    Ants eating chickens alive!!

    Cornmeal is supposed to be good for getting rid of ants (leave some out, they eat it, and then it swells inside their digestive organs). Also, if you know where their nest is pouring boiling water into it should help get rid of them.

    Thing inside of fresh eggs?

    It looks like what is known as 'meat spots' which are bits of tissue from the wall of the oviduct - it is a bit icky to think about but they are quite harmless to eat (or you can just remove them).

    Building a Coop or Buying one?

    If you enjoy planning and building things then building your own coop can be a really fun project and would probably save you a few hundred dollars (particularly if you can find sources of recycled free/cheap materials). If spending the extra dollars isn't an issue and you wouldn't get a kick...

    Where are all my eggs????

    If it isn't down to broodiness then another possibility may be that you have an egg thief - predators obviously will take them if they get the chance, and I have even heard of pet dogs carefully moving eggs from one place to another (for reasons best known to themselves!)

    converting armoire to coop- need your thoughts, experience

    If it is to be used basically 'as is' I think the top floor will be cramped for four chickens when closed up as it would not give them much space to turn/move around in.

    What predators should i look out for

    Predators won't always warn you when they are in the area so even if you don't see them it is probably best to assume that you have a variety of four-legged and winged predators close by.

    Six chickens, coop is 3x3x3. What problems might arise?

    The minimum for adult chickens (depending on breed size) is 1.5 - 3 square feet of floor space inside the coop house http://www.ca.uky.edu/smallflocks/Factsheets/Poultry_management_specifications.pdf although it is obviously more comfortable for them if you can provide more than the minimum.
