    Please help me figure these out! :-D

    My husband bought these chicks but I am not sure what breed they are. There are 4 black ones and their feathers have a green and purple sheen to them. There are also 2 that may be Barred Rocks?

    Hello, I am going to be building a new chicken run and would like to build a grape arbor over it. I did a search and found a few ideas, but I just can't seem to wrap my head around those ideas for my yard. I live in town, and I have a yucky looking run now. I want a larger run, and I want to...
