I can't stop watching the Emu cam!

The roof on coop B will have snow weight issues. If snow is a concern for you.

Our friendliest is our EE named Martha. Most times she is willing to be picked up and carried around unless she is busy doing her chicken business such as looking for bugs and stuff.

Im in Connecticut and we arn't looking so special either. My ladies feed inside the coop and water outside in the run. I planned on wrapping the sides of the run with tarps to try and keep the winds and rain down to a min and also to cover the window openings also. overkill? or waste of time?

be sure to start with whats called "starter shingles". they are smaller pieces of shingle, usually half sheets, that are used to offset your shingle lines. You can cut these yourself or you can buy them already cut to size.

or a nice easy add on to an existing coop. If only had a way to transport it

that's one bada$$ water dish!

Yes, finding that willing or already chicken trained sitter is gold!

If they dont really need the heat lamp you could try cutting back to a nightlight. Just so they are not in total dark. Of course im not one to talk. My chickies are 6 weeks now and i still have a heat lamp on in the coop at night. Makes me feel better for now

Some of my chickies like mealworms, some don't. Others earthworms others dont but flies are a popular favorite! Its a 50-50 on the flies the poop that attracts the flies is bad but the flies are fun!

i was thinking a frisbee would probably work also

My chicky ladies are 5+ weeks now and will be going outside soon. With the heat lamp in the coop just to make me feel better. All are 95% feathered so i think they will be ok. I have them out during the days when the weather is good without any issues

i never even noticed they were an agway

probably only need a 900-1000 kilos of play sand. I would imagine it would be well under £100 if not free since hubby in in the trade.

if your going out to Monroe for chicken/farm stuff you should check out Benedict Farms. Its a great place, have just about everything at a good price and great service. We are in New Haven and head out there to get our stuff if that says anything,

howdy neighbor! you found a great place!

with those vents placed at or close to the ridge line you should get a good draw of fresh air through the chickens door and even better airflow with the windows open. If you are really concerned about heat in the coop you could go with a roof vent. The spinning type one actually has an insert...

5 acres seems like a bureaucratic way to limit the amount of people who have chickens without actually saying no.
