    Need to adopt out Buff Orpington hen...

    Sorry for posting here. Yes, I know there is a section for buy/trade/sell - but I'm not allowed to post there as I haven't made enough posts yet. I have four Buff Orpington hens, about 17 months old, laying well (2-3 eggs per day). And I'm trying to find a new home for one of them (I'm in...

    Total newbie - is this coop OK, and for how many?

    I am just getting started (no chickens yet). I have a homemade coop through freecycle and I wanted to ask if it was sufficient, and for how many birds. Here's the basic idea: Coop measures 37" by 30" (footprint). As you see the roof is sloped, height at the top is 39", height at the lowest...
