We have asked around with no luck. We live in a small community. No one has said they are missing chickens or know someone who does. Knowing one is banded I'm assuming there is a way to track them but I can't get close enough to see if his band has a number.

The last pic is the rooster if you zoom in on his left foot he is banded, the only one that is banded. They are still skidding this was the best pics I've gotten so far.

I recently had 8 chickens free range themselves into my yard. I was hoping they would head back home but it seems they aren't leaving. I did notice today there is a rooster, he is banded and has little spurs. They seem to be all the same breed but that is all I know. The last pic has a light...

Someone on this thread mentioned the hen with the reddest comb was ovulating. Does that work for all types of hens? My girls dont change color. My older #1's comb has faded to a pinkish color and it has fallen over. My other #2's comb was fire engine red before they started laying eggs it has...

I think she is a little physco be honest. They were both very affectionate when they were fluffy chicks even when they were fully feathered before laying eggs. I call them Thing 1 and Thing 2 after the Dr Seuss characters. I won #1 at a carnival and bought #2 the following week. They both liked...

I can tell which one of my girls lay eygs by their reaction to me. The younger of the 2 puts her foot up on the pen and makes a big deal with all kinds of noise. The older one looks at the egg walks back to the front of the pen and cocks her head sidways. Like ok I did it come pet me and move...

Oh ok. Im not that hightech. It will be me opening the door and shutting the door for awhile. Since it will move around the yard it will be hard to hook up electricity. I did think about a small solar panel. I thought about putting a deer camera in there and possibly a electric door so I could...

@Marktoo I was looking at ours and figured hinging it would be the only way. Afterwards I saw your post. I may end up having to do thst will just have to see. I just need to get my girls into the bigger house. They seem to be bored and getting mischievious now.

@XtremeRooster So do they scratch at all? It seems it would be hard for them to dustbath with a floor full of holes.

Ohhhh ok blonde here was really confused by the concept. That would make more sense on a stationary house. We will see how things go. The idea of that bumble foot stuff what would you have to do to fix that? If it were to happen.

Being here in Louisiana that design wouldnt work. I have to stop them from getting to the ground incase we have flood water. Especially during hurricane season we have had 2 foot of water set for days in our yard. I dont want to find my girls floating in flood water. If I have to expand I can Im...

The bottom of the is 25 square feet that is ground space not including the ramp. That would only give a 1 squared foot piece in the middle if I did an apron. (If Im understanding the apron idea.) As far as tipping it over, it takes 2 of us to move it as it is now. Its not going anywheres.

We want to move ours around the yard to try to stop them from toally tearing up all the grass in one place. Plus to help fertilize our yard. The mulch idea would kill the surviving grass idea. :(

We are hoping to finish today. Girls in tonight. We will see.

I have this same issue. I have already put the chicken wire down and stapled to the bottom. My girls are not in there townhouse yet. I did the wire because they will have access to this area when we are not at home. Should I have another area without wire when we are home? We have happened upon...

I know I couldnt recover our money selling the one we are doing. But the peace of mind once there in it will be worth it. With the flooding issues we have due to hurricanes and such here in Louisiana I had to be sure I didnt come out and find my girls floating in Nasty. They are happy and enjoy...

I have changed my chicken townhouse. Instead of 6 boxes I made 3 boxes. The Louisiana weather, work, and life have gotten in the way of me finishing the house. Im getting it done though. Hopefully I will beable to post some pictures soon.

My girls are doing much better. I have changed to laying since they have started laying over the summer. My girls Thing 1 and Thing 2 (from cat in the hat) are doing muh better.

The coop is bigger then what is needed for 2 that way I don't have to build another coop if I totally lose my mind and get some more. I figure it's the size for 4 - 5.

I was taking step by step pics but I kinda threw the cam and got covered with sawdust. Lol I'll see what pics I can come up with.
