    Rainy area, dry idea

    My rooster Vlad always takes the girls up against the coop for safety. So does this not only make him feel safer but it's also dry. The entire run area is covered with wire anyway....but Vlad is a tiny roo and thinks he's "saving" his girls from hawks:) Stickers and striped table cover from...

    DIY door opener Help!

    My coop is a large insulated shed. A storm door for me in the center and each side for these chickens and those chickens. Instead of “doors” we installed 2 windows we found on clearance. We pull open their windows then push them closed at night. OK! so my favorite thing is to design stuff using...

    10 week old light Brahma roo?

    We got this "roo" about 2 weeks ago and the lady was convinced it was a roo. She couldn't tell me how she knew. I've looked at pics and read a bunch of old threads. He's (?) our first Brahma so I am just learning about them. I have 3 cochins, so I understand size and a slow maturity. So what do...

    Large fragile spot on eggs

    My Amberlinks lay huge eggs. I have one that lays bullet shaped eggs. But lately the top has this rough dark spot that if you slightly push on it cracks?

    No more bumbles

    It’s said that chickens prefer to roost flat footed. They keep their feet warmer and don’t tend to get sores. I’m letting people know about this stuff. I was making roosts and ramps while we were having a door installed. I covered the 2x4 and 2x6 roosts and the ramps. The ramp had the little...

    Turns out Cochin isn’t a Buff 🤷🏼‍♀️

    This is Carmel now. I posted the first pic back in Sept. everyone said she was a Buff. Ummm she’s red with a black tail 🤷🏼‍♀️ We should have named her Cinnamon instead of Carmel 😂😂 Any Cochin people?! Is this a normal or rare color??

    Cochin chicks VS dog toys

    I have two Cochin chickens, one I think will be a Buff and the other a Partridge. We let them out to runaround the living room. They are hilarious and the yellow one does the best “flight checks” I’d love to catch her on video. All of our chickens have come in and played with or mastiff and her...

    Coop sand mold

    My playhouse coop and attached regular coop have leaks which will all be fixed when my giant clear tarp comes this week. But the sand got wet and it has furry mold on it just overnight. I’m extremely allergic and have asthma attacks from mold so I realize it’s important to get it away from the...

    2 coops 2 doors 1 app???

    I want to buy automatic doors for both my coops. Are there any with wifi that can be controlled on one app? I really want a way to check a few cameras and open/close doors with one app. Do I buy doors with wifi? Or plug electric doors into a home hub or something? Help. I'm not a IT specialist...

    Breed?

    She’s now 16weeks, got her at Wilco. The sign said blue rosecomb bantam. I was excited to see the large white earlobes. She’s not blue, and definitely has the wrong earlobes and is so small. She does have a rose comb. What did I get? Also can fly like a actual bird!

    Rooster died

    Our rooster Pearl was found dead yesterday, he was a 8 month old silver silkie and really did a great job taking care of the 5 hens. Our 3 9 month old Amber links didn’t really listen to him, the Barred Rock not so much either, but the gold laced Wyandotte “Dottie” was stuck to his side. When he...
