    Just getting started and I think I want Welsh Harlequins

    I joined here because I was going to get some chickens. However, after much thought and lots of advice, I have decided that because of their dust problem (I have allergies), I would be better with ducks. I am looking for hardy (I live in PA) and good egg layers that can also be good pets. Would...

    Already have a shed that is very sturdy

    The shed is wooden, but the mower is gas. I am thinking that it is not a good idea to house them in the shed so I am back to building a coop. I have had some good advice about the chickens and I might have to only have ducks. The chickens are very dusty and could be a problem with my allergies...

    Personally, I would watch the behavior they are displaying. I am 100% right if I can see behavior differences

    Crazy mood swing Macaw

    OK, I don't even know where to start. Let me just say I am a bird behaviorist. I have been training and caring for parrots 30+ years. So I have a deep love for all parrots, but macaws are my specialty. I'm going to write you a volume of information but there is no way I can tell you everything...

    Already have a shed that is very sturdy

But it doesn't fill the whole shed. do you think that I could section off a part and make it into my coop. I want to keep about 3 chickens and...

    Drumstick Diva. Love the hat. OK, thanks for the information on the Silkies. I will look for others that will be compatible with the Barred Rocks. Do you know of any breeds that would be compatible with the Barred's

    Don't even have the chickens yet

    OK, thanks for the reply. It is too cold and the snow is too deep to go out and get you a picture of my shed. It is really large and up off the ground. I do use it for storage so I could only dedicate part of it for a coop. Just don't know how that would work out. So Hosspak do you have a...

    Don't even have the chickens yet

    You guys seem to have a mixture of different types of chickens. Is there a reason for that. Can silkies survive Pennsylvania winters? Do you put a lamp or warming device in the coop?

    Don't even have the chickens yet

    Wow you guys are the best. Instant replies. I love it! OK, I am not afraid of work. I was raised with Morgan horses and know what it is to muck out a stall. Plus I have parrots now. They are tons of work. So building a chicken coop is just another adventure. I might be able to convert part of a...

    Don't even have the chickens yet

    I am about to launch myself into my first experience with chickens. I have chosen 2 breeds that I want to start with - Rhode Island Reds and Barred Rocks. I am looking for winter hardy, best egg-laying, not broody, pets! Did I pick some good breeds. I also may want to throw a Silkie into the...
