Love it. What did you use for the bottom of it? How is it all secured? Details... I'll take 2 to go please!

Thanks for the advice. I'll will try your suggestions and cross my fingers.

She started last week, just sitting on some eggs. I have 3 Red Sex Links (no rooster) and one nest box. So the others are either not laying or I find them under the roost, broken. I have read article after article on what to do to break her. I have removed the eggs under her. I remove her...

She has missing feathers right under her neck. I see skin. Been going on for awhile now and can't figure out what is wrong with her. Otherwise healthy and still getting daily eggs. Anybody know what is wrong with her?

Two bits of advice. I have a 5 year old American Bulldog. When I got 4 chickens over the summer, I worked with him, every day, over about a 2 week period. The first day, I thought I made a mistake because all he wanted to do was eat them from outside their run. Today, Duke and my chickens are...

Just thought I would give an update on my girls. The 2 that were bleeding, LaFonzo and Bevis, are doing great right now. They seem all healed up, feathers are back and I'm getting 4 eggs a day again. The bully, I ended up putting her in "time out" for 5 days in our shed. It was funny to watch...

I have 4 hens. On Monday we discovered 2 of them were bleeding on their back side. Having just become a chicken owner, I had no idea what this was. My wife saw one of the hens pecking at the two, so we assumed that's what is was. When we researched it and learned about prolapse, it made more...

You are correct, they are red sex link. There's Bevis, Butthead, LaFonzo and my favorite, Fabio. Fabio is the smartest of the bunch, as she follows me around everywhere.

I got 4 great girls back in April. First eggs started coming out in late June. By July I was getting 4 a day, every day. 3 times I got 5 eggs in a day. I am still getting 4 eggs a day. Hurricane Sandy rolled through, 4 eggs the next morning. Snowed all Christmas Eve - 4 eggs on Christmas. Snowed...

I have been regularly getting 4 eggs from my 4 girls for the last 2 weeks. Either my neighbor is playing a cruel trick on me or one of them is superhuman. I got 5 eggs today from 4 hens. Do the math on that one!

I have 4 girls and built them a 10 x 10 run. I thought that would be big enough but I am having second thoughts right now. You see, about 2 weeks ago, I started letting the girls out right before dark for about 1/2 hour or so. They tend to stay pretty close to the run and seem to enjoy all the...

I too am dealing with this 100 degree heat. Located in Maryland like the previous post. Surprisingly we have been getting 4 eggs a day from our 4 hens. My run has allot of shade, so I am guessing that is helping out.

Duke is an American Bulldog. Weighs about 160 lbs and mistakenly thinks he is a lap dog.

Not a chance. In addition to the 2 weekends working on this, I had to take off 4 days of work, just to finish it before the girls arrived. So we got the chickens, I asked my wife to go to Southern States and pick up some straw and some more feed. When she got back, she said the following...

Here is my first coop I just built last month. I call it The ChickBurgh Coop. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/676742/my-first-coop-i-call-this-the-chickburgh-coop

This is my story of how I built my first chicken coop. I have a my own accounting business and have a client that has chickens. I would go there every month, do his work and he would give me a dozen eggs or so each time. After about 3 months of doing this, I fell in love with the eggs...
