    Americaunna HEN OR ROOSTER??

    Yeah craigslist sounds like a good idea..had to do that before with a BR. We don't name or pay much attention to the meat birds as to not get attached, but the 'girls' that is a different story altogether lol.

    de-worming questions

    My girls are a year old and have never done anything regarding de-worming. Maybe I'm behind the eight-ball on this? I use DE in the coop and run which is sand. Is worming done just to prevent worms? I've not had an issue w/ any. I'm going to try the cayenne flakes route but have never...

    Hens roosting outside?

    The run is completely covered w/ hardware cloth...you may be right on the space issue. I looked at other coop designs before we built it and saw the ladder idea...I figured they would take different rungs. Although it does look like they roost on the top bar in the coop and they are on the top...

    Roosting...do I need to remove straw bales?

    Thanks. I may just have hubby put in an 'attic' and store the extra up there. Now I'm wondering if we provide 'bedding', what is the purpose of it if they are supposed to roost at night? when do they roost? bed? and nest ??? totally confused.

    Roosting...do I need to remove straw bales?

    I have a 4x8 hen house for our 4 hens and 1 roo (16 weeks). I have 3 bale of straw, 2 are against a wall and go up toward the roof. The chickens all huddle together up there since we blocked off the nest boxes after reading the posts on here. Should I remove the bales? There is a wooden ladder...
