What are some MUST have's or some DO NOT's for a coop that you have learned through trial & error?? I bought a childs playhouse & plan to turn it in to my first coop. It looks like a miniature house with a peaked, shingled roof (my pic won't load!! GRR) It is a 6foot square & 6foot floor to...

I found my 1 month old EE with a crooked foot tonight. It wasnt like this yesterday when I gave them baths (...they sure can get poop everywhere!!). I inspected all the chicks feet because they've been going outside & because I hadn't really looked at them before & wanted to know how each other...

I was hoping to find something to help my little Bantam chick Happy. My Buff Orpington, Lemondrop (4 weeks old & happy is 3, but tiny) pecks her every time she just hops by. She also pecks one of the Easter eggers, Lassie (3 weeks old) I have no idea why. Unless she just doesn't like that they...

I love this coop!! The out side garden is so cute!! I don't have a green thumb but I want my Chickies to have greenery like this. You did great!!

I helped a neighbor with her broody hen tonight. She was sitting on 17 eggs!! The eggs are absolutely not fertilized but she wants to know if she can still eat them?? Going over to check on the hen tomorrow. We got her out of her "nest" and up in to the hen house (it's only 1 chicken, she has...

Are you talking about ACV w the "mother" in it? Or just plain old Acv? What is this " mother" acv & where do ya'll buy it?

New chicks we decided to add to the flock For some reason I can't upload their pictures!! We got a Brown leg horn, another light colored americauna, a black sex link & a small yellow banton ( sp) chick. I don't really know what shes going to be...

Chicken math has bit me & decided today we'd get another chick or two. We brought home 4. One of them had pasty butt, we soaked it off & it seems as though her vent is protruding some. Shes been eating, drinking & pooping (plenty of poop in the few hours we've had her) I'm not real sure what...

I've been reading & reading trying to figure out what to do with Tumbles flock. We have 8 1 week old chicks (1 buff orpington, an Australope (sp), a Bluff Rock, an Americana and 3 easter eggers. A) build a coop. It wont be very large, but could possibly add on next year. I have some material...

I will, Thank you. I've been doing a ton of reading. They're getting so big already & I'd like to get started on something soon.

We're in Indiana. Some winters aren't so bad, others aren't so good. Its very windy & I get huge snow drifts around my house, so I figured we'd insulate the coop a bit.

Does anyone use regular poultry fence for their coops ? I didn't realize how expensive the galvanised stuff was but want to keep my chickens safe. What do you guys use?

I keep reading about how people put vinyl flooring for the floor of their coops, I have a question; Would it be possible to use the vinyl sheets like people use for walls in wet area? I believe they are sold in 4ish X 8ish sections (like plywood size) and are not very expensive. Could this...

We have a silvery/grey/blueish EE too. her face is the color of honey, then the grey/silver & blue go from there. I cannot wait for her to grow & see what she looks like. EE are such a fun surprise!!

No, they still have heat. They are a week old. I just thought maybe with the temp rising out side it might be okay. They're so curious about whats going on. When we walk in the room, tap a finger on the side of the box, they come over & want to be held. Tumbles, Matilda & Fudge especially want...

Its getting nicer here in Indiana, can I let Tumbles & the flock play out side? I have something I can put them in with an open bottom & top to corral them.

I was wondering the same thing. Any suggestions on what else they can eat? Or some thing they definatly SHOULD NOT have? Can they eat grass? Dandilions? Mine are in a box & I'm not sure if I could collect enough little bugs for them...lol. They seem to be growing like crazy!! We've only had...

I don't know much about chicks, but your mystery chick looks like our Rhode island Red.
