So, getting ready to order some chicks and a bit puzzled. The breed I am really partial to (Hamburgs) says they are not fond of confinement. Firstly, do they mean 24/7? These little guys will hopefully be doing pest control in the yard and garden for at LEAST a few hours each day. I have no...
I moved and have been chickenless for a few years. And let me say... IT SUCKS! Lol
But, now I am off again. Goodbye Washington DC and nasty HOA... Hello Washington state!
Once I get settled, I am in the market for some small town chickens. I am leaning toward Mille fleur D'Uccles. Any breeders...

In any case...
My new fabric came today (first time I specially ordered expensive fabric sight unseen... I was SO...
Ok... time for the silly newbie question of the day!
I was thinking (which is admitedly dangerous). If I am only planning on having banties... why does my coop have to be so tall? Yes, I HAVE read that many people recomend being able to stand up in your coop. But... um... I really have no...
