    So I have been ALL over this site looking at different coop layouts, runs and such, and I see all these really cute "garden" coops/run or whatever they are called, where the chicks live upstairs and the run is directly below them... with nothing else. It makes me wonder... why are these type of...

    Space and chickens..and ventilation?

    **Updated new questions on post # 12** First off, I am NOT good at math. We were supposed to buy a HUGEMUNGOID shipping crate from a guy in Denver, but he stiffed us, so my DH decided to take on the project himself. It's coming along great, but I'm wondering how many chickens I can comfortably...

    D'Uccle bantams & egg laying expectations?

    So I've got 3 D'Uccles right now. One pullet and the other two are almost a month old, so I know I have a long time to wait for them.

    So, I'm second thinking my coop now. I paid almost $300 for it, but it seems REALLY cheaply made and I can't send it back, because by the time I pay shipping (which I would have to pay because it says so in the fine print AND it is from Canada..) and restocking fees, it would be the same as I...
