Well, it's been 10 years that we've built around this little plastic playhouse. It's made a move to the country now and has been holding up pretty well! I thought I'd share some pro's and cons that I found over the years. I know there are plenty better links out there with how to reuse these...

Wonderful! I have the same house that has lasted 10 years so far. You've inspired me to add some updates. My run goes out through the fireplace door, opposite of the front door. I may want to open a small door like your's through the side for another run to go into another hen house! I...

I have three hens that are all 2 years old. This is the first year that one of my girls got sour crop. ( only alittle experience) It is terribly confusing to diagnose and treat an animal by myself, but there was no way hubby was going to let me bring a hen to the vet. I brought her away...

well, I think I would go with your first idea and call him Bus. However, it would be more odd if you added a title before it like...DR. or Mr. .... Mr. Bus, I laughed as I said it. I saw someone suggest a name with the word feather in it.... so maybe DR. Feather Bus When I first saw...

My neighbor has a fence line of Rose of Sharon which the japanese beetles love. She uses a mild soapy spray on her trees which seem to keep the numbers down, and she says the plants acually grow nicer because of it. I do what most others say on the post. At first I was going around the yard...

I realize your problem has probably been fixed but I just wanted to make a response too just in case other new chicken owners are reading this for answers too. I have a plymouth barred rock ( 10 weeks) that had her eye closed shut, and rarely opened it...she seemed lathargic and didn't want...
