Im getting back in to chicken but this time with a smaller coop. its going to be a 3x5 hen house. but since its going to be so small im really think about saving as much room as possiable. i use to just set my 3 gallon waterer on a "cookie tin container" that you would get a chrismas time. but...
Ive never owned a chicken tractor. my last coop was a 8x8 and i was able to do a deep liter method. The tractor coop is only 3x5, and 3 to 3 1/2 foot tall. I wont be able to do a deep liter method on this coop i dont think. how does everyone else keep theres clean? i was thinking about just...

Im looking at getting back into raising chickens. "just when you think your out... They pull you back in." but this time im thinking about buying a coop rather then building one like i did last time. I moved close to town where i have neighbors now, so i dont want a big giant coop or an eye...

I am using the deep litter method and I havent changed my bedding since about June and have about 12-14" of bedding. I live in Wisconsin and it has started to warm up a little latley, and I have noticed a little smell of compost. So I stired all the bedding up real good. and to my surprise the...
On saturday I picked up a Nankin Bantam Rooster for my hens. I gues the nankins are one of the smallest bantam breeds?? but he is around 4 months old and super tiny. is there going to be a problem with me keeping the bantam with my standards?? I put the rooster on the roost at night time and...
I was on a pretty cool website called Eggbid.net and I was looking at the grouse. It was about the same size as a chicken. So I started to think if it was possible to raise a couple grouse with my chickens. Of course I would have to cove my run or clip there wings. Put is it possible and does...
