    Pictures of my coop's grazing bed

    I thought I'd share a few pictures of the grazing bed I made in my main coop. I put it right next to the sides to discourage perching/pooping on it. Since it's always in the shade, wheat seems to be the best crop to grow in it right now. I probably made it too high, but I read somewhere the...

    What's a good colored egg layer - - - but with no "beard" ?

    I would like to get a blue or green egg layer to add some color to the old basket. However, I really can't get used to the idea of chickens with beards! It's a personal preference I guess. Is there a beardless colored egg layer out there?

    Have you seen those cool old-time 'Tube Feeders' ? Well, here's a new twist on an old idea

    White Little Fella - Not Sure of the Breed, Not Sure of the Gender

    Hello all, I was given a box of 5 chicks in an old cardboard box marked "Orpington". They were given to us with no warning or consent, but we politely accepted and made room anyway. All of the chicks kind of look like Buff Orpington chicks today (3 weeks later), but one is vastly different...

    Our 'Stagecoach' Clone

    Actually, when I started this project, I didn't realize there was a business out there producing this type of coop (honest!). I started building this from a picture I found after searching through google images for "coop" and this stuck with me and I saved it. I thought the design was very...

We wanted a few Black Australorps, but not finding them, we decided...
