    Adding a 2nd coop to an existing flock...

    My coop is too small, I know that, and I plan to build a larger one as soon as I can get my kids to let go of their swing set, probably summer 2014. The hens only sleep in their coop, and are free whenever it is light out, so I don't think they are suffering really. In the meantime.. I...

    do araucanas hold their heads differently than other breeds?

    I have one aracauna hen, about 4 months old, and she just seems different to me than my other 7 hens.

    coop without a run?

    If my chickens free range (in a fenced yard) all day, is there any reason I have to have a run? I'm altering my coop to have more coop and less run since they don't use the run except to eat, and I'm wondering what is stopping me from converting the entire run into coop. Will I regret it?

    neighbors & dogs

    I live on an urban lot (about 7000 sq feet or so) with a fenced back yard (I think it is probably 40 x 60 feet). The fence is a typical privacy fence, so I guess 6 feet tall?. The two gates are 4 feet tall. My chickens free range back there, they have never attempted to leave the yard...

    Are there any human leftovers that you wouldn't feed your chickens?

    I am new to chicken keeping, and in the past, my family has been extremely bad about wasting food. The chickens have helped with that a lot! But I'm unsure if maybe I am feeding them some things that I shouldn't be. So..today's leftovers removed from the fridge were: Beef stew (carrots and...

    egg recipes for people who don't like eggs? :)
