    Black Australorp Rooster in need of a new home. Currently resides in Bloomington IN.

    Shadow was supposed to be a hen when we got our chicks last year but he turned out to be a rooster instead. Since he was my daughter's chicken we couldn't get rid of him and he wasn't causing any problems or crowing yet. He crows now which is not a problem but as we only have 6 hens and don't...

    Got sand? You should!

    How deep does the sand need to be? I am getting close to finishing our new coop for the girls to winter in. The hen house portion is 5' X 9' and the enclosed run is 10' X 9'. Right now the run has grass but that won't last long once the girls get in there. The roof overhangs the covered...
