it’s great that we have no...

    I used Sketchup, the free version. I used it at Uni when I was studying Interior Architecture and it’s come a long way since then! It’s the best free, web based, CAD out there in my (somewhat limited) experience.

    So there’s been progress! Firstly, I tested negative for Covid so my cough is just a standard winter cough. Phew! Secondly, I have been busy with my new power tools! While I love my circular saw I’m particularly enjoying my little electric nailer! So quick! So firstly I noticed some old...

    I love these thank you! I’m def still looking for a name. I like the Cluster Flock, and my husband will love it, but I also love The Old Hennery, it just feels slow paced and old timey 😍

    This is my plan! I'm just going to make a frame for the 'lid', aka the hinges roof, cover it with fine but strong mesh to stop little ratties sneaking in and screw the onduline to the top, leaving the corrugations open for added airflow. Job done ✅

    Newbie chick shed and WIR build

    So I spoke to the British Hen Welfare Trust today to finish my registration for rehoming ex-commercial chickens and went through the set up I’m planning - they were tinned at the size of my planned coop and said that they go by 1sqft per bird - vastly different than the 4sqft everyone seems to...

    Themed coops anyone?

    These are great, thanks CinnaBun! I’m seeing a few here with wire flooring in them, I assume so the poop falls right through - are the chooks okay walking on this? Sorry if this is a naive question, I’m preparing for my first hens which will be ex-bats so I just assumed that caged flooring was bad.

    There is actually one thing you guys might be able to help me with in the meantime if you’re game? I need a name for my coop/run. I’m really focussed on it being a retirement home so have a little think about any chicken retirement pins you can come up with - I’m drawing a blank at the moment...

    Themed coops anyone?

    I’m in the process of designing a coop at the moment and I suddenly though to myself - would it be wonderful if the coop looked like Hagrid’s Hut? Or, even better - the Burrow, mishmash home of the Weasleys!? I feels strongly that this is beyond my current capabilities, however I’d love to see...
