    Large run ideas

    So we just bought 4.5 acres and moved our 5 chickens that are set up in a temp run with their old coop and we have 7 other chicken that came with the place that have a very "ghetto" setup that is pretty pathetic. The next outdoor project is going to be making a decent run with a good coop for...

    Sudden chicken death, help find cause

    So our chickens are about 9 months old or so and have been very healthy and no issues thus far. Then tonight suddenly one is dead. They were all fine this morning before I left for work and I only had a quick second to check on them when I came home to grab the eggs before dark. All seemed well...

    9+ week old americauna cockerel

    Have a cockerel who just started crowing and we're not allowed to have roosters so he must go. He's free to a good home or will trade for a hen if you have too many. Hurry, the clock is ticking before I'm forced to take him to zoo to you for tiger food. Thanks, 805-674-6270

It hasn't been too hot the last week that we put the chicks out in the coop, but yesterday got to around 95 and the coop hit over 100 inside. They were panting and had their wings open so we set up our temp run in the shade and hung...

    covering my run

    I'm going to be building the run next weekend and will be using 2x4-60" tall no climb wire that I will have left over from a fence job I'm doing for the sides. The run is in the corner of the yard under a tree, but we have neighborhood cats and hwks during the day. At night we do get possums on...

    Americauna with leg feathers?

    We picked up some 2.5 week old chicks last week and got 3 Americaunas. Weather they are relly americaunas or just EE I don't know, but they look similar to other americauna chick picks I've seen. Anyways, we have one that is mostly just black, but it has sprouted leg feathers. Haven't seen any...

    First coop

    Hello all, been reading through these forums and learning a lot. This is our first time raising chickens so it's all new so far. While I have never built a coop before, I am a carpenter/builder so that's not intimidating or a struggle, it's a matter of figuring out how to meet the chickens needs...
