    I am in the process of adding more windows and ventilation. The girls only go in the coop to lay and to go to bed at night. We bring their food and water out every morning because I have found they drink more water when it out. The coop is fully shaded until about 3:00 on the afternoon when it...

    ***ADVICE NEEDED**** We have a 16 week old EE pullet that has suddenly started acting weird. She has been fine all day but around 6:00 she started walking with her wings away from her body, her neck feathers are fluffed and all she wants to do is lay under the bush. She has not layed yet but...

    The plans were for a kids playhouse I got from Rockler.com. Its a carpentry site and the plans were worth the $12.00 they cost. It was originally supposed to have a front porch that went all the way across, but I changed it to add the "bedroom" in the front. This gave us an extra little bit...

    I am finally getting around to posting pictures of the coop. It has been "liveable" for the last month or so, but it still needs some exterior trim work and decorations. The girls really seem to like it. This was my first real attempt at construction and I am pretty proud of it. The girls...

    Lord I hope not. I haven't been home yet. I would hate to have to disown one of my girls for a little mistake like that, but some things we just can't stand for. Gig 'em.

    We got our first egg today from one of our girls. I think it is from one of the barred rocks but not sure. Any ideas?

    I am not concerned about them being purebred. I think they're beautiful birds either way. This is our first flock and we just wanted a little color in the egg basket. These girls are going to be spoiled that's for sure. My kids think they are better than all the other pets

    The feed store said they were Ameraucana's, but after all the threads I read about mistaken identity, I can't confidently say anything.

    Sorry to hear about your flock Cockle-Dood. That is one thing I am nervous about is securing the flock. Our family if very animal friendly and I have 3 small children. We have already lost some pets to old age/natural causes, but we havent had to deal with any accidental loss. I hope I can...

    We're in on the outskirts of Hockley about 7 miles west of Magnolia and 40 miles north of Houston. I just found out that my wife has bought two Barred Rock chicks today. This came about an hour after we decided to go pick up 2 Ameraucana's tomorrow with the kids. I need to hurry up and build...

    I just wanted to say howdy to all the Texas people. My wife and I were just given our first chicks on Easter, 2 very pretty golden sex links. The kids are in love with them. I have been trying to learn all that I can, but any helpful advice would be appreciated.

    My wife and I were just given 2 golden sex linked chicks for Easter. My neighbor and I had been talking about raising chickens and he sort of forced my hand. They are very sweet and the kids love them already. They were named yesterday. Pecky McPeckerton and Abby are being very well cared...
