    Greenhouse?

    I was looking at something along this line to make a coop. My question - can the roof remain as is or do chickens need an enclosed area? Thanks in advance. Whenever I have any questions - I always come here first before jumping into anything.

    Winter watering with no electricity

    I, too, am seeking a way to keep water thawed for my chickens without using electricity. As with others, I am way too far from an outlet. I have a 55 gallon plastic drum with a PVC pipe extended with drip nipples, which they have adapted to very well. I was hoping someone had advice on a...

    Any guesses on what breed this is?

    Yes, I think you're correct after goggling breed. The father was a Black Copper Maran. They are a pretty bird. Just too many roosters, so selling for $6.00/ea. From researching - see many are selling for $10/ea so I am in ballpark. Thank you again for quick response. I love these boards !!

    Hen with some sort a respiratory issue?

    She died in my arms yesterday shortly after I posted. With all the different possibilities of cause, I did an autopsy to look for worms in throat, bugs, etc. Everything was clear except the mass I felt when she was alive, in her throat. I removed it expecting to find a small stone or rock...

    Is this normal spotting on legs?

    I am new at raising chickens, and so far, loving it. I hatched these boys out together and they were to be Dominick roosters. I am a bit baffled. One has a different tail structure and their legs are colored differently. Here are the photos. Can someone tell me if they are Dominick, or is...
