    Tuh-Duh!! The coop is finished

    "As chickens' feet are not the same as other birds, I would not use limbs but use the 4" side up on a 2 x 4. As they like to sit on their feet with them flat." I disagree, Chickens will naturally roost in trees. Well that's actually my whole argument. In cold weather, it is good to have...

    Ramp into henhouse

    I used a 1" x 12" with small branches screwed to it every 4-6"s with scrap hardware cloth directly on the board under the branches, my ramp is over 4' long though.

    Hen laying small eggs

    My 2 new Americaunas just started laying last week and they are real small as well but my older one layers much larger eggs. I think the eggs will get bigger as they get older. Our barred rocks lay large eggs.

    Best egg production and meat bird

    We did Barred Rocks which were great but I would probably go with Buff Orps next if I need a duel purpose. I have one as an egg layer and I like her a lot.

    chicken mistakes (coop building questions)

    Quote: I feel the same way about this list, I do think that the door should open in not out, so that it will close automatically and not let your chickens out even if you forgot to latch the door.

    Started Mille Fleur D'Uccles and Silkies on My Pet Chicken

    I think price actually lowers with extra pairs. 1 pair is $55, second pair is $45. Pretty birds.

    Anything to stop a dog from killing chickens??

    Quote: I couldn't have said it better. Once they kill, it's only a matter of time before they kill again. I don't have dogs - don't like them so if a neighbor's dog ever get's into my birds, bye bye! Not true, some puppies will do it and be great once they get older, don't listen to the old...

    Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth. Do you know the complete benefits?!?!

    chicken toys ??

    I hung a cd from fishing line in the coop, it works like a disco ball (they chase the light moving around) and the hens peck at it (their reflection), I think the likely hood of them hanging themselves is about as likely as them drowning in their own water.
