    Looking for SEXED "Rare breeds" in the West Chicago Suburbs.

    I'd like to add some more "fun" birds to my flock. I currently have 2 roos which get along so far (though I do have to go out and give them a talking to occasionally) and don't want to take the chance of adding any more roos....however, it's hard to find the Polish, the blues, or any of the...

    Thank you so much! That is so reassuring! And Yes...the VERY day that she went missing we started making arrangements to enclose their yard as I was not going to let them be picked off one by one! Winnie and I really appreciate your reply.

    How do you make your chickens more comfortable with you?

  16. Branches from the yard were added so that they could start to roost. Roosts in the outside coop will be larger to protect their feet from frostbite.

  17. My girls. 10 in total. In my makeshift "larger" brooding box. It's a dog crate with cardboard around the bottom to keep shavings inside and mesh wire around the outside to keep kitties from "reaching" in.

    Garden beds raised up off of the ground?

    I did raised beds last year (we built them from stacked barn beams). I did love them in that they saved my back big time. With regard to your hens foraging underneath them my only word of caution is that many of my veggies were eaten by the birds before I could get to them! At the time we had...
