    what age do you put the young hens in with the older ones

    I put mine in the coop early on BUT have them seperated by wire or put the wire cage in the coop with the older hens and rooster. They can slowly get used to each other by seeing , smelling and talking but have the safety of the wire cage. When I do intergrate them, I make sure the pullets have...

    The speckled chicks are my Silver lace wyandottes, they lay speckled brown eggs, but tend to be a bit pecky when you pet them.

    What is your friendliest Chicken? What breed is it?

    My friendliest are the New Hampshires in our flock (my son with his favorite when she was younger)with the RI Reds being second and the silver lace Wyandottes being the peckiest. So far my New Hampshire rooster respects me and has never tried to size me up, although Syler, my son, did get chased...

    Thanks Tammy, I enjoy being able to go out and be inside the coop with the chickens, makes it easier for me to clean and makes me smile when I look out at it.

    Nothing But Scrap Wood

    Interesting as I used repurposed items for my coop too....only cost I had in it was 49.00 for the flooring, everything else was from either what I had or my friend had. I love how you have the steps and levels for the chickens. I keep my water poop free as I hang it off the floor, so they have...

    Repurposed Coop

    My repurposed coop cost only $49.99 for the 2 wood floor boards that I did have to actually buy, but everything else I was able to re-use to fit my coop. It all started with the 100 yr old barn that was falling down on our property. I had a friend help tear the rest down and in doing so, he...

    I have a very happy flock with my rooster.....He gives the girls a safe feeling when free ranging and they do not have a problem with "pecking order" as he is the top one, so they all get along and don't pick on just one. He is cautious but not aggresive with me , as I have never challenged him...
