    What is this?

    Existing horse stall, how to make it a coop

    Hi all! I'm new and I'm interested in getting some chickens. I have a large workshop in our backyard that has what was once a horse stall at the back of it. I am thinking of converting this into a chicken coop and allowing the chickens to roam free outside the stall in the very backyard. I...

    Hello from Alabama!

    Hi, my name is Beth and I'm interested in getting some hens to keep in our backyard. We live on about 2 acres and it is mostly country out here. I'm a mom to 3 young kids and I would like them to learn to keep chickens and take care of them well. I'm here looking for advice and ideas. Thanks!
