Good morning, Chevyman. I agree with gdplum, however, I have great success with a 2"x2", then if you need two of them you can use 1 2"x4" cut in half. Don

I hope this is the correct place to post this! We had 24 "Hens" that we raised from chicks we ordered from Murray McMurray 16 months ago. We have been involved with "chickens" for only two years. Well, we decided to downsize, so we just sold 6 White Stars and 6 Black Stars, well the...

If I remember correctly, it is in the ground 2' and app. 8' up. We were lucky to have the Barn wall there, we cut strips from 2"x4"s , and used staples to attach that side to the Barn. Don P.S. No the wind has not bothered it yet, it has been up for about a year!

Gavanandallison.....I guess you could use "chicken wire over the top, but you would have to have quite a frame for it, if were a large area. We have a 35'x30' covered with "bird netting" that we sewed together with those little "zip-ties". We have a large square with rounded edges, on a 4"x4"...

Homeinspectorman....This is how we moved ours. We built it on 2 4x4 "skids", when we built it. Hope this helps.....Just go slow!! Don

Good afternoon........We have a 7 month old Barred Rock, that we think is trying to brood:rolleyes:. We have 25 Hens in that "coop", all the same age, and have never had a rooster.....are they still going to want to "Brood"? I didn't think that they would, since we don't have a Rooster...

Thank you Easttxchick, and Chookchick ! We will check at TSC for some ointment. We have a 12'x12' ex Horse stall for a Coop, but I only have 6 nesting boxes? We feed them the "Purina Layena" and always have self serve "grit" , but had not started them on "oyster shell" yet, they just started...

Good evening........We have 25, 20 week old chicks (pullets), and they are starting to "lay". First 1, then 3, and today there were 9, but we noticed one of the Road Island Reds, had blood on her back side. There does not seem to be anything like "prolapse", we think that maybe (hopefully), she...

Hello Shanel, This is what we did with our 6'x8' coop that we built. We moved it down by the old barn and made a larger run. The run is app. 28'x38'.......I know you will have to go larger, but hope this helps............Don

Good evening Keeko.....Here is a picture of how we did our run. We made a 28'x36' with "T" posts, and 2"x4" steel wire fence. Then we put the "coop" right up to it, cut a square out for the pop door, and stapled the fence to the coop. Later we covered the entire run with plastic bird netting, so...

Good evening LaurelRidgeDreams, Here is a pic of the tunnel we use to get our "girls" from the coop to the run. Hope this helps..........Don[/img]

Thanks C W. Yup, she's still 6v. I don't want to change anything. I also don't want to steal this thread, so I'll e-mail you later. Happy New Year to All !! ....Don

Nice one C W..........Mine is a '52 8n .......Don

Good evening everyone!! We usually get 5 for 5 everyday! Our Girls are Happy,Happy! .....Don

Hello Chicken Chat! Yes, we built the "coop". My son and I usually do everything together, and we did think that we might be re-locating it at some time or another, so we built the floor on 4"x4" skids. Then when we want to move it, we just hook up the 'ol 52, and tow it where we want...

Good evening! Well, this week we decided to bring(drag) the "coop" back down the hill to the "Barn coop" run. We have 5 "Hens" in the "Barn coop", and 26 "chicks" in the "coop". The "Hens" are 9 months old and the "chicks" are 8 weeks old. We wanted the big girls to get used to the little girls...

P.S.....I just noticed you live in N.Y. What about the SNOW:D and the COLD:/......Don

Good afternoon! I think you have enough room,outside. By your dimensions, you have 126 s.f. for 5 birds, of coarse the Ducks are larger than the Chickens, but that should be enough room .You didn't mention the SIZE of the "houses", that would be the concern, but they look large enough. Good...

Good evening........After reading so much about "impacted" or "sour" crop, is it possible that my Hens are eating a lot, all of a sudden, because of the cold weather? They are all getting a "swollen crop" every evening, for the past few days. Hopefully, it is fuel for heat...

Good evening Chicksrcool.......very inventive, look great......Don
