    It is my honor to announce...

    I started building my coop last year while my friends were gutting a house they'd bought. They let me take whatever I wanted from their demolition pile, and I hauled a LOT of stuff away -- lots of odd-sized studs and scraps of plywood. They probably saved me a couple hundred bucks on my coop...

Yesterday I brought home four chicks, and next weekend I'll pick up two more. ...I was supposed to get five, but I met a...

    What do you want to store near your chickens?

    Hi all! I'm a new member, in the research-and-design stage. One of the things I'd love to incorporate in my coop is storage for essentials, because I know my own laziness. Problem is, since I haven't kept chickens before I don't know what the essentials ARE, and for the essentials I can figure...

    No chikkinz yet

    Hi all -- I've been considering chickens for a long time, but my boyfriend gave me an ultimatum ("Finish your art studio before you take on chickens). The art studio is finally done (window trim doesn't count, right?), so I'm getting more serious about chickens. I've been drafting coop designs...
