I have 4 white bantam roosters for free. I am in colorado, 12 miles south of Strasburg. Send me a message and come get them! They were part of a large rescue and now are in good health, just too many roosters.
Last night I took part in a rescue of a private home where chickens were being horribly abused. Many were dead in their pens. I managed to save and bring home 23 hens and 12 roosters. Here are a couple questions I need help with:
1. Most are Bantams and their feet are completely stuck together...
I have a large white chicken (the heavy layer kind from McMurray's) who got out of the coop over a week ago. My faithful dog was trying to help put her back? He doesn't like any of the livestock not being where they should be. She lost many of her tail feathers and half of her neck feathers. She...
I finally finished the coop part and managed to finish my peace symbol on the side (priorities). Below is a picture of the space I have available and I am needing to figure out where to set the coop and a run. You can see from the pictures that I have a lot of room, the large barn door faces...
I am trying to build my first chicken coop on the cheap. I finally got somewhere on it over the last 3 days. I still have to put the door on, some hinges and finish the run (ok, start the run). What do you think thus far? I used 4 sheets of plywood, left over 2x4's from building my barn and left...
Okay, this is hard work. Why in the world did I think I could do it in one day? I am tired and sore but it's raining so there ya go....instant excuse!
I screwed up and started building my nest box on the wrong side so now it's going to face a different direction I guess? DH keeps saying that it...
I have lowered the price on them to $350. They are registered and microchipped along with all vet visits and health check. My back needs them to find great homes soon! I can barely pick them up anymore. If you are interested in a new pal, let me know!!
I have dozens of 2x4's 2x2's and misc wood, 100 feet of chicken wire and 4 sheets of plywood plus a few misc pieces. I keep saying I am going to go out and build the thing, I have chickens on the brain.
I was thinking of putting it on the south side of the barn for a snow/wind block. I can do...
These will be my first chickens so i really don't have a breed of choice, I just look forward to having eggs! Still finishing the coop but they would have a lovely home with all of the other critters of the ranch.
I would love to network with chicken owners in my area. I don't have them yet, still planning the coop!
On a side note, we are living "off-grid" and I am always available to help with renewable energy solutions for your home. Run your coop electric on solar, really easy and inexpensive! I will...
Hello all, I am new to the forum and thrilled to have found you! A little about me, I live on a 120 acre ranch where we raise Highland cattle, horses, pigs, a Llama and currently 2 cats and 14 dogs (11 of which are only 7 weeks old).
I have decided to add a few chickens to the brood. I have...
