    Ah shucks, thanks everyone. I'm sincerely flattered. I keep four regular-sized hens in it comfortably.

    "Repurposing" things is one of my very favorite pleasures. Thanks!

    The dog house made things go so quickly! I recommend it :D

    You're welcome! It made getting started keeping chickens seem very easy.

    I'm a first-time chicken keeper on five acres in rural-ish Connecticut. I needed a quick coop on the cheap and managed to transform an old doghouse into a chicken coop for about $30, which I've detailed here: The Hodge Podge Coop (BYC page). I got four 10-week pullets in early July '11. Due...

    The Hodge Podge Coop

    My Hodge-Podge Coop (or, Turning a Doghouse into a Chickenhouse for $30) I just bought my first house so it's time for my first chickens. And having just bought my first house, it's rather important to go about accommodating my birds as cheaply as possible. Maybe some day I'll build my dream...

    Hen vs. Dog Tussle- How did your chickens fare?

    Help- What are my young hens doing in these pictures? **Updated**

    Quote: Awww, you called my hens pretty ^_^ Thank you. It does seem that the consensus is they're taking a nice warm sunbath. The first day they did it was much warmer than today, and I was afraid they were OVER-hot. But then I realized, they probably wouldn't be lying in the sun to cool off-...

    Help- What are my young hens doing in these pictures? **Updated**

    Quote: They were so sitting on each other, yes! A big pig-pile of hens. I guess that's a hen-pile. I was envious of their apparent communal nap efforts.

    Help- What are my young hens doing in these pictures? **Updated**

    Quote: I'm laughing at "Ballet du poulet." I've had a pair of small parrots for ages, so I'm well familiar with the little wingy dance. The best time was when I was watching a wild turkey in my yard for a while and she started doing it too. It's much funnier on the larger birds than it is on...
