Thank you very much! My husband talked to the local game warden (about deer, unrelated to the chickens) and he didn't know of any laws.

I live in Massillon OH and I have been trying to find out our city laws with chickens. right now I have 5 girls in our backyard, and they are probably not allowed to be there but no one cares lol. We are moving (but still within the same city) and I want to make a permanent, nice coop for them...

She finally laid an egg! But it froze, she didn't lay it in the box, hopefully she will get it straightened out :(

I've been sick for several days, so my husband has been gathering eggs, and doing the food & water. When i went out today, my white hen was back to normal! Still haven't gotten an egg from her, but she looks so much warmer now! Thanks everyone!

Oh ok, when the other two molted it was no where near this bad. Thanks!

So I noticed a small bare spot on her chest the other day, then it seemed like all of a sudden, poor thing is about bare! There are white feathers all over the place, I have heard about mites? Maybe just a bad molt? I feel bad for her, it has been so cold :( She hasn't laid and egg in over a...

So last Tuesday (the 14th) I had a hen go broody (thanks to you all here I figured out what she was doing). I decided that since I had a friend with a rooster I would get some fertilized eggs. She sat on them no problem till Sunday (the 27th) when we decided to move her, I made her her own space...

thanks for all your help, we finally got her a smaller spot within the coop for just her and her five eggs, and now she is not sitting on them! First time in six days! Is there a way to see if there are babies in there?! Hmm!

Thanks!! It is really hot here today (83!) but by Saturday it will be like 60, so goes Ohio weather. I have a friend who has a rooster so she is getting us some fertilized eggs, should be fun! I have never done this before (we bought ours as chicks from Tractor Supply). I will read through the...

I have one that has been broody (just learned that is what it is called) for two days, if I wait 19 more she should be done? I never see her get up, but she has everyone's (all six) eggs under her lol. I've just been pushing her off each day. I even put treats in the pen and she didn't come out!

We got the waterer and food worked out! YEAH!! :) I think this will hold enough food for 4-6 days We were worried about the nipple water system, but they had the hang of it quick!!

I have no idea where to put a roosting bar? Any suggestions!? Thanks!

My hubby is almost done! The original cage is on the right, and the new house/coop is on the left. It has 4 wheels and 2 boxes. The top folds back so I can clean it. I put pine shaving bedding down, I wonder how often I will need to change it? The white board up in the corner is a sheet...
