    Winter proofing a chicken tractor

    So chicken math is already a STRUGGLE for this new chicken owner... I have a coop that comfortably fits 6 chickens - could probably do 8 if I went by the minimum sq ft space/chicken but I want them to be happy and have room.

    How to side my coop

    Good morning!! I bought a homemade coop yesterday 😍 it was an awesome deal and I’m so excited. The previous owner kept it under his large garage awning for 2 years as is and has kept in great shape. I don’t have an awning or any such coverage so I’m looking to side it and roof it in some way...

    When to get a rooster?

    I’m brand new and have been researching, but haven’t found an answer to this! I am adopting 3 Barred Rock chicks from a friend, these will be my first chickens ever. I’d love to have a rooster in my flock since I live more in the country and there are quite a few predators. My question is, when...
