    Question about Ventilation and Light

    Hi all, My builder just finished my coop and the girls are moved in. This is a customized version of the Garden Loft. I'm double checking with the plan designers to see if we missed a step, but the only ventilation in the henhouse is the door (that goes up and down on a pulley). Because the...

    I made this coop closet….what to use it for?

    Hi, My coop is getting finished and I had a closet built in it for storage, except now it’s better for me to store food and snacks in the climate controlled garage so I’m trying to figure out how to use the space. I think I can store bedding and cleaning tools in it but want to dissuade rodents...

    Here’s a fun game…what might these babies grow up to look like?

    So I have to pick two of the “A’s” and the other two are going to a friend. A1-A4 are Ameracaunas/EE’s (I know they aren’t the same, I know hatcheries mislabel - that’s not the focus of this post)…..what I don’t know is how these hens might end up looking - so I welcome any adult pictures of...

    Hen or Roo

    Hey, I live in town so can’t have a rooster. I already rehoused one hen that turned out to be a rooster and now this one (Harriet) has become the top/lead hen. She’s super friendly but she’s vocalizing when she wants out and sometimes in the pen (their coop isn’t done yet. It’s not quite a...

    I need an opinion about fence height

    Hi, Hi everyone! I'm taking everyone's advice and fencing off a section of my newly renovated "dog yard" (even though I was originally resistant to the idea) so that my girls have some free roam space in the hardscape that I have. Originally I thought I needed to keep them cooped since all I...

    I cannot free range or can I?

    Hi everyone, I have six young hens (7.5 weeks old) who are living in my garage while their coop mansion is being built. Every morning, I haul them out to the front yard X-pen contraption so they can enjoy outdoors. Their coop is in the backyard which has ZERO grass. It's totally hardscaped -...

    Not new - just dormant until recently

    Hi, I used this forum when I had my first batch of hens, 10 years ago. Shortly after I got them (three years or so) - my life circumstances changed and the coop and girls went to a friend. My last hen, age 10, passed away last week, according to the friend. She'd survived two fox attacks. I...

    Engagement activities since no free range option

    Hi all, I have seven glorious 6-week-old chickens (all different breeds) in my garage, at the moments, while their coop apartment is currently being built in my backyard. My backyard was redone recently - all hardscaped - since I have three Great Danes who turned my once-had-grass backyard...

    Need some opinions about a compost situation

    Hi everyone, I looked at other threads, but couldn't quite find the answer. I'm finishing up building a chicken coop in my backyard (I live in town). Several months ago, I had all the grass removed from my backyard and 32 tons of river rock hauled in. I have three Great Danes and the grass...

    Coop under deck question

    Long story short, I've found myself in a position to possibly have chickens again. I have four dogs, so chicken safety is of utmost concern. In not wanting to take over yard space, I have identified the possibility of a good chicken location being under my deck. The height from the ground to the...
