    Height of fence in run

    We have a good 5 and a half foot fence and once they were full grown they were flying out of it all day long. We ended up having to net the whole thing to keep them in and hawks out. It's not the prettiest thing but it does the job. We did make it tall enough so we didn't have to hunch over...

    Bribing Neighbors

    I think you'll be fine with your roo. I live in a neighborhood that is quite compact but my neighbors have been awesome! Granted, I don't have a roo, but my girls are quite loud throughout the day. One neighbor gives me all her fruit, bread and green leftovers and I give her eggs. I give...

    My neighbors think I am crazy....

    Congrats on the squatting!!! Mine squatted about two weeks before the first egg, but I realize they're all different. I was doing my late afternoon coop cleaning when I spied the egg. I thought someone was playing a joke on me by putting a plastic egg out in the run. Lo and behold is was a...

    Ants in coop

    As the summer heats up I've noticed lines of ants going into my coop. We have the base of our house sprayed for ants but nothing where the chickens are allowed to be. I don't like the idea of ants inside with the chickens----Is there anything anyone recommends to keep ants out? They don't eat...

    Keeping a barn cat in the chicken coop?

    Speaking of rats.....We went to let the chickens out to forage in the front yard and they made a beeline for a dead rat. We chased them off becuase it would have been too gross to see them pecking at it. It was a huge rat with the head found a few feet away. Guess one of my cats had a good...

    Keeping a barn cat in the chicken coop?

    I have three cats and they were all grown when I got my chicks. They were interested in them but didn't stalk them. Now that the chickens are full grown they like to watch them but the chickens will run them off if they come too close! I highly recommend getting a young male cat (neutered!)...

    I think I need to re-home my chickens

    My girls are almost seven months old and had me pulling my hair out trying to keep them in their area. We are in a regular neighborhood (that allows hens only) and they have been flying on top of the five foot high fence and jumping over the other side. We tried everything except clipping...

    Pre-egg laying development signs

    About two weeks ago a few (I have five girls) of them would squat and freeze if you came up behind them. A week ago they all did it and just three days ago I got my first egg!!! Two hens must be laying because I've been gettting two eggs a day since! It was SO exciting! LOL!! Now, to find...
