    chickens afraid to go out the pop door!

    The coop is finally done. I loaded them in their new home last night, locked them inside all night and opened the pop door about 6:30 this morning and got one of the girls and put her outside thinking the others would get the hint and go out. Instead she came back in and they are all huddled...

    Wire on top of the run question

    I have surrounded my entire run with 2"x4"x6' welded wire. Around the bottom of the run I put 36" hardware cloth, about a foot of it laying on the ground and covered with about 4" of dirt and running up the fence as far as it would go attached with zip ties. I also used the hardware cloth to...

    Update - one month since husband passed, chicken mansion progress

    So today is July 12, 2010 and I have been without the better half of myself for one month. This house is part of what has kept me going. Finishing it is a labor of love, not only for me but for all who help on it. Most of all my Daddy, his parents - both his Mom and Dad have been here nearly...

    Coop Update - it's been a week since Scott died

    Thanks so much for the condolences and the compliments on my late husband's work of art. I'm sure you can appreciate how much I want to finish what he started. I have the siding up and painted even through the funeral and visitation. I just can't seem to sleep and have had someone around me...

    My husband passed away working our our coop on Saturday, June 12, 2010

    He was the carpenter. I am at a loss. How to go on without him but how do I finish what he started? I've been working a little at a time putting some paint on and some of his friends have been here adding some siding and trimwork. I dug the post holes and set the posts for the run. I need...

    How do you sell your eggs?

    Do you have a sign in your yard, take them to the farmers market or hand deliver to a list of people? Do you use recycled egg cartons or buy your own?

    wire suggestions for run please

    My sweet and hard working husband has been knocking himself out building our coop. I keep saying I am not in such a hurry for the coop but with the chicks already a week old it would be nice if the run were finished so I could use the space during the day. Here's the thing. He is planning a...

    Hi! Another Newbie Post

    I just figured out I should post here after reading this site for months, getting delivery of my chicks on Monday and posting on a few threads since then. My husband is just as enamored with my new babies as I am and he is feverishly working on our chicken house!

    can anyone help me tell my chicks apart?

    I know what I ordered (it's in my signature line) and I think I can tell my Orpingtons from my Rhode Island Reds but after that it gets a little fuzzy. I also think I can tell the Auracana's (at least a few of them) because they have tinier rear ends that kind of drop off while the others...
